A good coffee from an Italian cafe and strolling along the Vancouver's artsy neighbourhood are two of my favourite things to do during a sunny day in Vancouver.
Commercial Drive, the Little Italy of Vancouver, is home to many really good restaurants, cafes and bars. This is the home of Italian espresso, gelato, wood fried pizza, micro breweries, pubs...
During the day you can shop in a number of boutique shops; during the night you can enjoy a number of pubs and live music venues in the neighbourhood.
The Drive is also home to the artists of Vancouver, making it a beautiful neighborhood. Just take a stroll along the street. You will find number of bars, cafes, bakeries and restaurants.
If there is one neighborhood you should not miss in your visit to Vancouver it is the Commercial Drive. Take a relaxing walk along the Commercial drive pop in to one of the theaters for a show while you are here!
