    Vancouver Adventure: Main Street

    August 7, 2015

    A week or so ago, Vicky and I paid a trip to the Main Street area — a part of Vancouver neither of us had ever been to before. It was a grey, drizzly day but we still managed to have fun exploring (and eating… So. Much. Eating).

    IMG_0788We had a tasty lunch at the Wallflower Diner, an eclectic little place that caters well to those who are gluten-free and/or vegan (as well as those who are neither, like me).

    {It was good, but be warned — it’s SPICY!}

    {One of the surprising highlights of the afternoon was seeing this dude casually carrying a Paul Frank umbrella. What a total #tbt to 2003}

    {This clothing emporium has a vast amount of cool, reasonably priced items — well worth checking out!}

    IMG_0805IMG_0802For dessert, we decided to head down to Cartems for donuts…

    {Such a cool interior — we loved the high ceilings and the bright, airy feel of the place}

    {The gluten-free options for Vicky were sadly slim when we went (she had that fun-looking donut on the left), but my blueberry fritter was delicious}

    Our last foodie port-of-call for the day was the legendary Earnest Ice Cream. I’m not the biggest ice cream connoisseur myself, but Vicky (who is) loved it — she highly recommends the Blueberry Lavender flavour.
