Kicking off our new and exciting "5 Things Vancouver" travel series is author Peter Darbyshire.
Peter is the author of Please and The Warhol Gang (forthcoming from HarperCollins Canada).

What is the single best thing about living in Vancouver?
Being able to cycle year-round. It’s the small things that matter.
Where do you look for books in Vancouver?
32 Books on the North Shore. It’s like a diamond mine: small and
cramped but packed with beautiful little gems.
Where’s the best place for coffee?
Where isn’t a good place for coffee in Vancouver? People know their
brews here. I guess I’d say Caffé Artigiano because that’s the place I
hit most often, but you can’t really go wrong here unless you stumble
into a Starbucks by mistake.
What is your favourite Vancouver hangout?
Wreck Beach. I haven’t been there in a while, but I love that it
exists. Every city should have a nude beach.
What’s your favourite free thing to do in Vancouver?
Walk one of the sea walls and just take in the ocean views. Some
people have to fly thousands of miles and pay thousands of dollars for
something like that. I just have to walk out the door and down the
street.
Thanks Peter!
