(05/05/2014) Travel: Canada "Pick-your-own strawberries", by Rebecca "Becky" Dalzell April 4, 2014. New York Magazine Country: Pemberton. Re-Posted by Myson Effa: Manger: Pemberton Gateway Village Suites Hotel Drive two and half hours north along the sea-to-sky highway, winding past waterfalls and snow-capped ¬mountains and the busy exits for Whistler, before reaching the ¬hyperfertile valley of Pemberton. One of the sources of the area's beef and producrrounded town has caught on among locavores in the past few years, becoming Vancouver's answer to the North Fork. Base yourself at the rustic Pemberton Gateway Village Suites (from $109; pemberton¬gatewayvillagesuites.com) for stunning views of Mount Currie; downstairs at the porch-front Mile One Eating House, the juicy burgers are made with Pemberton Meadows beef and the rolls come from the around-the-corner Blackbird Bakery. Ten minutes outside town-drive or cycle through the fir-shaded bike trails (rentals from $36 a day at the Pemberton Bike Co.)-you can pick your own organic strawberries at North Arm Farm. Or, if you happen to be there on August 16, join Araxi Restaurant's annual Longtable Dinner, where 150 guests dine on four courses, like smoked sockeye salmon with beets and arugula flowers. http://images.nymag.com/travel/2014/spring/travel140407_vietnam_560.jpg http://nymag.com/travel/2014/spring/vancouver-pemberton-canada/ ..
