Local artist and designer Melanie Coles has recently finished a new viral game. She has created a large scale painting of Waldo (of Where's Waldo fame) and placed it on a rooftop somewhere in Vancouver, BC. Now she's...
Next in line in our sketchy holiday nosh and nog series: Holiday Spice Hot Smoothees at Tim Hortons.
Since there are about 14 of these venerable establishments in
Kingston (Tim’s that is) it’s entirely likely that you may find
yourself near one with a hankering for a hot...
"Kingston is a lovely city to celebrate the holidays in. Usually it is dusted in snow, the bulbs are festive, the stores are decked to the hilt with holiday decor and you can practically smell the eggnog and peppermint lattes oozing out of the various coffee shops.
Mere days...
"The gloomy stretch of Bagot Street between Princess and Queen seems like a strange place to find a busy bakery like Card's. They clearly favor flavor over frill here.
The shop is basic. It doesn't look particularly nice or stylish. The food doesn't either. It does, however,...
"Do you remember that game that you used to play as a kid, 7 Minutes in Heaven? Okay, I never really played it, but I remember watching other kids make out in closets on TGIF or reruns of Blossom. Anyway, my recent facial at Diva Salon could easily steal that nomenclature....
"I tend to look at certain brands in terms of a product hierarchy. In the realm of food items, there are first the premium brand-name goods, then the stuff the Soviet communists ate, and then there’s Equality.
I’m naturally suspicious of any food that lists eggs...
"Eve’s Grocery at the corner of Clergy and Barrie creeps me out. They carry about five products, are always cooking something in a crock pot, and usually look kind of closed. All that aside, I kind of love the place.
Eve’s is a great spot to buy cheap pop. Sure...

"If you are the kind of person who likes to belt out Meatloaf tunes with your stylist or discuss Nicole Ritchie's lastest DUI, then you've come to the right place. There are lots of great spots in Kingston to get a good do and Diva is now one of them."
The Yaletown Brewing Company is an awesome, fun place. I choose these less-than-original descriptors as there is nothing particularly original about the brewing company, but it is definitely an awesome and fun place....
The Urban Buffet is on the corner of Nelson and Homer. It looks a little creepy on the outside .. this huge old building glowing with neon lights and the glare off of deep fried this and that. The lady that welcomed us at the door seemed a little 'too' inviting if you get my...
This place is a little bit hard to see from street-level as it’s on the second floor of a building on Robson. There’s pretty good signage, so once you notice the place you should only need another minute or two (if you’re like me and you suck at common sense things) to...
One of the last great theme diners in Vancouver The Tomahawk Barbeque is a native themed restaurant built in the 20s. The food is classic diner fare turned amazing!One item on the menu, the "Skookum Chief" is a...
Sophie's Cosmic Cafe in Kits is one of those places that you can't help but keep going back to. I don't live in Kits, and I'm so not a bridge and tunnel girl, but I make the commute from Yaletown routinely in order to taste the sublime diet busting grease.Sophies, which is...
We found ourselves in the mood for some good, good Chinese food as opposed to the dirty, greasy stuff one usually associates with takeout and finds equally appealing.Yes, this time around we felt like an authentic experience, and word of mouth as well as some basic internet...
