What's good to explore in Vancouver?

  Honestly, if you're in Gastown, you can't miss the Steam Clock. But is it worth waiting the 15-min interval for it to toot its horn? No.

  That being said, while the clock itself is a miss (unless you are a fourth-grade kid or a Japanese tourist), Gastown is great. There are some fantastic boutiques along the whole strip (interspersed with the touristy kitsch) and some really great restaurants.

  If you didn't have a sheltered suburban childhood, the nearby Downtown Eastside is worth a looksie.

  If you're visiting on a nice, warm spring or summer day, heading to the Black Frog and getting a window seat is a good way to pass the time at a good local watering hole while awaiting the Steam Clock's toot.
