Broadway. At the intersection of Granville
and West Broadway, up from that road,
there ismore-eclectic shopping, shops that
aremore local.
What are some other eclectic places?
Gas-
town is one of the oldest areas of Vancou-
ver. It is just west of Chinatown. There’s a
steam-powered clock down by the water,
and there are artists who will sit on the
street andpaint, and you canbuy their art-
work. There are little art shops, souvenir
shops, and thatkindof thing. It’s rightnear
CanadaPlace. Iwould also go toCommer-
cial Drive. You are going to notice a theme
here that I have; my tastes are becom-
ing very obvious and apparent, but there
are lots of great, sort of hippie hideaways.
Little organic coffee shops and organic In-
donesian restaurants and things like that.
I think Commercial Street has so much
character, and, for me, if I were to go and
hang out somewhere now, I could totally
still hang out on Commercial Street and
assume that I wouldn’t get bothered too
much, because the people there are all re-
ally low-keyand very cool. Therewas a res-
taurant, just about two blocks down from
First Street, on Commercial Drive, and I
don’t know if it was Indonesian or African
or what it was, but I used to go there for
this one dish they served, which was basi-
callymashed-up spinachwith those Indian
salty crackers, the flat type that theymake.
Itwas one ofmy favoritemeals.
I know you had to watch what you spent
when you were living in Vancouver. But
where would you head for dinner now?
There is this really amazing, amazing res-
taurant in the West End that overlooks
English Bay and is right on the water. It
is slightly more pricey, and all its food is
from one of the neighboring Gulf islands.
