I am now back in San Francisco, but still posting stuff from my trip to Vancouver. FYI, the exchange rate right now is about US$1 = CAN$0.8. I will be heading back to Boston on Jan. 16th.

Got quite a bit to update. I'll start with lunch yesterday at the Armani Cafe on Newbury, inside Emporio.
buffalo mozzarella and prosciutto
skillet-roasted mussels
bucatini carbonara
gnocchi with chicken cacciatore
I must say this meal was very good! I'd never been before. There's an Armani Cafe at the store in San Francisco too, but I've never been there either. I always thought it was a weird/interesting idea to have a restaurant inside a shop like that. Everything was really good though. Mozzarella was tasty, mussels were great (and the juice/sauce with the piece of bread was awesome). The gnocchi was fluffy and the chicken was tender (even the white meat!). Gotta go for now, big updating coming soon again.
