Three things few outsiders realize about Vancouver’s West End:

1. It’s home to one of the world’s largest concentrations of gay men.
2. Denman Street has a crazy number of excellent, cheap, ethnic restaurants. My favourite? Banana Leaf Malaysian. 2nd place goes to Ma Dang Col Korean.
3. There are few through-streets. Streets were blocked off in the 70s, supposedly to stop prostitution. It seems to have worked!
