Then I'll make my way to Chambar for some waffles and a delicious brunch. If I'm close to the seawall I can't think of a better way to spend the day than biking, running or strolling. • WHAT I MISS MOST ABOUT VANCOUVER: For me it's the food, sushi specifically. We tend to forget the abundance of restaurants, thanks to the diversity here. I love Sake Maki on Commercial Drive and noodle houses like The Ramen Butcher in Chinatown and Legendary Noodle on Denman Street. And Tavola, an Italian restaurant in the West End. • COCKTAIL: I love The Keefer Bar in Chinatown. It's an intimate, dark venue and I always feel like I'm walking into the movie version of Blade Runner when I go in there. Tableau Bistro at the Loden Hotel is off the beaten path. COURTESY TERRY CHEN, PETER JACKSON/FLICKR (OTTER), CANADIAN TOURISM COMMISSION (SAM KEE), TVA/NELSON MOUELLIC (GASSY JACK) 5 Gastown icons: For a longer stroll, head east into Gastown, pausing for selfies (use the #veryvancouver hashtag) at the Steam Clock on Water St. and the statue of John "Gassy Jack" Deighton where Water and Carrall streets converge. 6 Skinny structure: Detour to Chinatown (walk south on Carrall St. and east along Pender) to the Sam Kee Building, the world's shallowest office building, less than 1.5 metres deep. SHOP AND DINE Easygoing Vancouver melds casual coastal style with local couture and its exciting culinary scene seems to follow suit. Get your fill of both as you explore. 7 Secret Location: Backtrack from the Sam Kee Building and turn west on Water St. where you'll find this concept store. Here, shop for next- big-thing clothing brands and lifestyle items like luxury candles. 8 Waterfront Centre Shops: Find an array of stores and services that includes both a tailor and a shoe repair for quick fixes. Two names synonymous with Vancouver style are nearby: Leone, for ready-to-wear (pop into its Italian bistro downstairs for pasta and a cappuccino) and Eco Fashion Week, held every April at the Fairmont Waterfront hotel. Make your way back to the Visitor Centre or continue walking west. WILD WATERFRONT WANDER Nature lovers will be enamoured with the city's wealth of wildlife. 9 Stanley Park: Starting at the Visitor Centre, wander west (or hop on a bike) along the waterfront to Vancouver's beloved urban park, home to wild beavers and one of North America's largest colonies of Pacific great blue herons. After taking in a Theatre Under the Stars performance at Malkin Bowl, rest your legs and have a bite or beverage at Stanley's Bar and Grill in the Stanley Park Pavilion. 10 Vancouver Aquarium: Get a look at life in our coastal waters. Search for the reclusive octopus and see rescued marine mammals such as sea otters. GET THE SCOOP: Stanley Park Horse-Drawn Tours offers a narrated tour of the park's sites such as Deadman's Island and the Girl in a Wetsuit statue. to Stanley Park 10
