Second day in Vancouver, prior to my Wild Things vulnerability, it rained. Surprised? Off I trekked to downtown from the West End. Hooray for the "generousity" of Translink and my UPass validity (or lack of) because bussing about the city is certainly easier when you don't have to count change. I heard from a friend about this lovely Lebanese place near Harbour Centre so off I took Andrea for lunch. Mmm falafels!
Nuba is located in a venue in the underfloor space of an old, old building in Vancouver, across from the Vancouver Film School on the edge of the DTES. Last time I frequented this location, it was a tacky Mexican restaurant. But no longer! The decor of Nuba is fresh, clean, large arc walkways, and lots of space. Clearly a popular dining spot for those working downtown. And very reasonable prices, I'm happy to report. The 'hot sauce' is hardly hot but does have a fresh kick suitable for the falafel, hummus, avocado pita I had. Andrea tried the red lentil soup...you must try. I will certainly hit up Nuba again.
The rest of the day I spent burning time on the Internet at Renaissance cafe on Burnaby Mountain, then hanging out with my Wild Things companion for the evening. Traffic was stupid so we had to x our trip to Ikea but that left more time to cook dinner!
Weather update for Day 3 in Vancouver: lighter rain. With a chance of breaking cloud. Off to Langley/Whiterock I go!
