Haven't been back since actually. Dead whale no but Dead Frog yes!

Now that would be a surprise!

That night was very hilarious and very random. I don't think I will ever forget you sipping Crown out of your little plastic cup in my living room.

We were playing NHL 08, I think, and all I could find to drink with was some, like really small, plastic cup.

I think I was making fun of the strippers too, because that's usually what I do when I end up at the peelers.

But judging by the ridiculous and ignorant title to this thread, you might as well just stay in your hotel room during your time here.

You are to Vancouver like OilKiller is to Edmonton.

Any idea if the food is good?

We are staying at the Fairmont in Coal Harbor, so could be a cool spot to meet friends for food/drinks

Take a ferry to the island.

East Hastings. Some amazing people and amazing sites!

If you're really looking for a quality meal in Coal Harbour, then Cardero's is the way to go. Go to The Mill after for drinks on the patio ... just get there before sunset for great views.

(The food at The Mill isn't bad ... just not as good as Cardero's)

I was expecting that, wasn't really serious. I've passed through Vancouver a few time but never really got to see the city up close. I really don't mind the City. Just want to try something new when we get there.

Is that what this line is reffering to in "Fallen Leaves" by Billy Talent?

What's good for a Thursday night? Currently starting off at the Black Frog

[Methanolic]

Depending on age.

Also Depending on existance of the establishment....


When I lived in Van. ( Age: 30's ) "Graceland" was one of THE most exciting places to go!!


Other than that, durring the day, I'd go check out the old fisheries ETC.. In Steveston......and the Beach in White Rock kicks A$$ over the one in Kits!!

Ended up at the roxy, yikes work should be fun tomorrow

I had the pizza at The Mill. It was glorified Delissio pizza. Wasn't very good at all actually. Just go there for drinks and appetizers and enjoy the view.

Depending on when you come, check out the fireworks on English Bay - unless you did last night. If not there's some on Saturday.. but it gets super crowded.

Thanks tips but that might explain why I put "best place"

Grouse Grind!
Capilano Suspension Bridge
Downtown Vancouver in general
Butchart Gardens (Victoria)

The Mill is good for appies and drinks. Not much more. If you haven't been down Robson or Granville yet, those are both well worth your time.

I'd head to the beach early tonight if you are going to the fireworks, as it does get crowded.

[flames_1987]

No competition for the best pizza in Vancouver...Uncle Fatih's on Broadway and Commercial. Always packed and the best slice you'll get
