Today, the most popular street in the Grandview-Woodlands area, forms the proud backbone of East Van.&nbsp; Italian delis like Grotta Del Formaggio (translation: cheese cave) and Bosa sell the best Buratta in town, while old-timey cafes like Joe\u2019s Caf\u00e9 Bar (lively, no frills, Portuguese) and Caf\u00e9 Calabria (lively &amp; decked out in faux Roman statuary) compete with their spare, modern counterparts like Prado and Spade.<\/p>\n<p>There is a distinct counter-culture vibe that permeates the \u2018hood despite the traditional Italian and Portuguese presence thanks to a generous offering of artists, musicians and political activists who also call the neighbourhood home. Though some gentrification has occurred as west side house prices have invariably nudged people eastward, Commercial has maintained its vitality and cultural diversity.<\/p>\n<p>This neighbourhood is anchored to the North by the vibrant Britannia Community Centre offering an array of programming, and the newer, slicker Trout Lake Community Centre to the South which has a skating rink and state of the art gym facilities. Both are hubs of activity for all ages.&nbsp; Trout Lake Farmer&#8217;s Market, located next to the Community Centre, runs Saturdays, April through October and offers Vancouverites one of the largest selections of organic produce growers and local producers of all kinds of delicious items.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>LOCATION<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Running North-South, Commercial Drive or, \u201cThe Drive\u201d as it is affectionately called, refers to the stretch running from Venables south to Broadway.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>LIVING<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Fill your pantry and fridge with some of the best tasting and best-priced food products in the city from all the delicious Italissima products at Bosa, to other Italian delicacies from Grotta Del Formaggio, or Santa Barbara market to fresh produce from &nbsp;Norman\u2019s Fruit &amp; Salad or Persia Foods Produce Market.<\/li>\n<li>The closest traditional grocery stores are Choices at Commercial &amp; Napier and No Frills on Hastings.<\/li>\n<li>Check out the renovated and recently re-opened <a href=\"https:\/\/www.havanavancouver.com\/\">Havana.<\/a>&nbsp; Enjoy a mojito or sangria cocktail with your Ropa Vieja and be transported to a steamy joint in old Havana.<\/li>\n<li>Tuck into the Havana Theatre and cap off your evening with an improv&nbsp;or comedy show.
