1. Aquabus
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
Canada
(604) 689-5858
Categories:
Boating,
Public Transportation
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
I like rainbows. I like boats. Aquabus combines the two.
What could be more fun than hopping aboard a rainbow-colored boat and being ferried to all kinds of cool locations? With zero wait time and cool college-kid drivers (skippers? captains?)?
As cool…More »
2. Executive Hotel Vintage Park
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1R7
Canada
(604) 688-7678
Categories:
Shopping,
Apartments,
Hotels
Neighbourhood: Downtown
If you get road rage like me and refuse to drive in a strange city, you should stay here. It's an easy walk down to the water where you can catch the Aquabus to just about anywhere or just a few blocks away from a plethora of restaurants. My car…More »
3. Granville Island Public Market
Vancouver, BC V6H 3S3
Canada
(604) 666-6477
Categories:
Grocery,
Fruits & Veggies
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
The Boy has been talking about Macintosh apples for months and bemoaning the fact that they're in season for only a short time. He was resigned to waiting a few more months before he saw them in any stores, so you should have seen his face when he…More »
4. Granville Island Brewing
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R7
Canada
(604) 685-0504
Category:
Breweries
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
We took the tour here on our first afternoon in Vancouver. Normally it's $10 per person, but if you happen to work for Microsoft you can get a two-for-one coupon. Score!
The tour itself was short but informative, and all the more interesting when…More »
5. 7-Eleven
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1Y7
Canada
(778) 328-9880
Category:
Convenience Stores
Neighbourhood: Downtown
You might be thinking, "Why review a 7-eleven? Of all the places you went to in Vancouver, why bother with a convenience store?"
Well, I'll tell you why. They had a cash machine, fizzy lifting drinks, and grape gatorade (it took us a while to realize…More »
6. Speakeasy On Granville
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1L3
Canada
(604) 685-5531
Category:
Dive Bars
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
This might be the only pub on the planet that has a bouncer, a hostess, and a line at the door. Just by looking at it from the outside, we would have thought it was another nightclub. Inside, though, it's just like any other pub. Maybe with nicer…More »
7. Vera's Burger Shack
If you like nude meats, you should come here. And I'm not being gross, either--they advertise serving their burgers without zero toppings whatsoever. You have to ask for everything--ketchup, mayo, lettuce, on up to some crazier things like jalapenos,…More »
8. Science World
Vancouver, BC V6A 3Z7
Canada
(604) 443-7443
Category:
Amusement Parks
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
I'm going to pretend I'm not as big of a nerd as I actually am by claiming that I went here to do research for my job as a science teacher. Because, let's be real, this place was designed with kids in mind. But that doesn't mean I didn't have a hoot…More »
9. Gastown Steam Clock
Vancouver, BC V6B 1B9
Canada
Category:
Landmarks & Historical Buildings
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
Here's the thing: it's a clock. If you spend most of your day at work sitting and staring at the clock, I wouldn't go out of your way to see this one.
But since we happened to be walking by close to the hour, we hung around to see what all the…More »
