If you like healthy vegetarian food and a warm, hippie-tinged environment, the Naam is great. 5 min walk from the house. Good food overall and cosy atmosphere. A Vancouver institution that is open 24hrs. It's popular though--watch out for line-ups on the weekend!

I love this place because of their organic menu and fabulous homemade pies. My favourite dinner is the Potato-Crusted Salmon. A bit pricey but great quality. Lots of vegetarian options.

Parks & Nature
As far as being right in the city goes, Jericho is beautiful and wild. A great place to walk and without the party atmosphere of Kits Beach. It is about a 25-30 minute walk west along 4th avenue. Definitely the place to be in July during the Vancouver Folk Music Festival.

Such a great place to walk to in minutes. Watch volleyball on the beach in the summer, bicycle along the waterfront all the way to Granville Island and Science World.

Sightseeing
Granville Island Public Market is a great place to go to shop for fresh produce, bakery items, or unique gifts, visit the Kids Market, catch theatre performances or just have a lazy day wandering around. Sip a latte at the water's edge and listen to live music while people watch. Finish the day with dinner at Bridges Restaurant or a theatre production at Performance Works.

Gastown is a tourist destination but still nice to wander around. Often free music stages during the Jazz Festival.

Worth the drive to the North Shore. Fantastic to walk out on that suspension bridge if you are not afraid of heights!
