Cafes,Pubs,Restaurants,Shops,& people watching, you couldn't ask for more, Whyte Ave is best compared to Commercial Drive in Vancouver, mixed with a little bit of Graniville & Robson; it has something for everyone, with all the festivities, the food trucks on Thursdays,the Market on Saturdays, there is always something going down!!

Grab a coffee, tea or latte and begin to wander. There is a wide array of stores for all interests. Be sure to stop and sample some the pastries or ethnic cuisine. One block north is the Farmers market and several "water holes". More
