    Howdy all,

    I'm a Red Bull fan up to have a laugh at Philly as part of our northwest tour. I've got a guide book, but wanted to hit the locals up and see if you'd recommend any places an out of towner should hit.

    I'm get in tomorrow afternoon and leave early Sunday morning.

    Any suggestions on quality food? Things I just shouldn't miss? I'm still hunting for a hotel, so any suggestions on that would be huge as well!

    Thanks,

    Rob

    hotwire is your friend for discount decent accomodations

    places to see and visit in vancity:
    -Seawall
    -English Bay
    -Stanley Park
    -Robson Street
    -Whistler (If you're feeling like another 1.5 hour drive up the coast to the Mountain resort municipality)
    -North Shore and Quay.

    As far as cool spots to eat and hang out:
    -Granville Street in downtown in the entertainment district, and should be okay in a day or two after last nights riot :mad:
    -Joe Fortes is a great eatery on Thurlow at Robson
    -Casual Resteraunts like Joeys, Earls, and Cactus Club never disappoint.

    If I were you I'd stay as close to downtown or in downtown Vancouver.

    I'm going to be staying right in downtown (Sheraton Wall Centre), so those are great suggestions. Thanks for the info!
