If you need to get pizza by the slice or delivery to the house, Pizza Garden is the sweet spot of a boutique pizza shop that got so popular with all of us they opened up a few more stores. Mmmmmmmm!

Not ranked #1 restaurant in Vancouver everywhere for nothing. Wait is always an hour long during peak times, but if you have a group going (8+), call in to reserve a table. Then, order everything - and 4 of the beef luc lac.

Less well known than 33 Acres, but I prefer their selection of beer (small, but thoughtful). Owners also opened up Oddity Kombucha across the street, which serves kombucha on tap.

Parks & Nature
By far the most inaccessible beach of them all, but so worth it. Clean waters, chill vibes, clothing-optional. There are tons of food and drink vendors down at the beach, and listen out for the roaming hawkers ;)

Essentials
The mall stuck in the '70s. No one understands how they keep affording the rent in this hood. But there's a Buy Low for groceries, a liquor store, convenience store, Shopper's, dentist, and a little stand in the middle that is the only place I've ever seen sell sugar cane juice in Vancouver. Nostalgic!
