 1. New Westminster Quay Boardwalk

The Quay
New Westminster, BC

  5/8/2010 First to Review

I LOVE living just off the Boardwalk.  It is so relaxing and refreshing to walk here with my dog.  I start at one end and walk to the Doggie Park on the other and once Puck has had his fill of the Doggie Park, we walk home.  The view of Fraser River…More »

This place can be a little overwhelming as there are so many books but the nice thing, compared to other used book stores, is it is easy to browse through and find a section you are looking for.  The owner can come across as cranky but he is very…More »

This is my saturday or sunday morning coffee shop!  I take little dog and go for walk to Waves.  It has great coffee and nice seating outside.  Wish it had a bit more seating inside for the rainy days, but don't we all!

There is nothing better on a Sunday morning drive than a Timmy Ho's. This one is perfectly located between the places the man and I frequent the most.

What I also liked was that in the drive through and at the front doors they had recycle receptacles…More »

I love tea and coffee.  This past week on my way to Donald's Market I saw the sign that this Tea shop was open so I just HAD to go in.  I was hoping to find something that I would enjoy as a treat for ME, because you know it's all about me.

I am a coffee addict and I was super excited to have another coffee house within a 5 minute walk from my house.  Although I am not a huge fan of Starbucks coffee it is starting to grow on me.

This location is new and the service is impeccable which is…More »

I have been a fan of KJM  for awhile and was super excited to see that they were opening up a location in the River Market by my house.  My husband probably isn't as excited as it means more plants for our balcony when the construction is complete.

I don't know about the parking issue or signage from 6th but living at the Quay I was able to walk there in less than 5 minutes which makes this a fantastic option.  With gas prices the way they are, any reasonably priced grocery option within…More »

Here are the places I will willingly take my animals too!

Pet friendly businesses (34)

Hello yelper friends!  If you are anything like me your dog (s) go everywhere with you and you hate leaving them in the car, so here is a list of pet friendly businesses.  Just don't let them pee everywhere because it could ruin it for the rest of us! I heart my pets!

Mary Kay (3)

Since I am an Independent Beauty Consultant with Mary Kay, I figured I would share with you the pro and cons of hosting some events outside the home :)!  Did that make sense lol?  Basically these are places/businesses I come into contact while trying to build my business!

Retail Therapy (69)

When I am down and depressed I take myself shopping and I feel happy!

4* (just a little something missing) (134)

These are all great places but there was always something missing.  Didn't make them horrible but didn't get them the coveted 5*!!!

On the cheap! (58)

Cheap is all in relation to the item and thus this list has many different price ranges BUT they are all cheaper than their competitors.  I have also put in a few out of country items too :)!

I love me some clothes... (22)

I don't think a clothing list needs a description lol.

Food, food & more food! (43)

I love food!  Here are some of my fav places to get my food on!

The 5 Spot (85)

5 stars only club!

Grocery Shops (22)
