THINGS TO DO

☕ Coffee
Prototype Coffee
Strathcona
Super dialed espresso and a good place to sit with a notes app open for way too long.
[link placeholder]
Revolver
Gastown
Fast bar service, great beans, and ideal pre-Seabus caffeine before wandering.

Nemesis
Mount Pleasant
When I want atmosphere plus a pastry that feels slightly too fancy for a Tuesday.
Moving Coffee
Olympic Village
Tiny footprint, huge flavor — best stop before a seawall loop.
🚶 Walk Routes
False Creek Reset Loop
Olympic Village to Science World to Yaletown and back — skyline reflections if you catch it at dusk.
[Google Maps placeholder]
Stanley Park Fog Circuit
Start at Coal Harbour, follow the seawall, pause at Siwash Rock, then coffee on Denman.

Main Street Drift
Broadway to 33rd with record shops and snack stops in between.
🧭 Things To Do If You're Visiting
Ride the SeaBus at least once just for the skyline reveal.
Get caught in one light rain and call it immersive local culture.
Walk Commercial Drive and let lunch choose you.
Do sunset at English Bay, even if it's cloudy — especially if it's cloudy.
Catch a Whitecaps match and feel BC Place shake.
Take the SkyTrain with no plan, hop out somewhere new, repeat.
🏟️ Stadium / City Moments
BC Place — Section 254
Placeholder note about the first tifo pull that went exactly right.
Rogers Arena Walk-Up
Placeholder memory about wet pavement, jersey chatter, and pre-game buzz.
☕ Local Coffee Run
This list is basically my rotation when I want either clarity, caffeine, or both.

🚶 Walk Habit
Vancouver is best learned by walking it: seawall loops, side streets, and accidental detours.
FALSE CREEK · STANLEY PARK
⚽ Matchday City
If you're visiting during a home match, BC Place energy tells you a lot about the city.
BC PLACE · SOUTHSIDERS
🌊 Vancouver Mood
Ocean air, wet pavement reflections, and mountain silhouettes still undefeated.
