Hip Hapa

January 18th, 2010

JANUARY 18TH, 2010 Hip Hapa Third time's the charm? If you love Hapa Izakaya, then yes, yes and yes.

Talk to the Hand

January 16th, 2010

JANUARY 16TH, 2010 Talk to the Hand You've been know to make an origami crane from a paper napkin or turn a newspaper into an "art project." Anything to entertain the kids on these drizzly days of winter. That's why we loved these temporary tattoo hand puppets ($12.50/8). Wonder if they'll go to bed sooner if it's a purple polka dot monster telling them to do it? www.thirddrawerdo ...

In the Lupo

January 15th, 2010

JANUARY 15TH, 2010 In the Lupo It's a hockey night on Saturday and you're headed downtown with your ice man to take in the game. Nix the overpriced burgers and beer, and before Luongo get Lupo. The Italian eatery at Hamilton and Smithe has gotten a new lease on life. There's a new chef and a new look—light, white walls, warm woods and modern art—which has the 1800s heritage home lo ...

Drag Show

January 13th, 2010

JANUARY 13TH, 2010 Drag Show Our fashion resolution is to embolden our closet of basics with uncommon accoutrements and we've found the funkiest little web shop to get us started. It's called Bona Drag, after a Polari phrase popularized by Morrissey that means “nice outfit,” and it's stocked with cool curios. We gravitated towards goods like printed wool cloaks by Lindsay Thornbu ...

Vamped and Amped

January 12th, 2010

JANUARY 12TH, 2010 Vamped and Amped Historically, the first month of the year marks a low note for new music releases, which means our boom box plays like a broken record. But that was the Noughties and we're in a new decade where good discs rush right out of the starting gate. The first is Vampire Weekend's Contra. Out today, the shiny, happy album is the auditory equivalent to a ...

Going for the Gold

January 11th, 2010

JANUARY 11TH, 2010 Going for the Gold With beauty products it's what's inside the package that counts, but it can't hurt if the outside is its own work of art. As a tribute to Canada's female athletes, Lancôme called upon Vancouver-bred, New York-based photographer Raphael Mazzucco (the man behind more than a few Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue covers) and his make-up artist spouse Li ...

Pied-a-Share

January 9th, 2010

JANUARY 9TH, 2010 Pied-a-Share Sure spring break used to mean cheap trips to Mexico with the girls, too many tequila poppers and questionable hookups with frat boys from a fly-over state. For a more civilized spring break, book into The Modage, a charming and spacious townhouse in Vancouver’s Kitsilano neighbourhood. Made for a family-size entourage, the eclectic and modern spac ...

Heat and Eat

January 8th, 2010

JANUARY 8TH, 2010 Heat and Eat We can’t claim a lick of French-Canadian ancestry, but over the holidays we got hooked on one of the East Coast’s tastiest traditions—tourtières. Made with pork or beef and seasoned with savoury spices and herbs, the succulent pies are the perfect comfort food for these chilly winter nights. For the ultimate no-fuss meal, whether at home or a weekend ...
