Visit Main Street by csauve
If you have never been to vancouver before and woud like to avoid the touristy thing, then I suggest meeting some of the young locals on MAIN street. Main street is where all the artsy people are and you can get a great cup of coffee to. The street is very large and spread out (this is Canada folks!) but between East 8th and 30th you will find really cool hole-in-the-wall boutiques such as Vintage clothing, antiques, small cafes, and local designer boutiques. Definatly visit Main Street!Davie Street. Davie Street is in the heart of the West End of vancouver. this is also known as the "gay village". The street has become less cool these days but there are still some cheesy shops along the strip and Vancouvers only good gay club "The Odysey" is located at Homer and Davie. Cheers to Davie
