Commercial Drive is always a hit

One Sunday afternoon, I had some free time, and the sun was out, so I decided to head down to one of my favourite neighbourhoods, The Drive (http://www.thedrive.ca/)

I always feel tied to the Drive because I grew up in East Van.  I always found the Drive a great blend of culture, good food and easy going attitude.  I love it so much, I included it in my Amazing Race contestant entry video 2 seasons ago!

I had no plans in mind, just to stroll in the sunshine and see what hit my fancy.  I always go into the stores to see what there is, Wander and Wonderbucks are always stores I like to get lost in; I was sad when Ten Thousand Villages closed.

I parked the car and as I walked by Tangent Cafe, I saw their chalkboard sign that said live music from 4 - 7; I just might have to come back and have a glass of wine there later.  At this point, it was too early to eat yet.  So many places to stop at: Grandview park to chill; ice cream parlours like Gelateria Dolce Amore which has the best non-dairy gelato I've tasted,  restaurants and pubs like no other, like Havana and BierCraft are some of my favourites.  One could totally have a pub crawl here and in fact, I did go to one for St. Patrick's Day a few years ago.

I would say that it's one of the best neighbourhoods in Vancouver to visit.
