Commercial Drive, better known as "The Drive" is a community that encompasses all nationalities, occupations and political views. "The Drive" is what city living is meant to be. It is a place where Old World meets with the New. This is truly evident in every storefront and every face on the street. This is beyond any doubt a unique and authentic community that enjoys life with all its glorious tastes, smells and colours.
“The Drive” is all of these things and more. It’s an exciting marketplace with a vast variety of fresh meat, fish and produce on display most everyday of the year. An international bazaar of cafes, unique specialty shops and eclectic boutiques. An entertainment centre offering live music, street festivals and alternative theatre at the renowned Vancouver East Cultural Centre.
It is no wonder that “The Drive” has been deemed, ‘Vancouver’s most diverse and vibrant neighbourhood’. It is a place where you can enjoy some the City’s best in restaurants, coffee houses, shopping and European style delicatessens and patisseries.
