1. Quayside Petspa - CLOSED
Have I mentioned lately how much Puck loves this place. Took him in today and Sandy, the owner, was there. I think his squeal of delight was soooo high pitched that I hurt an ear drum. Sandy is amazing, kind and a great lady to talk to. Not only…More »

2. Metropolis Eyecare Centre
So a previous review ranted a bit about the cost to see the optometrist. Lets just say I am eating my words, well just a little. They are still expensive ($90 for an eye exam) but they not include the dilation of your eyes in that cost if you need…More »

Health and Medical

Today was my first foray into the blood donation realm. Ok, not totally true, I have tried to donate twice at the New Westminster Clinic but have been unsuccessful due to illness or medication, so I was very happy to get the go ahead today.

At my office we order cakes for every body's birthday and recently we ordered an ice cream cake from here. I have never tried Marble Slab's ice cream so I was looking forward to getting a little taste, just enough to whet my palate.

5. Loonie Plus Stores
I have been looking for a dining room table for months! I knew what I wanted but wasn't seeing it anywhere. So last week my bf and I went into the local Loonie Plus store to see some of the furniture they have to offer (obviously more the Plus side…More »
6. REVS Bowling & Entertainment Company
What a night! My body is still sore from the bowling adventures of my friends and I! When my girls night changed to a double date the plans on seeing a movie changed to a night of bowling! How fun that choice was. Imagine if you can 1 manly man…More »
7. Hayashi Sushi
I just couldn't wait until my 100th review to give kudos to this place. I have been a fan since I moved into the area back in Aug 09. I have eaten in and had take away. I have never had a bad experience with either. A nice twist to the typical…More »
8. New Westminster Quay Boardwalk
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 »
9. Sunrise Garden Centre
So I was back here today! I just love, love, love this place. I am working on a vegetable/fruit/herb balcony garden and they had so many of the things that I wanted. There are a couple of things that they don't have for mint plants (i.e. chocolate…More »

10. Pacific Breeze Winery
I am a wine fanatic and wasn't this a great find in New Westminster. Who would have thought that great wine would come from a garage!!! It's within walking distance for me but for anyone driving it's just off Stewardson Way and 3rd ave (i think…More »

This is probably the best place to see a live concert. it's small and intimate but the sound is the best in the entire city. No surprise there as it was sound renovated for the VSO. The venue itself is also the most beautiful venue. It's old and…More »
12. Asuka Sushi
I miss living by this little gem! It opened a couple of years ago and I was a regular until I recently moved. Jonathan, the owner, is a perfect host and the food is fantastic! I have never had a bad experience! I usually get the Sashimi box…More »
13. Salvatore's La Spaghetteria

16. Divino's Quayside Wine Cellar
Well I figure I better add some more for you Yelpers! As my previous review mentioned, this is my place of worship. This store and the gentlemen that run it make it an experience. The wines they carry are from around the world so this in not a VQA…More »
17. Wellbrook Winery
If you are looking for your regular grape wine, this is not the place for you. If you are interested in trying a Blackberry Port, Blueberry Red or Apple Cran White, then check out this little gem.
The first time I stumbled onto this place I was…More »
18. Petsmart
This PetSmart store is fantastic and puts a couple of the others to shame. Sherry, Alannah and Ariel are fantastic and it would be a shame if they ever left. My dog loves it there and all three are his "girl friends".

23. Sephora
This was the Sephora store that started it all! They were sooooo good to me, helpful and knowledgable. I have never had a bad experience at this location. They are the reason I should have shares in the company!
24. Cockney Kings Fish & Chips
Love this place! If you want to best Fish & Chips, this is the place to get them. They have recently moved across the parking lot into a nicer building with a patio and I can't wait for the sun to come out so I can enjoy it!

My other dirty little secret. I had a blast in here for stocking stuffers. Nothing like a spiderman toothbrush and toothpast for a 44 year old man. I like that it has a vast array of items for the picking. I came out with a shopping cart full and…More »

Today was my first foray into this little shop of fun! I could browse all day andd can't wait to have more time to do so. This is not the place to run into and have someone waiting in the car for you (like I did today lol).
The shop is ecclectic.…More »
28. Bath & Body Works
I love this place for the handsoap. Yes the deal isn't the same as you will find in the states but I think the difference is minimal. If one really feels the need to save the whooping $5 difference (in US funds of course) then drive to Bellingham…More »
29. Waves Coffee House
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!

Ahhhhh how I LOVE your poutine! I crave you all the time but alas have to relinquish that lust for awhile.
The secret to a less salty, gooey goodness is ask for the fries without salt as there will be enough in the gravy train.
36. Hi, Dozo Sushi
Since this Sushi restaurant is uptown I completely forgot about it until I asked my pops where he wanted to go for Father's Day lunch. I must say I am always glad to get out for lunch with my pops and what better place than Hi Dozo.
We ordered Ebi…More »

AHHHHHH! I am in LOVE with this place! Handbags are one of my vices and this store has it all. Not only do they have THE BEST prices on Coach bags, they add on by having 20% off on top of the 50% off on top of the marked down price of the outlet…More »

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 :)! |
