Queens Sport Bar

May 7th, 2009

If you want to enjoy watching a hockey game with your friends you can always trust on a bar cross lonsdale and queens. It is located in North Vancouver, and me and my friends have watched the lose of Canucks against Black Hawks there. The atmosphere was not that energetic as the average age of people there I can say was 30. More like family based bar to enjoy watching hockey game. In the bar you can find raffle tickets all the time. Each time canucks scores they are giving free t-shirts away. The food was good. There was a wide white screen which was used for the game.
If you don’t have time to go to downtown and join the fun at the heart of the fun, this is the best choice I found in the north Vancouver.

You can find them on the google map here. They are located just across the gas station on the Queens and lonsdale.
Their contact number is 604 980 7715, if you want to make sure you have a room when you are getting there.

Subway special deal on lonsdale

April 7th, 2009

deal Subway special deal on lonsdaleAs you might have read one of our previous articles about subways in north Vancouver, I want to introduce to you one unique subway from all of them. As you might all know, from time to time, subway along other franchised come up with special deals to attract customers. It is good news when you hear those but the bad news is that usually the older deals will fade out and you can not get the deals you used to get. My first deal I got in a subway was its Meatball, 6 inches for just 1.99 before taxes. After subway introduced its new deal of the day deals I couldn’t find meatballs for that price anymore.

Do not worry, if you like meatballs a lot, you can still get that deal from one of my favourites subways located between 13th and 14th of lonsdale. Just order a meatball and pay 2.08 cents or go for a footlong and pay 4.16. Can you find any better deal in this hard economy times ? The subway is open till 11 in the night, so don’t be late for a great deal there.

Its address/phone are:

Lonsdale Quay

March 11th, 2009

vancouver lonsdale quay Lonsdale QuayLonsdale Quay is located on the North Vancouver waterfront with a spectacular view of the see.  It is considered as one of the major transit hubs and one of the gateways to north shore.  Seabus terminal is located on Lonsdale Quay and it is one of the best commuters which connects the North Shore and Downtown Vancouver.  Whenever there is an accident on one of the north shore bridges, it can easily make a huge delay especially during rush hours. Seabus, however, operates usually without any delay.

On the North Shore side, SeaBus terminal joins an extensive network of North Shore buses and in Downtown Vancouver connects with buses, SkyTrain and the West Coast Express.

Lonsdal Quay contains more than 90 shops, fresh food markets and children’s play area.

Stepho’s

February 28th, 2009

stephos souvlaki greek tavenna Stephos

Last night we were out for a dinner with my friends. First began searching the restaurants by the old fashion way of walking and going in, asking about the menu, watching for the atmoshphere, when they are closing and most importantly the waitreses. Our journey began from denman and georgia. You can basically find lots of place to dine in Demnam. After a walk in a cold breezy evening we end up walking in the Davie, where our attention caught by a huge lineup at front of Stepho’s restuarant. 

You can find reviews about this restaurant here and here. Most of them making it an average restaurant but if you are looking for a good food with a great price, this is the place to go. You can find “Roast Lamb”, one of their best dishes (along with Kalamari, they wrote it this way in theri menu) for only 9.95. The one great dish that I bet you can not finish it unless you haven’t had food for a day. 

After dinner you can enjoy great selection of wine and if you are more concerned about the money, you can find its coffee or tea for only 0.99 dollars. A great compliment to spend your time with your loved ones a little more in a causy atmosphere.

You can find the reviews google found about the stepho’s here.

It’s exact address and phone number is :

1124 Davie St
Vancouver, BC
Tel: (604) 683-2555

A suggestion for google reader

June 15th, 2007

Have you ever used tags in google reader ?3751084043 logo scroll A suggestion for google reader I use them to categorize weblogs that I read, so I have a tag called persian (for example) and there are some blogs under that tag. after reading the newest posts of the blogs, the posts get marked as read but they are will not get vanished from your page; So it raise a problem of not being read for weblogs with the low rate of publishing.
If you have a weblog in one of your tags which publish faster than other blogs, for reading the last post of the blog with low publishing rate you should skip all the posts which you already have read it once, So I make a suggestion for google to make an option in the setting for users to select between vanishing posts after being read or staying at the same place. In this case there are only new and unread posts will remain on the google reader.
