Kitsilano
Kitsilano has long been a trendy neighbourhood for fringsters and ultra-cool professionals. The commercial heart of this area is focused along 4th Avenue and West Broadway. On 4th you will find a diverse mix of urban home furnishing stores, hip book stores and some of Vancouver's best kept dining secrets. Broadway is home to clothing stores with the newest fashions, a small, but bustling number of Greek delis and restaurants as well as a bevy of produce stores. Just east of Burrard Street is an emerging neighbourhood of outdoor sports stores. It is a great place to stock up before hitting the slopes.
