Favourite Restaurants
Fantastic Neapolitan style pizza from a wood burning stove. The "doughnuts" for desert are to die for. No reservations, but if you get there around opening time (5pm) the wait usually isn't long.

Sightseeing
Great spot for an evening walk, or picnic on the waterfront. There is a public outdoor swimming pool and large grassy park. It is hidden behind the train tracks North of the Hastings Horse race track, and many Vancouverites don't know it's there. Less than a 3km walk and you're enjoying ocean-going ships and a view of the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge.
