Charlies Rock's.

I mostly get movies there, but it's also got a huge music selection.

You'd think it was a dive, but they have a ton of stock and know what they're talking about.

Some good cheep electronics rounds out a good store.

We've bought a few pieces from this Gallery.
They have some really neat, 'out there' stuff that is edgy, but not too much so that it's not popular.

Expensive, but very good.

It's the first in what I hope will be a revival for businesses in the east hastings area.  They've got great food and an excellent wine list, the ambiance is nice as well, friendly but not .. you know ... too friendly :)

Ummmm.... Good Soups.

A bag of their chicken soup for anyone of my friends that are sick... instant cure and easy present that is really appreciated.

Sushi is good, not awesome but ... very good.

Lots of other stuff too including meats and other traditional super market items (for Japan I guess.. :)

We go regularly to pick up snacks between activities with the kids or to pick up an easy meal on the weekends.

Great prices on take out stuff

$2 to $4 range for most sushi rolls or other bento box items

La Casa Gelato

I'm not a fan.

The Gelato is OK, but there are several other places that are better in town (even relatively close by).

The place is super bright, ugly pink and the service is always grumpy.

Finally ... it's WAY over priced, I'd bet it's the most expensive ice cream in the country.

I live close by and I stopped going years ago, try Mario's for a quality product that is more reasonably priced, or try Dolch Amore  on commercial drive, it's got amazing Gelato.

Love this place, been going there for years.

Poutine is great, so are the regular fries with honey mustard mayo
One Large is easily enough for 2 people, order accordingly.

Most interesting menu Item?

As always the waitresses are the best part of the experience... they sure do have their hiring down.

Nice ambiance, upstairs is smaller than you'd think, but overall... a good place to grab a late lunch downtown with a great patio.
