Granville Island Market Reviews

I have been to Granville Island. I will go again. Eventually. I worked on the Island and I, well it wasn't pretty but everything is okay now.
Island is a good place for a first date. Could be good place to see the ex.
I don't know. Food, beverage, and entertainment. In a trendy setting. Good looking people. Maybe dogs. Pets. Maybe it's not raining

Granville Island Market Reviews
This place kind of reminds me of Pike Place Market, but more covered.
I came here with my orchestra buds on the last day of our orchestra trip, as well as to pick up a late lunch.
We explored the area, and browsed food shops, snack carts, candy shops, drink stands, produce carts, ice cream and bakeries.
I decided to get a piece of 'big island' pizza from a random pizza place. It was a generous slice. Fresh, hot, with a soft and fluffy crust. Probably the fluffiest crust I've ever had. The toppings were a mix of cheeses, oregano, pineapple, and Canadian bacon. I'm a huge fan of Hawaiian pizza, and this was pretty good!
My other friends got pizza too, as well as fish & chips, Chinese food, sushi, and bubble tea.
There was a lot of entertainment going on, and it was so fun to watch it all.
I'd come back!

Granville Island Market Reviews
Beautiful waterfront...
Eclectic mix of stores, eateries, bakery, ice cream store and .. IMPROV!!! =D *love improv shows*
My friend and I went here at night...when the cityscape behind the waterfront is lit up... WOW spectacular and the bridge is beautiful!!!
An interesting thing that we saw was that one of the bakeries was passing out leftover bread to those who wanted it at the end of the day... huge crowd of people gathered there.
Beware of birds!
Paid parking only... parking overall in Vancouver isn't great.
