Gastown is a neighborhood best seen at night when the lamps lining Water Street and the fairy lights in the trees glow. Fortunately, it’s an area known for its dining options, so it’s a perfect spot for dinner. For a fancy night of seafood, check out Water Street Cafe. The Lamplighter Public House is good for traditional pub fare, while Peckinpah serves Carolina-style barbecue. Besides its variety of restaurants, Gastown is also known for its history, as it’s the only neighborhood in Vancouver with a cobblestone street. Don’t leave without capturing Hotel Europe, which resembles the Flatiron Building in New York.
