MALL A B C D E CAMBIE ST. HOMER ST. HAMILTON ST. RECOMMENDED: l Source slick kicks and on-trend streetwear from brands like Reign- ing Champ at Livestock. l The Wing Sang Build- ing, Chinatown's oldest structure, dating back to 1889, was once home to an opium factory, then an import/export business. It's now an incredible art museum displaying condo king Bob Rennie's impres- sive collection. (Access by appointment.) l Explore the 'hood with a pro: Robert Sung leads A Wok Around Chinatown walking tours that showcase cultural and culinary history from an insider's perspective. TAPAS, ASIAN-STYLE: Torafuku owner/ chef Clement Chan serves up shared plates of Asian fusion cuisine from local ingredients in a minimalist-chic space. G astown is where Vancouver began in the 19th Century, but don't expect a museum piece under protective glass. The repeatedly reborn neighbourhood is very much of the moment, where high-end fashion boutiques abut hokey tourist traps and resident technology developers lunch on the cobblestoned patios of some of the city's best restaurants. An organic espresso from Milano will motivate you to start exploring; if you'd prefer something heartier, hit up Belgard Kitchen for brunch first. Then pick up a Herschel Supply Co. knapsack from the brand's flagship store. For dinner, Ask for Luigi serves up some of the city's best pasta, and Wildebeest's meat-forward, farm-to- table menu inspires foodie buzz. RECOMMENDED: l Get a taste of the la vie Française at the oh-so-charming Jules Bistro, where beautifully simple Gallic dishes have been wooing locals for more than a decade. l Show off your puzzle- solving skills at the Smartypantz escape room. l Feast to your heart's content at Nuba, the ridiculously accom- plished Lebanese chainlet that has cornered the market on Middle Eastern cool. l Run away to the circus for the afternoon with Tantric Fitness' Intro to Aerial Arts class. l Support your local piano man at Revel Room Supper Club, where live boogie piano accompanies "Sour Hour" most afternoons. tourismvancouver.com | 35 KENNY LOUIE/FLICKR (VANCOUVER LOOKOUT, WILDEBEEST, TVAN/NELSON MOUELLIC (BELGARD KITCHEN, CHINATOWN), JANIS NICOLAY (THE UNION), G A S T O W N C H I N A T O W N Gastown Chinatown O ne of the largest historic Chinese enclaves in North America, Vancouver's Chinatown is today in transition, with lively bars and cross-cultural eateries nestling in between traditional grocers and import shops. An oasis in the inner city, the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden is designed in the Ming Dynasty tradition, all winding path- ways, waterways and lush stands of bamboo and rhododendron. Or step inside the historic Vancou- ver Police Museum and into a world of unsolved crimes, murder mysteries and tales of the Wild West. Among more traditional Chinese fare at the likes of Floata Seafood Restaurant, find buzzy restaurants like Mamie Taylor (tastebud-popping Southern fare) and The Union (come for the báhn mì brunch menu, stay for the modern Asian-fusion cocktails). SIP: on the inventive (and highly boozy) cocktails at the moody, artfully shabby Clough Club and taste- test the tequilas hidden down the hall at the bar-within-a-bar.
