We spent a family day in scenic New Westminster bonding over
potstickers, pretending to be pop stars and playing with flying trapezes
at River Market.
dine
From Wallys Burgers to Wild Rice to Re-Up BBQ, the dining options here
are stellar (with more exciting ones to come). Come for lunch, stay for
dinner.
decorate
If youve been known to sleuth New Wests Antique Row, you will recognize
Midcentury Modern Home, now relocated to the market. Beautiful Danish
lamps, and items small and large get snapped up by the new crop of
resident young hipsters.
shop
What market is complete without a stellar cheese shop? Pick up your
Morbiere and Tomme de Savoie at this modern outlet of La Grotta Del
Formaggio, www.lgdf.ca
play
Learn the ropes (literally) with the excellent young instructors at
Vancouver Circus School. Our kids loved the clowning techniques,
trampoline, swinging and spinning plates on a stick while going down the
slide. www.vancouvercircusschool.ca
sing
The beautifully designed space (think modular Japanese) that is Music
Box will have your wee ones practicing their scales, then recording a CD
to send to Grandma. Our 7-year-old’s rendition of Call Me Maybe
is, um, priceless. www.musicboxnw.ca
