Eating and Drinking
Edmonton has 2000-odd restaurants , some of them very good. There's plenty in or near downtown, but if you want a bit of nocturnal zip to go with your meal you'd do best to head out to Old Strathcona , a vibrant district of cafe culture, nightlife and alternative arts located principally along 82nd (Whyte) Avenue between 102nd and 105th streets - any bus marked "Unive rsity Transit Centre" from 100th Street will get you there. Ethnic options - notably restaurants serving Edmonton's populations of Ukrainian and Eastern European origin - complement the standard Italian-influenced cuisine or steak-and-salmon offerings. Otherwise, the stalls in the downtown mall and streetfront snack bars are lively at lunch time, and all the usual fast-food, snack and breakfast options are available. Beer drinkers should be sure to try the local real ale, Big Rock.
