One of Vancouver's food centres! This place has amazing food and an amazing crowd. There are a lot of arts and small shops. I definitely recommend everyone to go to Granville island. This place is still good to go even if its raining. However, it's more livelier when its sunny and in the summer. This place is also very great to walk at night and enjoy the amazing view of false creek. There also comedy and music shows here too!
