Great shopping. Awesome new food to try. Lots of stuff to watch. There's something for everyone, of every age, at this diverse market. You can also see how the predominantly European and East Asian cultures of the city mix...and, how fantastic the results are.

If you come from somewhere where chain stores are limited, and you like chain stores, Metrotown is where you should go. Additionally, if you come from somewhere where North American shoes are expensive, you will find what you are looking for here.

There are not many locations of this chain in North America (as of 2015, this is the only Canadian location), and you can load your suitcase with reasonable - and, unreasonable - souvenirs/gifts for everyone you left at home very quickly. Nobody will ever know the gift cost you only $2.

Some of the city's most well-known Italian restaurants, cafes and grocers are on Commercial drive. Though it's known as Vancouver's 'little Italy, the Drive has more than enough diversity to go around. If you're into great food, relaxed atmosphere and locals then the Drive is for you.

The store selection is much more limited than at Metrotown (check ahead to make sure the store you want to visit is there), but there are far fewer people here than at other malls. The sales are often a bit better, too (notably, at the beginning/end of seasons).

It is a small boutique shop on Commercial drive, and you might find some unique clothing from local designers. It is also one of the more affordable stores (if you exclude the vintage stores) on The Drive. You're also going to find a lot of waterproof shoes here (incase you forgot yours). The clothing is also high-quality

Shopping and vacationing go hand in hand for me, so a visit to Vancouver would not be complete without a pop in to this shop. Score killer deals on denim, shoes, jackets, and everything in between! Hunter and Hare also sells brand spanking new things too that are from the Vancouver area. They truly are living like a local at this beyond cute shop.
