If the Pacific Northwest foodie-ism of Portlandia has been stoking your appetite for locally-grown and harvested yumminess, put Vancouver's Granville Island Public Market on your to do list, stat.

The formerly industrial, now artsy neighborhood of Granville Island gets a lot of tourist traffic but it also draws locals shopping for anything pulled fresh from the ocean, the ground and the oven, thanks to the Public Market.

Of course, trawling through a market while traveling is one of life's greatest joys, even when you're not able to wrap up a whole salmon and shove it in your carry-on. We're not usually fans of guided tours but when a tour promises to introduce us to some of the best vendors of cheese, tea, bread, sausage and chocolate--and let us sample their wares--we're all over it.

Which is why we love the concept of Edible Canada's Granville Island Market Tour.

Things must be getting pretty serious between Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, considering he brought her to Vancouver to celebrate Christmas with his family.

The couple was spotted at the Original Cupcake Shop on Denman Street where they bought cupcakes and a small cake earlier this week. One of the store's employees told People, "They seemed like a really sweet couple."]]> cmb 2011-12-22T13:11:51-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2011/10/6/104454/762

Amy Adams attracted some unwanted attention while collecting her luggage at Vancouver International Airport. The actress proved she's a master multi-tasker as she scolded the paparazzi while pushing her own luggage cart through the terminal.

Amy is in town to continue work on Superman: Man of Steel, which has moved from Chicago, where they were filming this summer, to Vancouver Island.

Earlier this week Amy's co-stars, Russell Crowe and Henry Cavill, were spotted filming on Main St in Ucluelet, where the cast will continue filming through Friday.

New Moon has such a hold on the world right now that even Martha Stewart admitted to having dreams about Robert Pattinson. The movie's cast hasn't been helping matters either with a media blitz that has taken them around the world, but let's not forget where it all started, in Vancouver.

The "New Moon" movie was filmed in Vancity last spring and its stars seemed to make the most of their time there. Check out a few of their favorite spots and find out how you can see them all for yourself: ]]> cmb 2009-11-20T13:04:30-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2009/10/22/11259/906

It's official; filming of Eclipse in Vancouver is coming to a close. On Tuesday, the movie's director, David Slade tweeted, "Just one week and a few days to go to complete principle photography, the finish line seems still so far." It probably can't come soon enough for Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart who get stalked daily by fans and paparazzi. A higher up at Summit (the film's production company) told E!, "Civilians are flying in all over the world to hunt down whoever they can find. It's bad. Literally [Rob and Kristen] have no choice but to stay inside."

It's gotten so bad, the couple has reportedly holed up together at the Sheraton Wall Centre and spends most of their time watching movies or listening to music when they aren't filming. It sounds like they have a pretty sweet set up though so we don't feel too bad for them. Apparently, they have two separate hotels rooms joined by a door plus a third suite on the same floor where they can watch TV on a huge flat screen. ]]> cmb 2009-10-22T11:39:29-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2009/9/10/10245/8755

Young women (and a few men) are still flocking to Vancouver with hopes of getting a glimpse of theTwilight cast who are there filming the third installment of the series, Eclipse. But, finding exactly where they're filming has proven to be more difficult than most would have imagined.

On Tuesday, the Vancouver Sun did confirm they were filming at Capilano Regional Park but they also reported there were no signs of Kristen Stewart or Robert Pattinson. We also know they filmed the movie's big graduation scene on August 28th at David Thompson Secondary School which stands in as Forks High in both New Moon and Eclipse. ]]> cmb 2009-09-10T10:24:05-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2009/8/17/10442/0837

Do you hear that? Perhaps it's too high-pitched for human ears; It's the excited squee of Twi-Hards around the world as the third movie in The Twilight Saga, Eclipse, begins filming in Vancouver today.

Even though they just arrived last week, the cast has already gotten in some quality time together. First, at Miko Sushi, 1335 Robson St, where Robert Pattinson, Kristin Stewart and the rest of the cast had a pre-production dinner party Friday night. Miko's is one of Vancouver's most popular Japanese restaurants, so its always crowded but the service is fast and the portions are large. Most entrees, like their Tuna Nigiri, run between $10 and $15. ]]> cmb 2009-08-17T11:19:36-05:00 Search Jaunted string http://www.jaunted.com/search/
