Mostly residential, the easygoing West End offers gay bars in Davie Village, chic fashion stores on Robson Street, and diverse dining ranging from ramen shops to seafood grills. It’s also the gateway to vast Stanley Park, known for its forested trails and Seawall waterfront path. The area’s public art includes the A-maze-ing Laughter sculpture, featuring 14 cast-bronze figures, and the Inukshuk, a stone Inuit statue. ― Google
