Food Scene

This is a busy local sushi spot that has great, reasonably priced food and is within walking distance. Good for lunch and dinner. It's very casual and open late. Parking in back of restaurant or on street.

One of Vancouver's best specialty ice cream spots. Busy, trendy, interesting flavours. I prefer Mario's Gelato, two blocks North but it doesn't have the same popular vibe.

This restaurant is a short 5 minute drive away or 12 minute walk. This block on Main Street has a bunch of restaurants in a row but I like this one. This area North of Main is safe but a bit sketchy. Food is casual but refined Italian. There is a bar in the back of the restaurant if the restaurant is full. Best menu items are the Margherita pizza, the Cecci (deep fired chick pea snack with lemon) and the prosecco. Open late.

Good coffee & sandwiches in the heart of the Mount Pleasant shopping area. With many small shops and cafes in the area it's worth the 7 minute uphill walk to get there.

Drinks & Nightlife

This bar is right at the end of the block - although super hard to find. There is a building across from the auto body shop and the entrance is slightly hidden. It looks a bit sketchy down a long narrow stairwell to the basement but it's great once you get inside. Dark, sultry with drinks, bar food, record player. Good tacos.

Parks & Nature

Olympic Village is a 10 minute walk. Parking is available but difficult. You can walk on the seawall all the way to Granville Island (West) or take an Aquabus across the water to Yaletown (5-7 min ride). Olympic Village has small man-made island with beautiful views of the city. Modern gardenscape and popular for cycling. Lots of restaurants like Tap and Barrell, Terra Breads (bakery and coffee shop), Craft Beer, Flying Pig... There is a drug store, London Drugs, and Urban Fare for groceries. Urban Fare also serves good coffee and has a deli.

Arts & Culture

This is Vancouver's main art gallery. It has changing exhibits as well as an impressive permanent collection. Best kept secret: the gallery cafe is located upstairs from the lobby (or you can access outside by walking up the main concrete gallery steps off of Robson street. You do not need to have a ticket to the exhibits to lunch here and it is a great spot. Live classical or jazz music on weekends and if you are here in the summer the patio is fabulous. Casual food and refined atmosphere. Well priced.

Sightseeing

Vancouver's historic Chinatown is a short drive away. You can also walk or take transit. Some newer trendy fusion eateries have moved in but the charm and interest lies in the character of the old buildings and businesses.
