Concierge.com's insider take:
If you're looking to get away from the mainstream chains downtown, N.W. 23rd Avenue is the answer. Lined with upscale independent boutiques, this sweet little shopping street is much cozier than downtown and offers a more unpredictable assortment of wares. Start your stroll at the intersection with Lovejoy Street and head south toward Burnside Street. Along the way, you can succumb to the temptations at Compleat Bed & Breakfast, with its fine bed linens and sleepwear; ogle the shoes and chic women's apparel at Elizabeth Street and Zelda's Shoe Bar; and buy a present for the kids back home at Child's Play, a stocked-to-the-rafters toy store. Give yourself—and your credit card—a well-deserved break at Papa Haydn, which specializes in sophisticated American fare and over-the-top desserts, or stop for tiramisu gelato at Mio Gelato.
