On Sunday, I got to check out the annual Pride Parade along Beach Avenue in Downtown Vancouver. This was the 7th time I attended the Pride parade, and as usual, it was quite a spectacle. There wasn’t really anything that new, and the crowd seemed to be even a bit bigger than usual (someone told me [...]
It’s that time of the year again, when people from all over the Metro Vancouver area swarm into the downtown core and Kitsilano area to feast their eyes on the most exciting fireworks show in Western Canada. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this annual fireworks competition, this is actually a musical fireworks show [...]
Out of all the many great seafood restaurants that specialize in oysters in Vancouver, one of my favorite places to go is a place in Yaletown called Rodney’s Oyster House. It’s not the easiest place to find. Located on Hamilton Street south of Davie, it has a really small sign that isn’t really outstanding if [...]
Among all the spectacular cuisines that you can enjoy in Vancouver, one of the easier things to find, and something that I have to go out and eat around once a week, is a nice bowl of ramen. There are several ramen restaurants located in the downtown area of Vancouver. I haven’t tried all of them [...]
Thanks to a stroke of luck, I was able to catch a glimpse of this year’s World Naked Bike Ride in Vancouver. I actually had no idea at all that this was going to be happening on Saturday, June 12, and I was just on my way back from getting that complete waste of money [...]
Located on the western edge of Gastown near Waterfront Station, Steamworks Brewing Company is one of the most popular restaurants in the Vancouver area, and one of my favorite places to hang out and enjoy craft beer with my friends. Steamworks Brewing Company first opened in 1995, and it gets its name from the famous [...]
In the early afternoon today, I got a message from a friend of mine, telling me that the TV series Fringe was being filmed on location on Granville Street near Smithe. So I decided to head on over there to check it out. When I got there at around 2:00 pm, I got to see [...]
When a brand new Moxie’s opened on Davie Street in 2004, few people were more excited than I was to give it a try. Well, I like to eat out a lot (some of my friends can’t believe how much I spend eating out all the time), and if I have a chance to try out [...]
The Old Spaghetti Factory in Gastown was one of the first restaurants I went to when I first came to Vancouver in 2003. I used to love going there for the old style atmosphere (is this grandma’s kitchen or a family restaurant?), and for the huge, affordable meals that left me stuffed to the max [...]
Today was my girlfriend’s birthday, and that meant it was time for me to once again find a more elegant than usual restaurant for us to have a nice, romantic dinner. We had already been to top notch places like the Bacchus, Sandbar, Carderro’s, and Cloud 9, so I thought about maybe finding a new [...]
