Vancouver/East Van Attractions & Activities - The Best Holiday Destinations for 2020
East Vancouver is the area of Vancouver east of Ontario Street, a minor street just west of Main Street, the demarcation line where street addresses change from "east" to "west". East Van used to be considered more of a working-class area of Vancouver, however the area has become more gentrified as the Vancouver housing market develops.
East Van has some very happening areas. Commercial Drive, known locally as The Drive, is one of the most interesting areas of Vancouver in terms of ethnic and culinary diversity. There is also a strong artistic and activist community located in the Commercial Driver area. Main Street is also an interesting area for visitors and local; numerous coffee shops, antique stores and good quality (but well-priced) restaurants can be found on Main Street roughly between about 8th to 30th Avenues.
