Vancouver 2010 Olympics: Top 10 Sips and Bites

@fmedr Thanks for the additions as usual.

I've been to Bao Bei a few times and enjoyed their cocktails. How did you like the food?

I love Osake. Unfortunately, they don't serve food but be on the lookout (hint hint)...

@sahmad550 mmm :) Great suggestion. I was torn between that and True Confections, but chose the latter based on its location.

Vancouver 2010 Olympics: Top 10 Breakfast and Brunch

@AlexOfAnders @iBalot - This article certainly wasn't easy to write; imagine trying to compress everything our city has to offer in merely 10 recommendations! If it were up to me, I'd write "Mel's top 10", take it or leave it. However, I try to accommodate travellers with different needs and preferences. Clearly, some people love the big portions at Sophie's and I won't deny them of it :) Ditto for Bon's. Thanks for the comments!

@foodieonthe49th @fmedr How can I forget DimSum? It was covered in the last article but thanks for the tip! http://tiny.cc/8pSKm

The tough part about writing a top 10 is there are only 10 spots. I'd add more if I could so thanks for the contributions!

@BananaMonkey - I agree wholeheartedly about our sushi. Thus far, I've only had better sushi in Japan (even many Asian cities didn't match up to Vancouver). I felt Izakaya is something that many people can't get back home... and I figured they'll try sushi here regardless ; ) thanks for the tip.

@plazmaorb I'm focusing on the Vancouver area this time for the tourists staying Downtown. Would love to cover more of the GVRD but there's only so many top 10 spots :)

@toreh03 It's not "ha ha" funny, but more a "sigh, what can you do but chuckle" funny. We've been warned since the initial consideration that there might not be enough snow but "we" still pushed ahead for it. The environmental impact we're making by trying to fill the mountains up is tragic. Was it really a surprise to any of the locals though?
