1. UYE--Live Jazz Brunch and Mini Tour of Historic Fells Point
Oh! My! God! This was the best UYE ever and I am so honoured that Noralyn, Jamie, Kit, and Rob helped organized this to show me the best of Balmer! Honestly, this was the highlight of my trip and I might even go as far as saying it's one of my best…More »
2. Yelp Presents A Carnival Wonderland @ Ayden Gallery
Every time I think crystal has done an amazing job, she goes and outdoes herself! I can't pick a fave. All of it was amazing. The gallery, photo booth, snow cones, sangria fountain, chocolates, popcorn, Wallflower food, custard, facepainting and…More »

Category:
Local Flavour
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
OH EM GEE! Were those pisco sours to die for! I had a blast at this event, even though I arrived late and totally missed the tango lessons. I loved the end where we all had a dance off and a cat walk-off. I always wanted to be a part of America's…More »
4. Living La Voya Local Yelp Party
This was definitely one of the best of the Elite events so far.. and it wasn't even completely an Elite event!!
First, when I walked in, Crystal told me to get my lashes done by Wink. My response was, "I'm Indian. Do I really need more lashes?"…More »
5. Elite Event @ Café Nuba
Awesome event! Crystal has done it again! The One Love cocktails were amazing. A bit strong at first, but after a few sips you get used to it. I'm actually not the biggest fan of Schramm vodka, but in this cocktail it actually worked well.
The best…More »
6. Elite Event @ Chaise Lounge
This event was sooooo much fun!!! My +1/2's had so much fun!
What every one else said about food and drinks... Drinks were a bit strong, but after the first one you get used to it. LOL My favorite foods were the lobster sandwiches, mac n' cheese…More »

8. UYE Book Swap
It's so amazing what you can learn from other people! Thanks so much Kat for teaching me how to knit! I have always wanted to learn how. And now I can't stop thinking about it.

Vancouver, BC V5T 1W5
(604) 872-3166
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Vegetarian
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Any place that does a "pay what you can" style dish is awesome by my books. Although, I didn't order their pay-what-you-can lentil soup, I was really impressed that they would do this. I ordered their soup of the moment which was a corn and…More »
10. CMYE Hiking Series
What a great way to go explore more of Vancouver's natural scene! Thanks Crystal for organizing. The up hill wasn't actually all that challenging.. it was more a problem of having low energy. But hiking is a good mood-lifter. And yay Yelp for…More »

Vancouver, BC V6A 1R8
(604) 255-4218
Category:
Local Flavour
Neighbourhood: Downtown Eastside
At the beginning of the evening I was all ready to give this 3 stars because our service was a bit "snarky" as Katie F. put it. I am sure that I confirmed with Andy (the owner?) that the reservation was for 7pm and I originally told him around 5…More »

Local Flavour
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Success!! It was so great to see so many people out to this. And since it was pretty empty at the Shark Club, Yelp was running the show. And not to toot our own horns or anything, but I think we have some strong contenders for Canadian idol.
Minus a…More »
16. Elite Event @ Vancouver Police Museum
I wouldn't have missed this event for the world. In fact, I literally landed 2 hours before the event, changed at the airport and headed straight to the VPM! And my efforts were not in vain. I had so much fun playing fantan and scavenging clams. It…More »
17. Elite Event On The Party Bus
It's been a long while since I've done a lot of things that Yelp gets me to do, including waterfights, vodka shots and pole dancing. ;-)
The water fight itself was awesome! I didn't get a single water balloon though. It was fun being on a party…More »
18. Yelping Pirate Paks CMYE @ White Spot
Awesome event, as most Yelp events are! I would have had a lot more fun if I wasn't coming down with a cold in the process...

Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
I came here for a friend's birthday who, on my recommendation, chose the restaurant. I like r.tl. The menu is pretty good and their cocktails selection is fantastic. I had the mushroom and gruyere ravioli. It was nice, but a little too salty.

22. UYE - Crystal H's Birthday Bash
This night went so smoothly and that's due largely to collaboration with Nuba, Honey Lounge, and other yelpers! (On a side note, this goes to show that one can pull off fantastic events with people helping on your side!)
A big thanks to Nuba …More »
23. Lotus Hotel
I had to save an awesome experience for my 500th review!
If anyone knows me, they know I love to dance but I hate clubbing in Vancouver because of the long line ups (3 hours? even being on the guest list!), the extreme pretentiousness, paying lots of…More »
24. Elite Event @ Mis Trucos
Great event! I think I'm the only one who wore the poncho, aside from Crystal H. who got sprayed with bubbly. But it was worth it because I think I would have gotten my whites all dirty from the paints, awesome sangria, and the Red Truck Blueberry…More »

Health and Medical
Neighbourhoods: Shaughnessy, South Cambie
Also a first time donor, and I was totally freaking out in that chair but trying not to show it (don't think I did the best job though, since they kept asking if I was okay). I really don't like to see the needle and all that stuff in me so once…More »

A sports bar with chic food? Yeah I'm in! The menu had so much goodness on there it was hard not to indulge in a second dinner after the Yelp party!
I shared the calamari and the panna cotta. The calamari was definitely one of the best I've had…More »
28. Elite Event: Mathletes vs. Athletes!

I'm happy everyone else got to successfully donate! But, it was a bummer that my veins weren't pumping well this morning. Actually, I think the phlebotomist hit something she shouldn't have, and ended up poking me around and I got a huge bruise. But…More »

Awesome possum!! This one was a cinch to organize! I didn't even need to make a reservation because the venue was huge (I called to make one but she was like, "don't bother"). All I did was follow the "If you post it, they will come" philosophy. And…More »
