Restaurant La Salle à Manger
Montreal’s artsy Plateau district is never at a loss for things to do, see and eat. If you’re looking for a break from Fashion Week, there are two hot spots currently lighting up the nocturnal scene on the neighborhood’s main thoroughfare. Read more »

The bar at Market by Jean-Georges in Vancouver
Ashleigh Dempster and Amanda Blakley call themselves cultural curators. Their club, The Society (thesocietyglobal.com), hosts high- and low-arty happenings in Toronto, L.A. and New York (and on March 25, Miami!)—from literary salons to graffiti tours and the always hotly-anticipated S.M.U.T. Soiree—so we can think of no better pair to write our new feature, The Culture Club. Every Thursday, they’ll be bringing you a weekly list of six culture picks for Toronto (and beyond)—everything from the best airplane reads to late-night eats to the top gallerists.
First up (and early this week): The top 6 places to get a cold beer in Vancouver during the Olympics.
The Shore Club (688 Dunsmuir St., 604-899-4400). We love the dark woods, California blinds and subdued interior. It’s also a stone’s throw from Holt Renfrew. Sit at the bar and order a Rickard’s White– refreshing after shopping til you drop in the Pacific Centre. Read more »

It’s a no-brainer that ceremonies, celebrations and cocktails belong together, and there’s no better place downtown to get a little boozy than at YEW Restaurant + Bar at the Four Seasons Hotel (791 W. Georgia St., 604-689-9333, fourseasons.com/vancouver). A new Olympics-themed menu includes a meant-to-be-shared, one-pound of beef burger (plus fixings) and an Olympic Salad made with rings of grilled squid, anelli pasta, radish, leeks, and crispy shallots, all best supplemented by equally-festive cocktail concoctions.

As a fashion editor, it’s not everyday that I get to enjoy a foodie event. But with such a lively and burgeoning dining scene, Vancouver’s fashion and food industries are most definitely linked (just ask a few of the city’s stylish couples!). So when I received an invitation to a hands-on Contemporary West Coast workshop at the brand new Dirty Apron Cooking School (540 Beatty St., Vancouver, 604-879-8588, dirtyapron.com), opened by former Chambar sous-chef David Robertson and Karri and Nico Schuermans of Chambar and Medina, I jumped at the chance.
Click the images below to see how I fared in the kitchen. Then, check out FASHION‘s picks for Vancouver’s best restaurants.

I just got back from a holiday, and somehow while I was away, it seems that a 61-storey skyscraper popped up out of nowhere into Vancouver’s skyline. Of course I’m joking—the new Living Shangri-La (1128 W. Georgia St., 604-689-1120, shangri-la.com) has been a long time coming. Vancouverites have slowly watched the building climb higher and higher over the last few months, becoming the tallest building our fair city has to offer.
