Lots of distractions while the women shop. I did happen upon Blackbyrd Myoozik, picked up some vinyl I couldn't find in Vancouver.

Always love to stroll the Avenue in spring and summer. Great for funky gifts or just for people watching. Love to go to the Farmer's market on saturdays.

small shops were packed with quality instruments. Quaint, friendly coffee shops, book stores,etc Whyte avenue has a different atmosphere than the rest of the city.

and taking int he sites! Interesting shops, but my favorite is people watching! Grab a beverage from any of the many coffee places in the area and people watch. Love the Art Walk one of my favorite festivals!

Whyte Ave is an OK spot when the sun is shining. Some interesting shops, the usual chain coffee joints, unoriginal and uninsipred restaurants. Not a bad place to spend an afternoon, but I've seen it done better in almost every major city I've been to. For Edmonton, which has little to no cosmopolitan appeal, it's really the only show in...

Great area to go on a nice day. Grab a coffee, meal or just stroll down the street. Some good festivals in the area as well

I love visiting Whyte Ave when I am in Edmonton for shopping and the restaurants but wish they had better parking and more hotels close by.

My wife & I went there last Saturday and had a great time walking down Whyte Avenue, window shopping right around the evening time. We stopped in for a few drinks and checked out most of the pubs. It was a wonderful outing

This is the main street to visit when in town. You have many bars and places where you get a drink or food or simply go for a walk. It is arguably Edmonton, AB's High Street. But sometimes it can get dangerous because of troublemakers, late in the night. But police is always nearby to protect you.

Great place to shop and eat and socialise - the bars come alive after dark and there's plenty of local characters out and about. Lots of history too if you chat to those in the know. Easily accessible from downtown and lots of decent accommodation places too.
