Answer 1

Check out East Hasting Street.

Answer 2

depends where you are coming from or what you like.. but there's lots to see and do.. urban stuff or nature stuff - or both - you decide..

I've lumped 'em together in areas of close proximity (but in no specific order otherwise)

1. Chinatown / Gastown / Sun yat Sen Gardens- there's a Chinatown night market on Keefer in Chinatown that's neat, Gastown's the "old town" they have a big musuem/ amusement park underground there as well as lots of tourist shops. There are some great boutiques in the area and on Cordova st.

2. North Shore, either Grouse Mtn or Capilano or Lynn Canyon (amazing views, mountains, etc)

3. Granville Island, (public market, artisans) Kits Beach, ("beautiful people") Vancouver Musuem, Maritime Museum (includes an indoor 19th century RCMP ice breaker the St Roche - first to cross the NorthWest Passage)

4. Stanley Park, Aquarium, 2nd / 3rd beach (a massive urban park, great beaches, amazing aquarium w. whales, fish, Amazon jungle)

5. Commercial Drive - hippies, stoners, dykes, Italians, Portugese and yuppies all mixed together.. good shopping and eats

6. English Bay / West end - gaybourhood, lots shopping eating, great sunset spot

7. Downtown / Robson St - Robsons got lots of shopping, and all the chi chi stores (on or around Robson like BetsyJohnson, Bebe, Chanel, Armani, Fila, Levis, Zara, etc etc) - Vancouver Art Gallery

8. UBC / Wreck Beach - UBC is the big university and has a spectacular native art mueum (Museum of Anthrolopolgy) and an impresive Japanese Garden (Nitobe).. for a walk on the wild side hike down the trails to Wreck Beach - which is the nudist beach -you can buy everythign from pre-rolled joints, to Margaritas to fresh food and enjoy an amazing view of the water and islands.

There is also a few open air tourist buses that can take you around many of these spots - it mightn't be a bad idea to look into - great way to get your bearings.

Answer 3

Visit Gastown, downtown Vancouver, the nearby mountains just over the Lions Gate Bridge, and then back into Vancouver and particularly to its southside for an extraordinary Chinese meal. To extend the gastronomic experience stop at the Cantonese deli 3 doors up from the corner of 41st and Victoria and pick up a homemade barbecued duck for the next day's lunch. And enjoy some B.C. wines - some of the whites are among the world's best but they are little known outside of the province.
