Vancouver’s Robson Street is famous for a reason. Not only does it have boutique shops and designer stops along each block, but it’s also one of the most bustling downtown areas in the city. Robson has something for everyone from kids to 20 somethings, business types and vacationers.

After hopping off the Trolley at the Blue Horizon Hotel, I walked down to Miko Sushi for some lunch. This is a great restaurant not only for the food but the atmosphere. The walls are covered in hockey memorabilia, jerseys and autographed photos. There’s a small TV by the sushi bar that is sure to have either the game or its highlights on, and the tables are always packed. For what is seemingly a hole in the wall sushi restaurant without a website, this is one of my favorite dining choices on Robson.

Aside from great restaurants, Robson Street wouldn’t be famous without its shopping. Along with everything from Armani, BCBG, Banana Republic and countless shoe stores, one of the busiest shops on Robson Street is Lululemon. Famous for their yoga-inspired apparel, this Vancouver company offers workout and casual wear perfect for the West Coast outdoor lifestyle.
