Places I have been to in the great cities of Vancouver and Whistler.

 1. Mongolie Grill

Whistler, BC V0N 1B4
Canada
(604) 938-9416
4.0 star rating
  8/15/2008 First to Review

One of the few quality restaurants in the village.  It's typical mongolian BBQ, where you go through the line and pile up your plate, then at the end, they cook it for you.  It's a bit gimmicky, but fun, and cool that you get to pick what and how…More »

 2. The Westin Resort & Spa, Whistler

The rooms are cool because they are little mini-suites.  You basically have a full kitchen, a living room, bedroom and nice bathroom with a shower and a nice, big tub.  

However, the bed kind of sucks.  Which is weird, because aren't the Westin beds…More »

Food is whatever.  Until they give you a hamburger instead of a turkey burger, when you don't eat beef.  Gross.

Service is whatever.  Most nights they have a masseuse walking around working, which can be cool.  

It's like a western style TGI Friday's.…More »

3.0 star rating

I don't know much about the gay scene in Vancouver, but Pumpjack seems pretty hardcore.  Leather, chaps and asses galore!  Yeehaw!  It kind of reminds me of a dungeon, where are the knights?  

If you don't know where you are going or what you are…More »

"You can't beat Vera's meat".  Now that's a catchphrase I can get behind, for various reasons...One being that it just might be true.  

We were so psyched to eat here, we walked all the way in the rain and didn't even care.  My friend C, and I were so…More »

Got my nostril re-pierced here in December 2006 on a business trip.  Haha, sounds funny...but yes, it's true.  Anyway, the shop is extremely clean and the employees are very professional.  My piercer, a young man, had great bedside manner and was a…More »

I don't know how the Keg is seen through the eyes of a native, but this bar is a haven for me and my friends when we come to Vancouver for a conference every December.  Right around the corner from our hotel, which is awesome, because after a long…More »

5.0 star rating

I am not sure if this place is the one that I am trying to review, but the address  matches.  The review is for Cioppino's Enoteca, which is a fancy schmancy Italian restuarant in Yaletown.  

The only reason I get to eat here is because someone else…More »

I don't know if it is every night, but they have all you can eat for around $20.  I don't really like sushi, but my other BC travelers do, so they are all for Tanpopo.  I love the rumaki and gyoza (they have shrimp and veggie kinds).  I just order…More »

The Boulevard of Dreams (10)

In our continued attempt to visit every bar in PB by the start of summer, we embark on PB pub crawl #2.  Another ten bars, in roughly 6 hours.  Lots of beer, dirty talk, memory gaps, learning experiences...the usual.  Please enjoy!
