Kitsilano is an interesting shopping area and neighbourhood that was a major haven for hippies in the 1960s. Today, retail stores peddling kitchenware, clothing, home furnishing, books, and sporting goods have usurped the former bohemian character. Traces can still be found, however, in some of the eclectic shops and vegetarian restaurants such as Môtiv, Kaya Kaya, Sophie's Cosmic Cafe and the Naam. Some of Vancouver's top restaurants, like Bishop's and Lumiere can be found here also.
