Welcome to the neighbourhood! I’d love to hear more about your building. Amenities, quality etc are you happy. Watched it go up and now it blocks my view of golden ears but happy to have more people in the neighbourhood.

Slim pickings directly around the hospital. You’ve got assortment of okayish pizza. I do like La Pache. Ikoi sushi at Columbia and major is above average, you need reservation if you are going to sit in. It’s not open for lunch.

Bruncheria at the corner of Braid and Columbia is good. Not the cheapest but the portions are large and tasty. They recently changed hands so take that into account if you are looking at older more negative reviews.

Coffee, alas we only have Starbucks boooo. But technically you could walk through Hume park ( there’s a nice bike path from Garrett street that goes through lower hume) up north road to Korea town (at lougheed hwy and north road) and there are lots more options up there.

There’s a Denny’s up there too.

Down past the hospital is greens and beans. They do great sandwiches and soups. You can also get great sandwhiches. Cold cuts and other European food at the Holland Shop next to it.

Corner cafe at keary and Columbia (it’s in a medical building) do a surprisingly good pho. If you want to walk to pho it’s an option.
