Amazing Italian right across the street! Closed Mondays. Pint-size eatery serving large, refined Italian dishes meant for sharing. Gluten-free choices. One of the top restaurants in Vancouver. No reservations, so you have to go down at around 5pm to put your name on a list. Sounds crazy but worth the effort and since your staying so close you can come back to the suite while you wait for your table.

Located at the north terminus of Main St, CRAB Park is a 2.5 hectare waterfront green space and beach destination so effectively tucked away from busy Gastown and the surrounding Downtown Eastside that it remains largely bereft of the crowds typically associated with Vancouver’s urban beaches. It’s a busy place. The shore is lapped by the wakes of slowly passing cruise + container ships. The air buzzes with dock sounds, train shuntings, and seaplanes + helicopters taking off + landing nearby. And yet the park itself always feels tranquil. It features an oasis-like quality that makes it especially magnetic to those who frequent it.
