Used, Vintage & Consignment,
Accessories,
Women's Clothing

Whenever I'm in the mid-Main neighbourhood, I have to stop here. Why? Because they have the most wonderful, random selection of almost everything a gal could ever want. Robot necklaces? Check. Vintage Alexander McQueen? Check. Flask with an old-timey…More »

Categories:
Optometrists,
Eyewear & Opticians

I booked an appointment at the Mount Pleasant Optometry Centre to get my eyes tested due to all the positive Yelp reviews, and they didn't disappoint. I saw Dr. Koh, and she was very personable and informative. She ran me through a gauntlet of…More »
4. East Vanity Parlour
Oh, how I love East Vanity Parlour. Let's see, they have awesome, talented hairstylists who I (not so) secretly wish would be my friends, their prices are the absolute best in town, the parlour itself has a quirky, kitchy aesthetic that appeals to…More »

This is truly a rad little hair parlour. I visited the shop almost a year ago when my hair was first… Read more »
5. Umeboshi Footwear
Oh, such pretty pretty shoes! I especially love the smell of leather as soon as you open the door to this quaint Main St. shop. They have a nice selection of shoes for the gals, but I found their mens section to be particularly stunning.

Vancouver, BC V5T 1J7
(604) 874-4687
Categories:
Bars,
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
What's not to love about the Whip? They serve up delicious comfort food (the cod on the kaiser roll is fab), they have a great selection of micro-brews on tap, the waitstaff is friendly, they support local artists, and, being located in an old brick…More »
7. Electric Owl Social Club

(604) 558-0928
Categories:
Music Venues,
Bars,
Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhood: Strathcona
I have lived in Vancouver for most of my life, and in the past few years I've noticed that this city has really started to flourish. It's no longer just "beautiful;" it's becoming "cool." A HUGE part of this is due to the creative-thinking,…More »
8. The Hach
Vancouver, BC V5V 1A5
(604) 566-9611
Category:
Cards & Stationery
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
Sometimes it's amazing what you find when you turn off the beaten path. In this case, the beaten path is Main street, and turning off of it means walking fifteen paces. (I'm SUCH an explorer, right?)
For fans of quirky stationery such as myself, the…More »
9. Budgies Burritos
Vancouver, BC V5T 3H9
(604) 874-5408
Categories:
Vegetarian,
Mexican
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
I'm not a vegetarian, but I loves me vegetarian restaurants. You know why? The chefs need to use a little creativity in order to make interesting, flavourful dishes that entice veggies and non-veggies alike. Budgies Burritos does just that, and with…More »
10. Pleasant Beans Coffee House
Pleasant Beans is a pleasant coffee shop in Mount Pleasant. (hee hee... I really wanted to write that. Just give me this one, mmkay?)
Now that I've gotten THAT out of the way:
I visited Pleasant Beans for the first time when I showed up a bit too…More »

Categories:
Caterers,
Caribbean,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
If you can't glean any other helpful information from my review, at least know this: those big bottles of sauce they put on each table are effin' HOT! Tasty, but Johnny Cash "I fell into a burning ring of fire" hot. I say this as a gal who can handle…More »
12. Sweet Revenge
Hoo-ee! Nothing brings out the fat kid in me like a speciality dessert place. If ever I were to utter the phrase "one of everything, please" it would be at an establishment such as this.
Sweet Revenge is a teeny tiny dessert shop in the mid-Main area…More »
13. Three Bags Full
So, I'm going to come out and admit it: I made fun of my friends who are knitters for years. I've made every grandma joke you can think of, I'm not gonna lie. This being the case, it is with a great sense of validation for my friends that I have now…More »
14. Frocks Modern Bridesmaids
Vancouver, BC V5V 3P2
(604) 738-8622
Categories:
Women's Clothing,
Bridal
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
So we've all been there before: you're asked to be a bridesmaid for your friend's wedding (the honour!), but you later find yourself walking down the aisle in some periwinkle monstrosity with a flower growing out of your butt (the horror!). What's…More »

Categories:
Canadian (New),
Tapas/Small Plates,
Pizza
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
I *love* Eight 1/2 restaurant, and here's a few reasons why:
1. It's in a great location on East 8th Ave, just a hop, skip and a jump from Main St.
2. It's in a the basement of a beautiful old home, complete with wooden beams and an intimate setting.

17. Mali Thai Restaurant
There are four words which perfectly describe how I discovered and subsequently fell in love with Mali Thai: debit at the door.
It was a blustery Friday night, my pantry was bare and I had no desire to leave my house to obtain either cash, groceries…More »
18. The Five Point
Vancouver, BC V5T 3G7
(604) 876-5810
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Tapas Bars
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
I don't know exactly what it is about the Five Point, but it just doesn't quite do it for me. I mean, they've got Guinness on tap and they make delicious Black & Tans -that should be enough to win my affection, right? Sadly, it seems I'm slightly…More »

East is East, where have you been my whole life? And why haven't I indulged in your spicy, delicious chais before now?
