Oh Starbucks, I have a love-hate relationship with you.

I know some people say the coffee at Buckies is no good, but I gotta say I like my americano. My espresso machine at home, filled with some sweetass beans, makes a better cup for sure, but in the…More »

In terms of UBC food services, this one's pretty good.

Being around the corner most days of the week, I've tried everything in the area and this is the best bang for the buck. Go for the quarter chicken dinner for like $8.00. Comes with salad and…More »

I second all the stuff that Geoff B. said in the FTR, but I add a fourth star for three reasons: quality, customer service and a dash of sustainability.

I just bought a whack of Moleskines which are awesome, and they had a pretty good selection of the…More »

Good enough for a quick lunch near the office. I go for the fajita burrito in a bowl, change rice for beans, add guac and picante salsa. Tasty and healthy, fits with Crossfit diet basics "meats & veggies, nuts & seeds, some fruit, little starch, no…More »

In a somewhat obscure area of UBC campus, Bean Around the World is the best you can get. Coffee that's better than the nearby Starbucks, good, fresh sandwiches, plus beer! It can get crowded at lunch during the week, full of students with their…More »

Recently updated lists from Anthony C.

Anthony in Boston (13)

Just like the other "Anthony in (city)" lists, I spend a lot of time in Boston, and this is where I've been. You'll notice it's of the greater Boston area, not just Boston proper, with a heavy dose of Concord establishments. I lived in Concord for 15 years, and my parents still do...

The Services (11)

as in not restaurants... in Vancouver... stores either.. just services.

A Man Enjoys Tobacco (3)

Sometimes I like to enjoy a nice cigar paired with a generous pour of bourbon, scotch, or cognac, and on occasion even a cigarette. This is where I've purchased in Vancouver.

A Gastown Jaunt (22)

A tour of the local 'hood a la Antonio.

On the Finer Side (4)

Sometimes, one simply must truly dine.

On Caffeine (7)

99 times outta 100, I go for an Americano.

Anthony in Seattle (6)

Having family in the Seattle area, I go here A LOT. These are the tales of my many experiences.

Fuddy Duddy but I Like It (4)

These places are kinda kitchy in a way I normally wouldn't go for, but are redeemed for one reason or another 'cus I like them!

Anthony in Montreal (6)

My place of birth, Montreal holds a special place in my heart. Full of great everything... people, restaurants, shopping, hotels... and most of my family - I spend time in Montreal regularly, and this is where I've been.

It's Gotta be Commercial Drive (4)

Name speaks for itself!
