The great thing about sightseeing in Vancouver is it’s easy to knock off multiple things in one visit to any of its unique neighborhoods. Vancouver’s Chinatown is one of the oldest in Canada and the largest. Perched on the edge of the Downtown Financial District and Gastown, Chinatown offers up an array of funky shops, inexpensive markets, and of course, the best Dim Sum restaurants in town. Sunday is the busiest day for Dim Sum, but also the best with multi-generational families sitting down and chatting about the week’s events.
If there is just one landmark you visit when touring through the Portuguese capital, make it this one. Soaring high above the seafront of the Lisbon quays, this great tower displays a veritable fusion of architectural styles from the Mudejar to the Moorish, the Gothic to the Romanesque. It has stood watch over the mouth of the Tagus River since its construction under the patronage of Saint John back in the 16th century. Since then, it has risen to become perhaps the most iconic feature of the city, famed as the last sight adventurers like the prodigal Vasco da Gama would have seen as they drifted out into the vast Atlantic Ocean.
What is it? Nicolau became a phenomenon when it opened in 2016. Due to the dog-sausage, with a bow around its neck and the velvet suit, that is the mascot of this Baixa’s restaurant. Why go? There isn’t a weekend during which Nicolau Lisboa gets ignored on Instagram. Some post what arrives on the table; others, the decor which resembles a London cafeteria with some Lx Factory touches. And the menu has a bit of everything trendy, such as pancakes (the stars of the house), tapiocas, eggs benedict, smoothies or yoghurt with granola. Go ahead and post that #nomnomnom hashtag. Don’t miss: Nicolau’s pancakes (with mascarpone and strawberries): tall, sweet, flavored. Nailed it!
