Vancouver was founded as “Gastown” by an Englishman with a penchant for beer and storytelling. Today Gastown is a historic section of the Canadian metropolis, and the lively pubs still reflect the area’s former status as a sort of community drinking center. The city’s forests, grand parks, and impressive suspension bridge beckon travelers to explore them, as do the city’s shops and museums. Relive the glory of the 2010 Winter Games with visits to Olympic venues and the marvelous Olympic Cauldron.

I stopped by !ndigo for a meet and greet event with my favorite musicians-turned-authors. While there, I was really impressed with the bookstore! It’s huge, and has a wide selection. The staff was also very helpful with the meet and greet event itself, in directing people to the right area and taking photos. Next time I’m in Vancouver I’ll definitely swing by this store again!
Whether a professional chef, a lover of kitchen utensils or just someone looking to make an everyday task just that much easier, we invite everyone to come to our friendly, non-intimidating store located in the culinary corridor of Vancouver.
