Friend visiting from NYC!

I keep hearing about hawksworth, guess I should look it up! I guess I'm looking for something slightly trendy but someplace that doesn't compromise style with quality. I was thinking maybe boneta in gastown or perhaps r.tl in yaletown or even the helm? I've done a lot of izakaya & he's the kind of guy who rents out abc kitchen for his birthday bash...not looking for something too pricey, though....

Friend visiting from NYC!

I've been out of town for a few months and now I have a friend from NYC coming to visit me this coming weekend. We want to go out for dinner downtown and perhaps party afterwards....where could you recommend? He's a foodie also and would like to see what the Vancouver food scene has to offer.

Any ideas, friends?

oooh~ thanks, miss needle! i had no idea that DB Bistro was in Manhattan! Coincidentally, there is one here in Vancouver that I keep meaning to go to but keep missing! Maybe this is my chance..! and thans for the suggestion about having bar americain before the shop. good idea!

and miss kathyrn: honestly i take most things with a grain of salt, hope there are no hard feelings. it felt like you were peeved at my brevity, but i sincerely do appreciate the lengthy and detailed help you provided nonetheless :)

okay, wow. thanks for your input with a dose of condesention! (man, i hate sounding whiny!!) i was just on my way out of work, which is why my post was so...brief.
but yes, kathryn, my list is longer than just those two. i used those as examples in terms of budget range (cheap to expensive) and type of food (street-ish to refined).

here is my list so far:

Saturday

Breakfast: Baohaus
Lunch: Hangawi (relatives run the place. otherwise why would i go to a vegetarian korean restaurant! oh, right, they have good reviews.)
Dinner: ? (I'll be going to see Phantom of The Opera at the Majestic at 8pm)

Sunday
Breakfast (or Brunch): The Pink Teacup
Mid Day: Yerba Buena
Dinner: Morimoto

Monday
Brunch: The Smith
Lunch: Bar Americain
Dinner: ?

and of course there's snacking in between to consider...!
and yes..I am an iron chef fan..so at the risk of seeming touristy I am going to both morimoto and flay's restaurants...so there! Lol!

ah...i'm salivating already...!

Suggestions for a Birthday Dinner in the Vancouver Area for 2 Tonight!!

It's my birthday today....I really din't plan on doing anything...but a girlfriend made a sudden dinner offer for tonight! I don't want to stretch her pocket too much but I don't want to throw out a suggestion like MacDonalds just because of that. (That's kinda insulting, right?)

we're both kind of foodies and enjoy a great meal, especially at an affordable price.
i get off work late..around 6:30pm in Langley and would like to meet her in the Vancouver or Richmond area (where she lives). If she's paying, I may as well travel! And it's no biggie for me.

Anyways~~! My conundrum is where to go for dinner and hopefully somewhere closeby we can sit afterwards for a good heart-to-heart talk. (I'm thinking a quaint tea house). Vancouver Chowhounds, I need some help, please~!!!!

MO Chowhounds, help me out, please?
My friend and I are from Vancouver and we're going to SLMO at the end of the month for a 5 day convention..... We'll be staying at the Hyatt Hotel on Chestnut. I looked up Urbanspoon, but all the restaurants that pop up are quite a few blocks away from the hotel and/or the convention centre! Lunch and dinner times will probably be quite short..any suggestions on quick bites?

*and yes, we'll probably be hitting up a food store the day we arrive so we can possibly do packed lunches!

Much thanks in advance :D
