I love Gastown, it’s true.


I’ll say it: It’s my hood.

  • I love its historical, old-world charm by day.
  • I love its eclectic grog scene by night, ranging from easy gastropubs, hidden cocktail gems, seedy pubs, to even absinthe at a bistro.
  • I love its cobblestone alleyways that often trip me as I migrate from one establishment to the next.

This neighbourhood is the closest thing to Europe in young Vancouver… but it’s just not close enough.

So I’m going to Europe, it’s true.





On the itinerary: Paris, Marseilles, Florence, Venice, Barcelona, and other little towns en route. I’m incredibly excited!

I’d love your contribution while I’m away!

EDIT: I have my bloggers lined up! Thank you for your participation and please look forward to some wonderful recipes soon!
