Vancouver Icon Bin 941 Shines On I was a devotee to the Bins back in the day, both 941 and 942, and had many a first, and a few last, dates there. These were the first real tapas-style dining opportunities outside a few of the Spanish and Greek options that existed at the time. Owner…

Rain Hair Salon
I’ve been a bit of a wanderer of late when it comes to getting my hair done. I’ve even been doing some amateur dye jobs at home, which sort of work for tiny touch up, but this hair of mine has been in real need of a complete in-salon full cut, colour, condition and style for…
J Natural Spa
I have walked up 4th Avenue in Kitsilano hundreds of times and never noticed J Natural Spa before. There’s a signboard that I must have passed, but it’s tucked away on the upper level. I must have been tweeting or somehow focused on something else. Never mind, as I have found it now. SocialShopper put…

One of the first to open was Chef Neil Wyle’s Hamilton Street Grill at 1009 Hamilton Street and it’s still going strong. Recently we purchased the Social Shopper Hamilton Street Grill Burger special that features two beef…

Spoon Kitchen
We’d been meaning to check out the newest culinary addition to West 4th Avenue, Malaysian and Thai-themed Spoon Kitchen. Tucked underneath the fitness club at 1909 West 4th you could almost miss it, but it’s worth seeking out for a casual weekday meal. Right now SocialShopper has an eight-course menu for $24 – (click link to…
