Lunch, Dinner, and Girlfriends

Vancouver's a beautiful city, and the best way to enjoy it is with a bunch of friends and endless laughter.

Patio lunch at Burgoo - 05/18/2011

One of the many lunch outings with these girls.  It's only mid-May here and we are already out on the patio.  What you can't see are the heat lamps keeping us warm.  Beggars can't be choosers, so any kind of sun we get in the city is considered a luxury... and you bet we make great use of it.  Burgoo boasts some of the best comfort foods here in Vancouver, so you must try their soup+sandwich combo.  So hearty and great for the soul!

Speaking of comfort food, Society in Yaletown is worth a visit when you feel like getting all bougie but still want to relax and enjoy being a tiny bit of yourself in the pretentious neighbourhood.  How can you not want to kick it with menu items such as Deep Fried Macaroni Balls and Lobster Shepherd's Pie?  Omnomnom!

Even though MS and I were really full after our dinner date, it did not stop us from making a trip down to the Richmond Night Market to meet our friends.  It's an outdoor night market that's open every weekend in the summer until midnight.  With rows and rows of stands that sells anything from toothpaste dispensers to fake LV wallets, there's pretty much something for everyone... not to mention an entire section dedicated to food vendors!  Bring $10 with you and you'll likely find yourself stuffed with a decent three-course meal from around the world.

Richmond Night Market - We needed these socks for bowling afterwards

From noon until midnight, Vancouver's got a lot stored for us.  Whenever you find yourself in a situation where you can't find anything to do, don't be afraid to Google "10 Top Things to Do in Vancouver".  Who knows, you may be in for a little bit of a surprise!

Until next time,
Carpe Diem!
