温哥华的South Granville街(指5街和16街中间)

9. South Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia

Why This Street Rocks: Gallery Row features boutiques and great restaurants. South Granville between 5th and 16th Street is comprised of art galleries, cafes, unique boutiques and expensive designer chain stores, making this a distinct and inviting neighbourhood. Strollers can visit 15 different art galleries or just indulge in some serious retail therapy for blocks. Two of Vancouver’s best restaurants are on or just off of Granville. Vij’s (1480 West 11th Avenue) and West (2881 Granville) are outstanding and well known. Other spots include casual cafes and coffee houses to choose from.

Top Attraction: Vij’s, Canada’s most famous Indian restaurant and the 2012 No. 1 restaurant in the country, draws diners from around the world.

Where to Shop: You can shop for lingerie, designer clothing, and any accessory you need from stores like Anthropologie (2912 Granville) to Zebraclub (3101 Granville). South Granville Street has great home design shopping too from Bombay & Co. (2536 Granville) to Restoration Hardware (2555 Granville Street).
Hidden Gem: In 2007, the South Granville BIA (Business Improvement Association) celebrated its centennial by burying a time capsule in the sidewalk in front of the then-Stanley Theatre (2750 Granville). It reads: ”South Granville, Bridge to 16th,Centennial Time Capsule, Celebrating 100 years of Retail 1907 – 2007 sealed August 2, 2007 by the Merchants of South Granville Business Improvement Association to be opened August 2, 2107.”

Historic Events: The renovated Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage is the flagship venue of the Arts Theatre Company. The venue was originally the Stanley Theatre, which opened in December of 1930 with a screening of Lilian Gish’s first talkie One Romantic Night.

Denman 街
16. Denman Street, Vancouver, British Columbia

Why This Street Rocks: At the southern end of the street is English Bay and the beauty of Vancouver’s stunning landscape, featuring ocean and mountain views.
Top Attraction: The beach.

Where to Eat: Raincity Grill (1193 Denman Street) is consistently outstanding, with exceptional seafood dishes and one of Vancouver’s most well-known brunch spots. For those with sweet tooths, Cupcakes (1168 Denman Street) has a massive fan base. Also a hit is independently owned Basil’s Subs (1114 Denman Street) for delicious choices that will ensure you never eat at Subway again.

Hidden Gem: Devonian Harbour Park at the foot of Denman Street features a historical marker that covers the key periods of the West End neighbourhood’s history and significance to the city’s growth.

Historic Event: In 1859, British Royal Navy captain George Henry Richards named Coal Harbour, the northern waters off the shore of Vancouver. Denman Street begins at the harbour.

Vacay.ca Visuals Editor Julia Pelish says: Denman Street is delightful from north end to south, thanks in large part to the public spaces that bracket it. To the west is Stanley Park and English Bay is on the south side while Coal Harbour is on the north, with the seawall circling the city. Denman is that rare street that blends urban life with nature.
