Overall Impression Every now and again you get saddled with a limited work travel budget, and while it might sound like I’m whining, I really tried to make the best of this one. On my recent business trip to Vancouver I had limited funds for hotels and needed a place to stay. I’ve seen the [...]

Turks Coffee Exchange
Vancouver is such a great coffee city and Commercial Drive is a particularly awesome place to go for a coffee. When on the Drive I seem to have two favourites these days, both at opposite ends. On the South End I prefer Prado Cafe, and on the North End I seem to frequent Turks. Turks [...]

Burgoo Lunch
I’ve been to Burgoo many times for dinner and love the hearty homestyle concept of stews and tagine dishes. I’m a big fan of the Lamb Tagine with couscous. I’d never really given Burgoo much thought for lunch, but after a morning of biking in North Van I was starving and the line-up at the [...]
Prado Cafe Vancouver
Prado Cafe on Commercial Drive is one of my new favourite coffee shops in Vancouver. In fact, maybe it’s because it feels more like the Lower East Side in Manhattan than it does like Vancouver. The cafe is set in an old brick building that probably used to be a pharmacy or other type of [...]
Vancouver Parking Meters
Parking in the city of Vancouver is always a bit of a nightmare. As a driver your options are basically to park in an overpriced lot for $6-10 per hour or $15-$40 for the day, or park on the street with tight time restrictions and a high price. If you’re lucky enough to find a [...]
Fairmont Vancouver Airport Hotel – YVR – Review
Overall Impression The Fairmont YVR is a place to stop over in between flights and rest up. It can be pricey considering, and there is more reasonably priced accomodation off-site, but if you can get a good rate, and have the chance to treat yourself, the Fairmont YVR is a little bit of luxury. My [...]
Sheraton Wall Centre Vancouver Hotel Review
Overall Impression I have stayed at the Wall Centre Vancouver more than any other hotel in the city. It is not necessarily my favourite, but it just works. The rooms are nice, the service is good, the location is super central, parking is easy, and there always seems to be a good rate. I usually [...]
Fairmont by the Glass
A recent trip to the Fairmont Pacific Rim lobby bar led me to sample the wine list and I must say they have done a nice job. There were some notable local selections on the list like the Laughing Stock Blind Trust Red from the Naramata Bench, and the Fairview Cellars Merlot from Oliver, but [...]
Cafe Giovane Fairmont Vancouver
Located in the Fairmont Pacific Rim, the Cafe Giovane is a first rate coffee shop and a great place to curl up with a book or bring your laptop. It’s a big space, but not without it’s charm, and the coffee is pretty great too. Cafe Giovane is located in the hotel directly across from [...]
