First Impression Review of Sunshine Diner in Vancouver, BC

My first impression review of Sunshine Diner in Vancouver, BC? "Wow! I love this diner!"
A special fifties milkshake outing was planned by our Recreation Director where I live at a Seniors Retirement home. My friend, Donalda, and I were looking forward to going as we are both big fans of all the trivia of the nifty fifties. Neither one of us had been to the Sunshine Diner before. We were not disappointed. The Sunshine Diner was full of fabulous fifties 'eye candy' decor! Oh, and yes, the milkshake was thick and creamy and served in the true fifties style.
I am so glad that I took my camera with me as I was able to capture some great first impression moments at the Sunshine Diner. Donalda and I made a mini tourist vacation out of our little trip and had so much fun snapping pictures and pointing to and talking about all the fifties stars on the wall. Join us.

While enjoying the fabulous decor you will want to try the Fat Elvis burger with their famous 50's homemade milkshakes!
