the corner of Cartwright St. Explore the Kids Market ( Click here ) and con-
sider one of the muppet-like puppets as a gift for a child.
Next weave eastwards along Cartwright. You'll start to see theaters and artisan
shops along here. Take a look at two of the best artisan studios: Crafthouse
( Click here ) , which has plenty of regionally made arts and crafts to tempt your
credit card; and, on the other side of the road, Gallery of BC Ceramics ( Click
here ) , which offers even more to choose from among artisan pottery - consider a
rustic teapot (maybe pick it up after you've finished your walk).
Duck along the little pathway beside the gallery and you'll hit the somewhat
hidden Railspur Alley ( Click here ). Peruse the excellent artsy stores here, in-
cluding the

Artisan Sake Maker ( Click here ) . Consider stopping for a three-

glass tasting.
Continue on via Old Bridge St and turn left onto Johnston St. Here you'll find
the Net Loft . It's lined with arts and crafts stores, including the ever-popular
Paper-Ya ( Click here ). Diagonally across the street from here is the entrance
to the Public Market ( Click here ). Dominating the area, it specializes in deli-
style food s talls - cheese-filled bagels recommended. When you've had your fill,
weave southwards from the market along Duranleau St. Within a couple of
minutes you'll be at the intersection with Cartwright St and the entrance to
Granville Island Brewing ( Click here ) . Take a tour or hit the Taproom for a pint.
