Default Vancouver, is there anything there worth my time

So I am headed to Victoria for a few days but stopping in Vancouver for a couple days. Are the any little gems of a place worth looking up? I know there are a few places in Victoria I was told I have to try (Blue fox, Bard and Banker, fish shack by the docks) but for Vancouver I got nothing.

You can stop by the Penthouse and see if Ben is still snorting lines off a peeler.

Stanley Park, Robson/Granville downtown, Granville Island, Mini tug boat rides through False Creek, Capilano Suspension Bridge, Kits Beach. Also, tons of great sushi restaurants all through downtown.

Amazing city just a loser hockey team.

Blue Fox sucks balls. Go to John's Place (better) or Shine Cafe (best) for good breakfast food. I also don't get the hype surrounding the Bard and Banker.

Great view along Robson Street downtown. All the Canucks' Stanley Cup banners are hanging in front of the flagship public library. Beautiful, breathtaking sight. Brings a tear to my eye every time.

Also, you can't miss the gridlock traffic on the PortMan Bridge. Really worth the time.

Lots of shopping on Robson st

I agree with these and the world class Sushi and Chinese Food

Granville Island

Capilano Suspension Bridge

I've also heard from a NHL player that there are amazing massage places with unbelievable girls, and he is from LA !

Kits beach if the weathers nice

Walk along the SeaWall in downtown Vancouver

Pitch and putt by Stanley Park

Granville Island market, brewery and shopping

Commercial Drive is my favourite spot in Vancouver, a ton of different ethnic restaurants and great little pubs.

Like it was said above, Vancouver is an amazing city, just with an awful hockey team.
