crabs

October 19, 2010 by catchingyoureye

A patch of grass in the middle of railway tracks and in the heart of Gastown sounds a bit made up and highly unlikely.  It is real though and worth visiting.  It’s called Crab Park and has waterfront views.

If you take a walk through Gastown head to Alexander Street until you hit Main Street.  Then go over and around the railway tracks and you’ll find it.
Make sure you bring your camera and remember at times it’s full of colorful characters.

museums

July 14, 2010 by catchingyoureye

The new Beaty Biodiversity Museum just opened up at UBC and will feature a ton of cool, must see exhibits.

They have an amazing 26 metre blue whale skeleton suspended in the middle of the Museum, if that doesn’t make you want to visit I don’t know what will.

The atmosphere is fun, exciting and really bright (thanks to all the massive windows).  It is filled with knowledgeable volunteers and tons of information.

The Museum is a short walk from UBC bus loops and is worth the trip.

I have to  say it, I adore  Obakki
Designed in Vancouver & made in Vancouver.  A place to stop on my list.
They carry unique, classy and staple pieces for gentlemen and ladies.

Oh, and I have a little secret…Obakki has end of season sales with unbelievable markdowns.
Just don’t tell anyone.

trees

Trees Organic Coffee combines a European flare with a laid back attitude.
It’s located in Gastown just a few steps away from the steam clock.

They serve up their own 100% organic & fair trade coffee beans and have a selection of vegan treats, sandwiches and more.

There are 3 locations in Vancouver.  I recently visited the Gastown location and it was great.

cute market

March 1, 2010 by catchingyoureye

The White Fish Market is not a market-market, it’s more like a gourmet market with a lot of style.
It is located right beside the Vancouver Police Station, just a short walk from the Canada line (Olympic Village stop).
Inside you will find everything from fancy gift baskets, yummy sauces and the best chocolate.
