Food Scene

Best croissants in town! Make sure to go in the morning though; they fly off the shelves. It's a good place to start for breakfast before checking out Granville Island.

This place is best for smaller groups/dates. It's fancier than your basic sushi place in the neighborhood and very tasty.

A super delicious Cambodian restaurant in Chinatown. Make sure to try their chicken wings, butter beef, and maybe even some garlic butter frog legs.

Arts & Culture

There's lots to do on Granville Island. You can walk the seawall, checkout the iconic Granville Island Market, shop in the Netloft, or visit the many galleries and artist/craft spaces! There are always musicians and other performers busking. If you're all grown-ups, there is a distillery and a brewery. If you are with kids, there is a playground (and waterpark in the summer!) and a great kid's market.

It's an artist-run centre on Granville Island that focuses on different types of printmaking. It has a gallery and shop in the front and a studio in the back that you can get a short tour of. Definitely worth checking out if you're on Granville Island!

It's one bus ride and a short walk away from our location and has an amazing collection of First Nations art. I highly recommend visiting this place!

Drinks & Nightlife

It's the nerd bar of the neighborhood. Decent beer selection, options for non-beer drinkers, yummy food, and board games! Sometimes there are trivia nights and there is a special shot menu that involves a 20-sided die (I did say it was a nerd bar).

Parks & Nature

There's a nude-optional beach right on the UBC campus! It's a beautiful spot with a great view, but be warned that it's quite the treck to get there (so many steps) but it's a great place to spend a warm, sunny day if you don't mind being naked/being around many naked people. This is definitely a spot with a lot of character!

This place has everything! A great place to look for little gifts or things you didn't even know you needed around the house. This is one of my favorite stores in the city! BONUS: You can grab coffee and donuts at Lucky's nearby.
