Location: 1869 Powell St."

"A post shared by The Red Wagon Cafe (@redwagoncafe) on Oct 20, 2018 at 8:45am PDT. You’ve seen them on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, now check them out yourself. Top-notch pancakes with specialty cocktails, that’s what Red Wagon is all about."

"This cute little bakery has expanded in recent years and is a firm favourite among Vancouverites for its sweet treats.

"A post shared by The NAAM Restaurant (@naamrestaurant) on Mar 13, 2017 at 10:53am PDT. Considered a staple for vegetarian and vegan eats in Vancouver for, well, what seems like forever, eating at Kitsilano’s The Naam is pretty much a rite of passage. Their calling card dish is their Sesame Fries with an add-on of Miso Gravy, but you’ll also find an array of noodles, bowls, veggie burgers, Mexican-inspired fare, salads, appies, and much more here."

"Can you really do a post on the best vegetarian restaurants Vancouver without including The Naam?!. Open in 1968, this place was a pioneer for vegetarian food in Vancouver. It’s open 24 hours a day (It’s only closed once a year on Christmas!!)."

"Vancouver's oldest natural foods restaurant with a lengthy menu and generous portions. Go for a bowl and a cashew bliss ball for dessert. Expect a line-up at this 24-hour restaurant."

"Possibly one of the busiest brunch places I’ve ever visited, Jam Cafe has become increasingly popular in recent months so it’s fair to say that you should expect to queue if you arrive later than 9 am. Even though the queuing might be frustrating, the food is so delicious!. Make sure to try their Chicken N’ Waffles and chocolate shakes; you won’t be disappointed."

This is a mom and pop bakery shop, serving classic donuts since 1979 and they have an ample of yummy donuts to choose from: Chocolate Crunch, Butter Crunch, Honeydew, Maple Iced, Cinnamon, Lemon Cheesecake–and the list goes on. Cartems Donuterie is one more place that caters exquisite doughnuts downtown and Vancouverites just love it."

Entrance is free but the museum is only open to the public on Saturdays by appointment."

"Kids Market is a shopping mall focused on children (and the kids at heart). Toys, children’s wear, party supplies, costumes, dance clothing, candies, gifts and other specialty items fill the shops in this warehouse-styled mall. With a play area, arcade and caboose, it is definitely a child’s paradise."

"An enormous totem pole greets visitors at the entrance to this historical building which has been redesigned to showcase indigenous culture and art. It gives a global platform to tribal artists, and its Fair Trade Gallery features original paintings, jewellery, pottery and wood carvings for sale. But even sleeping in one of the 18 unique suites is a 101 in First Nations folklore; designed by six local artists, each room tells a visual story through installations."

"The massive totem pole jutting out from the peaked roof gives you a hint why Skwachàys Lodge, Canada’s first aboriginal boutique arts hotel, occupies its own niche. Part visitor accommodation and part social housing, the property isn't just a place to stay, but rather a cultural experience unlike any other you’ll find in Vancouver. Skwachàys was once a rundown single-room occupancy hotel, but a CDN$10.5 million renovation gave it a brand-new life."
