Vancouver Things to Do Tips by mbsimjam

Do the Drive Commercial Drive Review

Commercial Drive is a very good place to find out how Vancouver was built. In that, I mean, you will find shops, restaurants, etc. serving cuisines from all over the world, which shows just how multicultural Vancouver is. The eclectic vibe this street evokes creates a perfect venue for a tastebud playground. Some of Vancouver's best restaurants are on this street, and just walking down the street is an experience in itself.

Generally, the best thing to do is to go there for dinner (one of the many great restaurants) and then walk up and down for a while in the evening. See some of my other tips for restaurants hidden on The Drive.

Address: Commercial Drive, Vancouver

Directions: East from the bridge streets (Granville, Cambie, etc) about 15 - 20 blocks. Go straight down Broadway or 12th Ave.

Welcome to the Island of fun! Granville Island Review

Granville Island is a great place to spend the day. You can browse the shops, chill out on the deck, watch the boats on False Creek and just generally relax. There are many festivals happening on Granville Island all year round, and some great food to eat. It is just a great place with a lot of action and fun for adults (Granville Island Brewery) and Kids (the large children's area is great for them).

Directions: Underneath the Granville St. Bridge.
