My Vancouver The PR Maven Shannon Heth owns her own PR company, Milk Creative Communications, which represents lifestyle clients. Her impeccable personal style has landed her on the best-dressed list for Vancouver Magazine and The Globe and Mail. Favourite restaurants La Mezcaleria or La Taqueria, for Mexican food. Chickpea Truck, for quick take-out. I like to take my parents to Maenam. Homer St. Cafe is great for kids. For out-of-town guests, Nightingale. For an anni- versary dinner, Cioppino’s — if I could eat there every day, I would. Favourite places for a drink The Diamond. L’Abattoir. At the bar in Kissa Tanto — I just love that room. You walk up the stairs and you’re in this other world. Favourite clothing stores Oak + Fort. LYNNsteven. One of a Few. Nordstrom. The Room in Hudson’s Bay. Favourite shoe store I have a shoe guy at Holt Renfrew. He’ll text me pictures of shoes. It’s really dangerous. Style mantra Wear what makes you feel good. Have fun with it. Personal mantra Say yes and figure it out later. Essential tour of Vancouver Ride on the Aquabus to Granville Island. Eat fish ’n’ chips at Go Fish. Visit Southlands — it’s like being in the country even though you’re still in the city. Stop for pizza at Bufala. Maybe walk up and down Commercial Drive, and get a cof- fee from an Italian place. And visit all the interesting galleries in the Flats. Best view of Vancouver From the top of Grouse Mountain. On a clear day, take the gondola up, walk around and have lunch. 30   E ss E n t i a l Va n co u V er 20 1 7/ 1 8 by sheri radford + photo by kk law
