Great idea for a thread, Zoomer! I'm going to keep the first page Toronto discussion bookmarked as I tend to find myself there once or twice a year, and appreciate everyone's ideas for new places to explore.
I'm looking for some ideas/suggestions for places to check out while I'm in Vancouver over the May long weekend. It'll be my second visit - I didn't have very much free time on my first one a few years ago, but did manage to see Granville Island, Lonsdale Quay, and take in a sunset near the inukshuk at English Bay.
This time, I'm hoping to check out Stanley Park and the Aquarium, visit a gallery/museum or two (suggestions welcome), and wander some areas of interest to urbanists (again, suggestions welcome). Also taking food/restaurant recommendations for while I'm out and about.
One logistical note: my hotel is out in Richmond near the Canada Line and I'll mostly be relying on transit to get around.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions and advice!
