Eat & Drink
Pacific-Northwestern cuisine comprises a mishmash of cultures. From perfect pancakes at Red Wagon Cafe to drool-worthy ramen at Marutama Ra-men, there’s so much food to discover that you’ll just have to come back for another trip. And because you’re coming right as summer begins, ice cream and gelato are must-haves. Also, has Jared mentioned how superior Vancouver coffee is to the rest of the world’s? You’ll have to put his claim to the test.
