We walked past a heaving Irish House last night, not fancying the queue, we found our jollies elsewhere. Apparently the residents of the condo's surrounding the House, don't fancy the noise.
In my shortish time here in Vancouver, one thing I've noticed is that Vancouverites love their brunches. And as a result of this there are some pretty good places to go to sort your stomach lining out from the night before and prepare for the day ahead. Nothing quite hits the mark like the Full English breakfast pictured above, but there are some notables.
Sure there's the hotel spreads and the finer dining brunches, and they're great, but that's a bit fancy for me. When I'm in the throws of a stonking hangover I'm more of a fan of a good honest breakfast in a nice little cafe or diner that's not going to break the bank, and so here's bunch of the better breakfast spots in town:
Friday the 12th of Feb 2010 marks the launch of Vancouver's very own R&B Brewing Co 's latest brew, 'Iceholes Celebration Lager'. The name was inspired from an on screen rant, by comedian Stephen Colbert.
As you may or may not have noticed, the Olympics are coming at the end of this week and it'll be bringing rather a lot of extra people to our city, an estimated 1.5 million in fact.
So here it is, top five#4, the world's best urinals. This is a highly contested discipline where the most innovative khazis battle it out for the coveted nod of world's best urinal… (the photo above didn't actually make the cut, just thought it was a funny shot…we've all been there!)
We popped down to the former metal venue for a preview and a few El Jimador's.
The Foundry in Shoreditch, London is set to be demolished to make way for an 18 storey hotel. This is indeed sad news, for anyone who has had the experience of boozing in the alternative Pub / Gallery.
Came across these super stylish glass hip flasks from Kit Paulson. I must say i'm always grateful when a hip flask finds it's sweet way to my lips, but i can't say i've ever owned or carried one myself. But these make me want to start.
On Saturday night I popped down to the newly opened Bao Bei. I can honestly say it is one of the most beautiful rooms I have been in for ages.
So for this instalment of Nick's Top Fives, I've turned to David Hasselhoff. 'The Hoff' has had some rather choice drunken moments caught on camera, so I thought I'd share them with you all. Don't get me wrong, I love the Hoff….I loved Knight Rider, well I loved the car…..I loved Baywatch, well I loved Pam Anderson…I loved America's Got Talent, well no I didn't. Well we love your drunk ass anyway David….
