Vancouver Commercial Drive is a culturally rich and authentic Latino neighborhood with eight officially designated "Little Italy" neighborhoods, representing more than 60 years of Italian heritage. This cultural hub, four blocks north and four blocks south of 1st Avenue, features a number of Italian-influenced restaurants, tailor shops, shoe stores, delicatessens, espresso coffee bars, and other businesses selling Italian goods. Today, it has become a multi-cultural commercial centre and become one of the most vibrant and culturally exciting streets in the city.
