Not ranked #1 restaurant in Vancouver everywhere for nothing. Wait is always an hour long during peak times, but if you have a group going (8+), call in to reserve a table. Then, order everything - and 4 of the beef luc lac.

Drinks & Nightlife

Less well known than 33 Acres, but I prefer their selection of beer (small, but thoughtful). Owners also opened up Oddity Kombucha across the street, which serves kombucha on tap.

This is one of Vancouver's most popular 'above ground' artist-run spaces. They used to be very close to the house, but have since moved to Chinatown.

Parks & Nature

By far the most inaccessible beach of them all, but so worth it. Clean waters, chill vibes, clothing-optional. There are tons of food and drink vendors down at the beach, and listen out for the roaming hawkers ;)

Essentials

The mall stuck in the '70s. No one understands how they keep affording the rent in this hood. But there's a Buy Low for groceries, a liquor store, convenience store, Shopper's, dentist, and a little stand in the middle that is the only place I've ever seen sell sugar cane juice in Vancouver. Nostalgic!
