Vancouver highlights? Begining of Alaskan cruise.

[sirarthur]

My DW and I will be taking the Veendam to Alaska on July 23 and will be staying in Vancouver for three days before boarding. We have been there before...taken the ferry to Victoria, had high tea at the empress and went to lovely Bushart Gardens. However we have not explored the city of Vancouver to any great extent...just Stanley Park. Does anyone have advice regarding interesting, perhaps not generally known, sites of interest and things to do? Also, any suggestions on commendable restaurants? We have enjoyed the Cannery in the past...any others?
