Robson Street: ROOTS!
FlirtyFlorida
  • Updated By FlirtyFlorida on August 22, 2004
  • Vancouver Page by FlirtyFlorida
  • ROOTS is hands down one of my favourite stores in Canada! They have clothing for both men and women, and also children. They are very "Canadian"

    Note: They have a few different locations.

    Robson Street: Virgin Megastore

  • While I am generally not an advocate of chain stores, and most especially MEGA chainstores, I mention the Virgin Megastore in Vancouver because of it's cool and eclectic selection of books. While they did not have as many books as a bookstore might the ones they did have were great, ranging in subject from all types of music to obscure and cultish topics such as the history of Absinthe and pictoral studies of the Burning Man festival. They also sell Cd's, as you probably already know.

    There is a little of everything on Robson Street, from great fashion boutiqes and restaurants to t-shirt shops and cafes. The stores are all unique unto themselves and if you can't find anything that you want to buy, watching the fashionistas stroll past is almost as much fun as a new pair of Franco Sarto sandals (almost).

    Robson Street: Secrets of shopping in Vancouver
    beccabug

  • Alot of people think that Robson Street is where it's at when shopping in Vancouver. As a tourist it's definitely worth a stroll, if only to people watch. Many people come here to see and be seen. It's very entertaining. But basically most of the shops here can be found in the malls. SO, if you are looking for cool and interesting clothes I would recommend heading off to Main street around Broadway, or even Commercial Drive.

    Robson Street is a hip area full of shops, bookstores an restaurants. The area bustles especially in the evening.

    Not really a shp so much as a street. On weekendsRobson street is easily the biggest avenue in all of Vancouver. Alot of interesting stores along here wig shops, many clothing outlets (aritzia, roots, gap, banana republic etc.), sushi restaurants, a creperie, ice cream stores, Lush, the uber popular Virgin megastore and oh ya and starbucks, boy are there starbucks. It is quite a site to see one giant Starbucks directly kiddie korner to another giant starbucks! And two blocks down the street is another starbucks!!! Apparently the starbucks pictured here is the most profitable one in the World! It is kind of riduclous how trendy downtwon has become actually!

    Along here clothes and a frappucino seems to be the standard. But why not stop in and buy some fridge magnets (there's a whole store dedicated to them) or a wig!

    Trendiest places - expensive ($80 canadian and up) and down the line from there (average at roots might be $40?). I can tell you that a grande caramel frappucino will run you 410 plus tax, what a deal...

    Robson Street: Robson Square (Downtown Vancouver)

    Robson Square starts with the New Courthouse, a massive slope of glass covering the Law Courts. The Courthouse opens up into a public space with a waterfall, trees and many stairs - the gathering point of young people in the summer - that descent to a lower level with restaurants, conference rooms and a skating rink. Arthur Erickson, the complex's architect, showed the world with this structure that highrises are not the only solution for inner cities. Robson Street, busiest pedestrian thoroughfare in Greater Vancouver, used to be called "Robsonstrasse" when it was more European-themed, but it's been homogenized in recent years. High energy street, and great for people-watching
