Jillian PovarchookCollections associate Jillian Povarchook isn’t the only thing interesting about the Museum ofVancouver, which nabbed third place in our Gallery/Museum category, but her thoughtful list oflocal favourites puts her a close second.And it has nothing to do with her love of former CanuckDave Babych’s lustrous moustache.Well, maybe a little.

Best local venueto see live musicThe Imperial — but, I miss Richard’s onRichards every time I see a show

Favourite localmusician or bandPink Mountaintops

Favourite Vancouver Canuckof all timeMy mother would disown me if I didn’tsay Trevor Linden, but I’ll always have asoft spot for Sami Salo, as he looked likehe was in perpetual need of a hug. Oh,and Dave Babych’s moustache

Favourite restaurantCinara — excellent wine, even moreexcellent Italian-ish food and an interiorthat’s like the continental grown upbrother of Finch’s Tea House across thestreet. Gorgeous

Favourite grocery storeUnion Market for their Portuguesechourico and the warm communityfeeling

Best local blogVancouver is Awesome. Bob’s enthusiasmfor Vancouver’s (and by extension, B.C.’s)past, present and future is infectious

Best craft breweryStrange Fellows, hands down.Their sours win my love forever

Favourite Vancouver buildingThe Dal Grauer Substation on Burrard.I always expect to see the ScoobyDoo gang running up and down thestaircases

Favourite place to takeout of town guestsUpstairs at Campagnolo for a DirtyBurger — they can do the Grouse Grindon their own

Favourite neighbourhoodStrathcona, always and forever

Fin the WhaleEncouraging Canucks fans to cheer on theirstruggling team this year sounds like a thanklesstask. But the city’s Best Mascot, Fin, isn’t one tocomplain. In fact, the fuzzy orca loves just abouteverything and everybody, especially if it’s oceanrelated. Fin put flipper to paper and gave us alist of his local picks.

Favourite beach for people watchingWhale, there are so many choices but Kits beach seems tobe pretty active. I stay away fromWreck Beach – TMI!!

Best sushi in townI have to go with our friends at Minami

Favourite place to take out of town guestsRogers Arena for a Canucks game of course

Best place to grab a beverageafter a hard gameThe Pint or The Keg

Favourite place to take a dateMiddle of English Bay and look at the Van City skyline
