One of Vancouver's best specialty ice cream spots. Busy, trendy, interesting flavours. I prefer Mario's Gelato, two blocks North but it doesn't have the same popular vibe.

This restaurant is a short 5 minute drive away or 12 minute walk. This block on Main Street has a bunch of restaurants in a row but I like this one. This area North of Main is safe but a bit sketchy. Food is casual but refined Italian. There is a bar in the back of the restaurant if the restaurant is full. Best menu items are the Margherita pizza, the Cecci (deep fired chick pea snack with lemon) and the prosecco. Open late.

Drinks & Nightlife
This bar is right at the end of the block - although super hard to find. There is a building across from the auto body shop and the entrance is slightly hidden. It looks a bit sketchy down a long narrow stairwell to the basement but it's great once you get inside. Dark, sultry with drinks, bar food, record player. Good tacos.

Arts & Culture
This is Vancouver's main art gallery. It has changing exhibits as well as an impressive permanent collection. Best kept secret: the gallery cafe is located upstairs from the lobby (or you can access outside by walking up the main concrete gallery steps off of Robson street. You do not need to have a ticket to the exhibits to lunch here and it is a great spot. Live classical or jazz music on weekends and if you are here in the summer the patio is fabulous. Casual food and refined atmosphere. Well priced.
