Tristesse’s favourite places around the city
Eastside Culture Crawl
Fun for the adults and the kids. This is Vancouver’s biggest art, design and crafts festival that happens in multiple venues all over the east side every November.
November 17-20, 2016, various East Vancouver locations
Vancouver Folk Music Festival
Amazing for the whole family. Plan to be there all day and listen to music, eat and people watch – so fun!
Jericho Beach Park, Vancouver
Samurai Sushi
My family and I love Samurai Sushi on Davie Street. Huge portions and really reasonably priced.
1108 Davie Street, Vancouver
Japadog
Ain’t nobody in my family going to say no to a Japadog!
Stands, trucks & restaurant at 530 Robson St, Vancouver, (604) 569-1158
Seawall
I live in False Creek in a co-op and we use the seawall both for transportation and adventure. It is a great way to learn the rules of the road, without cars, and to get around the city.
All around the city, Vancouver
VanDusen Botanical Gardens
Fantastic any time of year but of course amazing for the Festival of Lights in December. We love the maze.
5251 Oak Street, Vancouver
Iona Beach Regional Park
I love walking the long deserted beach at Iona near the airport because you can plane-spot and have a beautiful beach experience at the same time.
Ferguson Road, Richmond
