A Revisit to the Naam Restaurant
It had been more than a few years since my Sweetheart and I had visited the Naam Restaurant in the Vancouver neighbourhood of Kitsilano and after a day in Vancouver with our kids at the Art Gallery, we decided to revisit one of our favourite vegetarian restaurants from years gone by.

Breakfast at the Jimoco Cafe

Sooner than I expected I have an update on my recent visit to I Love Sushi. Yesterday I was racing from one assignment to the next and needed to pick up a snack for my dinner – a perfect opportunity to revisit I Love Sushi! I popped into the restaurant at 3:30pm-ish and was given a very…
