Culture on Commercial Drive
Off the beaten downtown path, between Broadway and Venables street lies Commercial Drive, an area rich in cultural diversity.
The area is easily accessible by SkyTrain, which has a stop at the intersection of Broadway and Commercial street.
The Drive (as locals call it) is an area in which you can find cafes, ethnic and organic grocery stores and restaurants featuring Italian, East Indian, Spanish, Thai, Korean, Mexican, Vietnamese and vegan cuisine.
There is a large hippy population that frequents the numerous health- conscious cafes and alternative clothing stores along this popular strip that continues to maintain a certain scruffy charm.
It is truly a laid back atmosphere with great dining and the best espresso, a great way to spend a sunny or rainy day!
