 Live jazz and tasty food |
1141 Hamilton Street at Davie Yaletown Vancouver, BC V6B 5T6 Canada +1 604 684 7900 http://www.caponesrestaurant.net/ |
Locals visit this lively Italian restaurant in the trendy area of Yaletown for live jazz and good food. The menu consists mainly of pastas, tapas and pizzas. It's a good late night venue to visit, but expect line-ups, as the restaurant is small and the combination of jazz and good Italian food is hard to resist. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Funky hide-out |
515 Davie St (near Richards) Vancouver, BC V6B 5B6 Canada +1 604 682 4388 http://www.dv8lounge.com/ |
This is a hub of local colour. Situated downtown in a lively neighbourhood, it is a restaurant by day and lounge by night that is frequented by musicians, writers and artists. The decor is dark, enhancing the bright paintings that dress the walls and handmade lanterns that zigzag the ceiling. The menu reflects an eclectic mix of vegetarian and West Coast culinary style. A popular dish is the Bruschetta (CAD6.25), served atop toasted foccacia bread with melted mozzarella and parmesan cheese and pesto. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Socio-political discussions through contemporary art is this gallery's mandate, so if you are itching for thought-provoking visual displays, check this space out. Located in a fairly small downtown building, it shows local, national and international artists who work with a variety of media. Pop culture, individuality and the politics of economics are just some of the themes explored. Recent exhibits have included an examination of the baroque works of Miguel da Conceicao. Admission is free. Review © 2007, Wcities |
