City parks don't come any better than Stanley in Vancity. It is the Central Park of the west, easily the one of the most beautiful natural regions off the Pacific. Stanley Park gives Vancouver another edge over most west coast cities, becoming a…More »

There are several Hapa Izakayas in the Vancouver area, but I've been informed this is the best of the bunch. It may not be fair that my first experience here was while hanging with one of their most celebrated VIP patrons, but it was enough for me to…More »

Recently updated lists from Jando S.

This is Nawlins (NOLA) (2)

New Orleans, a city that never surrounded to tourists, hurricanes, or broken levees, is a great place to visit any time of the year. The following are some of the best places I've enjoyed in my time in NOLA. Welcome to the Big Easy.

Cravin Cajun (Louisiana) (2)

Cajun food is done best in Louisiana, bar none. They love their food and I love eating it.

May '12 Challenge: What's in A Name? (21)

Who's name is it anyway? A collection of reviews with businesses that bear a name, like Jando's Taqueria El Chingon.

You Had Me At Halal (NYC) (2)

Many cities have food carts, but do they have a high concentration of Halal food? Likely not. This Muslim kosher friendly diet can be found for inexpensive prices all over NYC. Classics like chicken and rice, lamb gyro, lamb over rice ... getting hungry yet? Mmm.

Streets Meats & Eats (NYC) (16)

Paying in a restaurant is for decor and service, eating in the streets gets you straight to the heart of it all - the food.  Cheap, simple, and perfect for nearly all occasions rain or shine.  If Bourdain prefers meat on a stick to fine haute cuisine dining, then maybe the rest of the world is onto something.

Delicious Dives (NYC) (23)

Super clean places need not apply. Group friendly is a foreign concept. Bugs? Hear no evil, see no evil. The best, cheapest food always feature simple food. These are the places in NYC where good food can be had for very little money, in a setting not all are willing to endure.

Hangover Heaven (NYC) (11)

When feening the next morning from a night's worth of drinking, these places will have you back to normal faster than you can spell sober.

West of the Village (NYC) (3)

Some folks call it Greenwich and some might call it celebrity central, I call it the West Village.

April Review Challenge 2012: The UnderDog (28)

Sometimes you just have to write about the little guy. And by little guy, I mean places that have less than 10 reviews.

The Waiting Game (NYC) (25)

Good things come to those who wait.  Few like to do it but sometimes that is all that can be done in the quest for good food and happiness.  Read a book, practice your conversation skills, or meet new friends while at it.  In the meantime, here is a list of potential places worth enduring while earning that virtue we call "patience."
