5 Things Vancouver: James Sherrett

by Dan
Travel + Vancouver / February 23, 2010

james-sherrett-adhackIn former lives, James Sherrett played hockey, guided fishermen, and wrote the novel Up in Ontario.

A foodist and a Flickrist, he is the founder of the creative community AdHack whose mission is to make better advertising.

If you want to go fishing, skiing, or hunting crabs waist-deep in the Pacific: James can probably hook you up.
 

What’s your favourite book about Vancouver?
The Pornographer's Poem by Michael Turner

Where’s your favourite spot to eat on a budget?
The Social butcher shop in gastown. Incredible sandwiches and home-made potato chips.

What’s your favourite restaurant for a romantic dinner?
Bishop's on 4th is the best restaurant experience in the city. Local food and west-coast cuisine was pioneered by proprietor John Bishop.

Where’s a good spot for Wi-Fi downtown?
Pretty much every coffee shop worth visiting (read: not Starbucks) has free wifi. Sometimes you just have to ask your barista. 

Why should people live in Vancouver and not just visit?
They shouldn't. Real estate prices are already too high. I'm not inviting any more demand into the market.

Bonus: 
Best Popcorn: The Dunbar Theatre on Dunbar at W. 29th.
