Heading to Vancouver for the Games? Here’s a full deck of places to eat and shop
With just 11 days to go, Vancouver’s ready for the Olympics (I hope, anyway), and the visitors are starting to trickle in. Of course, said visitors will be looking for things to do, see, and eat—after all, Olympic athletes are known for being fast, meaning those ticketed events will hardly take up 24 hours of one’s time! How handy, then, that the Travellers Deck (travellersdeck.com) recently landed on my desk. The set of flash cards—available in English, Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese—are colour-coded by neighbourhood, include “Canadianisms” (did you know that calling homogenized milk “homo milk” is a Canadian thing?) and offer contact info, opening hours, price ranges, and a short description of 100 businesses across Vancouver. But the part that appeals to the bargain-hunter in me is the discount that comes with each. A free cookbook from Provence Marinaside Restaurant? Twenty per cent off at Fine Finds? Free drinks at Bistrot Bistro? All for just $11.95? Amazing!
