Always in search of cool little places to discover, whether it be in my city or in others that I visit, I found last year a series I love books, " eat. shop. ", that list of restaurants, cafes and shops nice and more or less known to some cities, primarily in North America.
Done by locals who know their city, it's simple but extremely well done, the photos are beautiful, well thought out format is exactly the kind of book I wanted to publish. Essential to his own city, it is also a good guide to have to discover a new city and know where the locals.
Unsurprisingly, in Portland-a city where I can not wait to return, the first edition was launched in 2003. Regularly updated, the sixth edition was released a few months ago. And just for Portland, there is a for iPhone and iPod Touch .
And it is far from the guides published annually by the Georgia Straight and Ender West Vancouver, where poverty, the ranking of players is a pathetic lack of originality : Starbucks best coffee in town (it's not even true, it is yucky coffee from Starbucks), Naam , best vegetarian restaurant (though it likes to eat grass, why not, but it For years he topped it was included), Ikea, best furniture store. Come on! After that you want the world to believe that Vancouver is super trendy and avant-garde? Who will swallow that? In
eat.shop guides, not chains, as small independent restaurants and cafes, shops with character, it flips and we want to go anywhere. Two pages for each address, a brief description very personal, and photos to drool:
I acknowledge that Rangoli , it is no secret in Vancouver, he was on my list since but it took me a long time to go, no less than 6 years. I finally tested this week, and I would probably make several more visits. Meanwhile, I continue to draw addresses for the next few weeks in my eat.shop Vancouver.
