you're in vancouver? no shit bro. We were there a couple years ago and found the canadians to be much more rude there than in montreal. at least in the gaslamp district or whatever it was called. but they had strongbow in the pubs for like $20 so I tolerated it.
I was in Austin in October for a conference and stayed downtown, and I swear it felt like a carbon copy of river north. There was one street that had all the same restaurants as where I work. Cantina Laredo, Fogo de Chao, Fado, Chipotle. 6th street seemed like kind of a circus but then again I'm old and should kill myself. I also had just had ass surgery so I was walking around like a clubfooted shithead.
Oh, I also had a beer at Vince Young's steakhouse and the bartender was a major beardo choad.
The Gingerman was nice but they were too cool for school.
The Bourbon Girl on 6th street in Austin is a Chicago Bears bar. Watched the first Detroit game there, which sucked, of course, but won an autographed viktor stalberg hockey puck in a mandatory raffle.
