Food Scene

This is a popular little cafe on Lonsdale. They do nice breakfasts and the most beautiful latte's around. Can be quite busy on a hot day so this is a place where you need to go with a bit of time on your hands so you can get a seat.

You know the place. It's two blocks away (17th and Lonsdale) for that early morning fix, otherwise help yourself to fresh coffee in the suite using the French press.

Nice place close by for an inexpensive but great little pizza, thin crust and fresh toppings. Family run, a very accommodating and friendly staff.

Brown's Social House is about a 10 minute walk down Lonsdale. It is a lively restaurant chain, great salads with add-on's and burgers and such. Fun atmosphere, you can't reserve but they will text you if you don't want to wait in line and you can wander down to Lower Lonsdale and poke around in the shops while you wait. There is a smaller (and older) Brown's even closer to the suite on Lonsdale and 18th.

If you like a good selection of beer and everything that goes with beer, this is your place. Big, crowded, lively, not too pricey, great for a group or table for 2. Try to get a seat on the patio on a sunny Friday when the Shipyards market is in full swing. Then take a wander around the market and experience live music, food trucks and lots of little stalls with cool stuff for sale! If you are not there on a Friday, try a wander around Lonsdale Quay first and then a bite to eat at Tap and Barrel.

Sightseeing

If you want a spectacular view of the city of Vancouver and beyond, on a clear day take the Grouse Mountain sky ride 1,250 metres to the top and spend your time hiking around and taking in the Birds of Prey show, the Logger show, see the grizzly bears who were rescued as orphaned cubs and now have a habitat on the mountain top, try zip lining, or get even higher 360 degree views of the coastal mountain wilderness to all of Vancouver and beyond from the top of the wind turbine. After your day of adventure, enjoy food and drinks on the beautiful patio of the Rusty Rail BBQ & Grill or book in advance for a table at the Peak Chalet fine dining restaurant.

Another iconic North Vancouver landmark, the Capilano Suspension bridge is a fun day out with, if you have an aversion to heights, a heart-stopping walk across a very deep gorge on a swinging bridge! You are in the middle of the forest with old growth trees and there is a treetop walk that can't be missed! Can be busy any time any day, probably less so in the evening. Still, a great day trip.
