Like being inside Edward Hopper's Nighthawks diner painting, this time-capsule greasy spoon instantly transports you to the 1940s. Snag a booth alongside the hospital-green walls or, better yet, slide onto a tape-repaired spinning stool at the long counter. Truck-stop coffee is de rigueur here, alongside burgers, sandwiches and fried breakfasts that haven't changed in decades (yes, that's liver and onions on the menu).
It's a uniquely evocative reminder of yesteryear Vancouver (check out the near-legendary neon sign outside), so save time to peruse the art-deco flourishes on the cabinets. And if you're in the area and you simply want to check it out, drop by for an afternoon slice of apple pie and ice cream.
