Singing the Praises of Vancouver, B.C.
I recently spent a long weekend in Vancouver, British Columbia and once again came away thinking that it might just be the most pleasant city on this planet. The city’s setting is simply spectacular. The harbor is on one side, the snow capped mountains on the other, you couldn’t design a more beautiful backdrop for a city of tall, sleek, and skinny high rise buildings.
The other thing that really struck me was the number of foreign languages I heard while wandering the streets. Vancouver is a city that attracts foreign visitors and immigrants from around the world. One result of the diversity is that it is a place that has outstanding ethnic restaurants and neighborhoods. I am particularly found of an Indian restaurant called Vij’s. It doesn’t take reservations and if you show up a half hour before it opens chances are you won’t be the only one waiting in line.
With the 2010 Winter Olympics on the near horizon, Vancouver continues to build and to change. Now is an excellent time to visit before the Olympics crunch. It is also an excellent time to visit because Cathay Pacific has a great deal on flights from New York.
New York to Vancouver Flights for Cheap, eh
Vancouver, British Columbia is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever visited. With tall, sleek buildings overlooking both the sea and stunning mountains, the city is one of a kind. Vancouver is also one of the most diverse cities in North America, which means that it has some of the finest ethnic restaurants on this planet. My personal favorite is an amazing Indian joint called Vij’s. You’ll want to show up early because they don’t take reservations and there is always a line. It is well worth the wait.
Cathay Pacific, one of the best airlines around, is offering up flights from New York to Vancouver starting at just US$317. If you have never been to Vancouver or if you want to see the Pacific Northwest at its finest, hop on this deal today.
