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 […]
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 […]
To promote the upcoming 7th annual Canadian Cheese Rolling Festival happening this Saturday August 16 at Whistler Blackcomb, the Dairy Farmers of Canada has invited some media to a special cheesy luncheon held at Forage. The Cheese Rolling Festival is an annual family event that features costume contests, cheese tastings, and of the main spectacle […]
Update: This restaurant has closed. To wrap up our coverage of this year’s Tastes of Latin America festival, we bring you a long overdue review of Poncho’s Mexican Restaurant. Poncho’s is Vancouver’s second-longest running Mexican restaurant, and they are the longest-running if you base it on never having moved locations. They’ve been at the West […]
The “Tastes of Latin America” festival in Vancouver has started! This event will take place from June 28th to July 6th, and is part of the Carnaval del Sol that’s going to take place in downtown Granville Street on July 5-6th this year. A few Vancouver restaurants are offering specially priced menus during this event, […]
3 days. 15 hours. Hundreds of booths, stages, and events. This was our experience at EAT! Vancouver 2014: If you haven’t been to EAT! Vancouver—you should go!—it is the ultimate consumer food show. Wander the aisles with your fellow foodies grazing on samples, stuffing your bags with bargain priced fine foods, and schmoozing with celebrity […]
Ever dreamt of browsing the racks of a grocery store and being able to just pull whatever you like off the shelf to try? I have, and therefore I was supremely stoked to get an invite to Grocery Showcase West 2014. Livin’ the dream! Grocery Showcase West is an annual trade show held by the […]
Update: This restaurant is closed. ORU at the Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel was the last stop for Dine Out Vancouver 2014. It coincided with Pretty Sis’ visit so it worked out perfectly as a venue for some much-needed and long overdue sister-talk. I’d never been to ORU before and I was very, very pleasantly surprised […]
OMG! 4 down 1 to go!! It’s nearing the end of my DOVF dash. I must say it’s been going good so far. I met up with GRock and LockerBud who I’ve known for 23 years. LockerBud and I go way back. Like waaaaaay back. We lived across from each other when we were young […]
For my third DOVF event this year, Hitman and I were invited by Sharon of Eat, Drink, Travel to join her at Ask for Luigi. Theirs is the $28 menu. I was especially excited to try their homemade pasta. It was very very small in there, and only had one bathroom. Good thing we made […]
