We used to end up at Joe’s Grill on 4th out of desperation. The lineup at Sophies was halfway down the block and the servers at Hell’s Kitchen were too surly or stoned to know that it was opening time. Sheer laziness often prevented us from venturing much further and we’d wander on into Joe’s.

A&W at Broadway & Commercial
Published by June 25th, 2007 in Avoid At All Costs, Cheap and Chain Restaurants. 0 CommentsI’ve never been a particularly big fan of A&W. Their heartwarming commercials make me want to choke on my own Papa Burger vomit and their chicken burgers always taste somewhat raw. However, those frosted mugs filled to the brim with creamy, icy, rootbeer usually make it worth the risk of ecoli.
There are ample A&Ws in […]

Scotiabank Theatre Food Court
Published by June 24th, 2007 in Food Courts, Chain Restaurants and Downtown. 2 CommentsThe main reason I like going to see a show a the Scotiabank Theatre is because of the food. While most theatres have the usual selection of processed cheese soaked nachos and xxl boxes of junior mints, this location serves up fro yo, burritos, burgers, and even bubble tea. I’m certain it’s the lighting or […]

What can I say? One Starbucks is like every other? No, not actually. While the general branding is the same, the layout of most Starbucks locations seems to vary - and the one at the heart of Yaletown is simply great.
Yaletown is host to a number of Starbucks shops, and they are very, very good. […]

Yaletown Brewing Company
Published by June 24th, 2007 in Great Beer on Tap, Yaletown and Stellar Patios. 2 CommentsThe Yaletown Brewing Company is an awesome, fun place. I choose these less-than-original descriptors as there is nothing particularly original about the brewing company, but it is definitely an awesome and fun place. It’s loud and friendly – you might say boisterous- the beer is great and it pairs well with the food. There is […]

Urban Buffet
Published by June 24th, 2007 in All You Can Eat, Japanese Food, Chinese Food, Yaletown and Ethnic Food. 0 CommentsThe Urban Buffet is on the corner of Nelson and Homer. It looks a little creepy on the outside .. this huge old building glowing with neon lights and the glare off of deep fried this and that. The lady that welcomed us at the door seemed a little ‘too’ inviting if you get my […]

This place is a little bit hard to see from street-level as it’s on the second floor of a building on Robson. There’s pretty good signage, so once you notice the place you should only need another minute or two (if you’re like me and you suck at common sense things) to find the stairwell […]

Sophie’s Cosmic Cafe
Published by June 24th, 2007 in Kitsilano, Diners and Breakfast Haunts. 1 CommentSophie’s Cosmic Cafe in Kits is one of those places that you can’t help but keep going back to. I don’t live in Kits, and I’m so not a bridge and tunnel girl, but I make the commute from Yaletown routinely in order to taste the sublime diet busting grease. Go Sophies!
Sophies, which is located […]

We found ourselves in the mood for some good, good Chinese food as opposed to the dirty, greasy stuff one usually associates with takeout and finds equally appealing.
Yes, this time around we felt like an authentic experience, and word of mouth as well as some basic internet research brought The Pink Pearl to our attention. […]
