Food Scene

This is my regular coffee spot, just a short walk away. I love this corner because it's quieter than Alberta street or other hot neighborhood spots but it's got everything I need – strong coffee, a cute bottle shop with a nice happy hour, a great brunch at Muscadine, a dispensery if that's your thing, Pok Pok's Noi, and the best burger in town (Grain & Gristle). You'll find all these marked in the guidebook.

Everything Else

There are so many places you could go on Alberta street, it's hard to even pick a few. Just wander up and walk the length of it from 9th all the way up to the 20th blocks. You'll find all kinds of shops, bars, and restaurants to keep you busy.
