Bump N Grind Cafe had a second baby and I was invited to the baby shower! It was actually a grand opening media event for their brand new South Granville location and I was extended an invite to try their goodies and have a one-night only signature drink. This is the second location for husband and […]
Update: This restaurant has closed. Abigail’s Party is a restaurant that’s offering a $28 Dine Out menu this year. They’ve always been a restaurant I’ve wanted to try, but in previous years, their dine out menu didn’t entice me at all. This year though, for some reason, their simple offerings of steak frites and fried […]
I’ll be honest with you. Wildebeest was not on my list of restaurants to try after looking at the menu. The only thing that looked remotely interesting to me was the Bison Carpaccio. But I DID tell Fannypack to pick the restaurants and for once she did! So I bit my tongue and went with […]
Another year, another Dine Out Vancouver! This year I’ve decided to stay with the $28-$38 range of restaurants as I think those give you the best value for your money. The first one for me this year is Shaughnessy Restaurant located at the Van Dusen Gardens. I’m all for exotic game meats, so when I […]
With the cooler weather we’ve been having lately, there was no better time to visit Burgoo. I’ve never been before but had always heard good things, so I was excited to give them a try. Burgoo doesn’t take reservations. We arrived at around 7:30pm and the place was pretty packed. There were people waiting outside. […]
Update: This restaurant has closed. It was Awkward Diner’s champagne birthday, so to celebrate we all went for dinner at The Blacktail Florist in Gastown. It was actually an awkward restaurant to find, as they didn’t really have a large sign at all. I only found it by following a sandwich board upstairs. Once inside […]
Fannypack and I have been running for around 10 weeks now and somewhere along the lines, we decided that we needed a goal. So to have something to show for our 10 weeks of training, her and I registered for the 5K portion of the Night Race 2014! The race happened last Friday at Stanley […]
I was extended an invitation by the Socialettes (a local all-women’s PR company) to attend the first ever Xpocity Vancouver event, held at the swanky Four Seasons Ballroom Vancouver. Xpocity Vancouver was described as a “social shopping” experience that combines a ladies evening out with product sampling and shopping. Sounds like a superb girls night […]
I’ve heard about JJ Bean from GRock a while ago, and I didn’t really know what the fuss was. More googling however got me intrigued about their mocha, as it seems like they make the best one in town. My first visit was to the Main Street location, I didn’t try their mocha, as I […]
One of my running days with Fannypack is on Sundays. It just so happens that every Sunday, there’s a Food Cart Fest Vancouver held at the Olympic Village. So naturally we made plans to go after our weekly Sunday morning run. It costs $2 to enter unless you’re a certain demographic (Vancity member or food […]
