1. Narrow Lounge
A secret spot within a secret spot, behind a secret spot. Whoaaaa-- mind exploding!
Oh Narrow, how you're so awesomely clever.
If discovering a bar tucked behind an art gallery wasn't enough, Narrow upped the anti with their retro-fabulous tiki bar…More »
2. The Cellar Jazz Club
Had a gorgeous time at this hidden hole in the wall. Located downstairs below the street, it was an exciting little gem to discover. The musicians were incredible (I could NOT stop watching the piano player & upright bass players... they were on…More »

Atmosphere--- FABULOUS. Eco-modern, classy, hip- you get the idea. For being in Steveston, the style definitely stands out, and that's what drew us there as we walked by.
We had dessert ($6 for each, very tasty, nice presentation. The tirimasu…More »

I had a special date here with my sister yesterday and we had so much fun. The first thing that impressed me was of course, the decor. Modern, vintage, clean... a great mix of styles. The staff-- two sweethearts who were so…More »
5. JJ's Fine Dining
This place rocks.
Great value, fantastic menu options, high quality foods, beautiful presentations, and oh-so-adorable service.
Though the food is delicious, it's not even my favourite part. My most memorable part of the experience here is the…More »

(604) 876-8888
Category:
Cosmetics & Beauty Supply
Neighbourhood: Kensington-Cedar Cottage
This is a random little storefront on Kingsway near Clark that has remained under my radar for a long time. Finally venturing in to this establishment I discovered a pretty big store! It's filled with aesthetics supplies (massage chairs, nail dryers,…More »
7. Cliffhanger Climbing
I hate exercise. It's boring. It's painful. I don't do it. Imagine my surprise when I discovered a way to build muscle while having fun. Saweeeeet!
So last night was my second time visiting Cliffhanger in RIchmond. Being a newbie to climbing, I don't…More »
8. JJ Family Spa Plus
Having lived in Korea for awhile I am a HUGE fan of Korean spas, or 'jimjibangs'. When venturing to the city of Seoul for the weekend, these serve as the ultimate hostel, spa, pajama party, games room, karaoke lounge and restaurant all rolled into…More »

Just what the doctor ordered.
After a busy weekend the bf and I decided to kick back at this lovely little house-to-resto renno. Cozy, low-lit, with tasteful use of whites. I totally unwound... and let out my inner grade 8 self by writing Ty a note on…More »
10. China National Arts & Crafts Imports
Vancouver, BC V6A 1R8
(604) 251-2554
Category:
Arts & Crafts
Neighbourhood: Downtown Eastside
China Imports carries my favourite handmade gem in Vancouver: a GIANT incredibly detailed jade ship carved by hand. Why it's hidden at the back I'm not sure (safety? Too big to steal!), but it gives me tingles every time I see it. Such a massive…More »
11. Wang's Shanghai Cuisine - CLOSED
XLB as fast food? Hook that business up. I came here at about 7pm, the cafeteria was mostly dead. Awesome for me! I started my journey off at the infamous Wang's, and boy did Wang not disappoint. Now I'm not saying that the juice was the greatest XLB…More »

Toy Stores

Yippe ya yay, a secret stash of super cheap stuff! Coming here is like coming to a top secret mafia hideout, minus the cigarette smoke and duffel bags. Not that I would know...

13. The Diamond
Vancouver, BC V6A 1E7
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Lounges
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
If you love secret little spaces, The Diamond will make you swoon. Though not such a secret with locals in the know, the fact that one could possibly walk past it hundreds of times without knowing it's there makes it oh-so special.
Walk through a…More »

Category:
Pubs
Neighbourhood: Kensington-Cedar Cottage
The Cedar Cottage Pub is a cozy watering hole in the Kensington Cedar Cottage, and by hole, I don't mean hole-in-the-wall, but hole in the ground! It's below street level on Kingsway. Pretty cool little place to venture down into. Wear your flats,…More »

Whoa. If you've ever been curious to try on a corset, do it and do it here. From the moment they placed that red satin miracle around my hips I was smitten. They transformed me from a frumpy crazy cat lady (sans the cats) into an curvaceous vixen.…More »
