Lynn Canyon has a pretty sweet suspension bridge too, and has good hiking trails. It's not as big as Capilano Bridge but it's free and not full of Japanese tourists. But don't go jumping in to the rapids like some drunk rebellious teen.....that shit will trap you and you'll die.

Also if you're out that way Deep Cove is a sweet little town to drink in. Enjoy the locals gawking at you while you get beligerently drunk!

Vancouver's on Google Maps street view now! It's like I can go back to pigeon park and scour the streets for heroin without all the hassle!

IE: Hipsters drinking Pabst and DJ's putting Itunes on shuffle.

I don't know how long you're there for but Wineo's on Granville and Nelson sells $6 pitchers on Tuesdays. It's a pretty cool little joint and has a secret back room behind a bookshelf. I think it's cool anyway.

ALSO, the Templeton for brunch. Or the Diner in Point Grey for an authentic full English!

I don't know why I'm still giving suggestions I don't live there anymore...

Reuben Kinkaid · (#86)

On closer inspection I see you're there for 3 days. What kind of crappy vacation is that?

(#87)

portland for 3 vancouver for three...then we gotta go back to work. ya know, money runs out on vacations and shit.

thanks everyone for the suggestions. i really appreciate it. this place is awesome. we would consider moving here if we had an opportunity.

going to get poutine / rodney's oyster house / chinatown / gastown? (SP?) / east hastings

possibly blastrap if we are feeling up to it. if not...some random cheap car will do. the cambie i suppose?

dowmagik · (#88)

ill be in portland on saturday. you gonna be around, fiddy?

HydrogenPeroxide · (#89)

there's a bunch of bars in Gastown. I recommend you go to Steamworks Brew Pub for a pint of the pumpkin ale if you're kicking around there in the afternoon. I'm going there for lunch to pound a few back.

I can fully endorse wino's on tuesdays. its cheap as it gets on the strip, and its a small spot so its usually PACKED. they also have decent finger food as well, you can order a ton of stuff for next to nothing.
in addition to the fake bookshelf thing, they also have the dj up in this cramped little loft. it has a bucket on a rope so they can send up beer to him.

Are you finding enough places with foie gras to hold you over, or did you bring some with you?

Heh, me and Reuben were there and a waitress said that they had to close it down because the DJ fell from there one night.
