Cute street - with some cute shops and restaurants and cafes.
Pretty much one of the main attractions in downtown charlottetown.
Good place to take photos as it does provide a quaint and cute look.
Worth stopping by if in the area.

Nice that this area is closed to vehicle traffic. Several restaurants and shops here offering interesting merchandise. The Duchess spent most of her money here...some great art pieces.

Located in the centre of Charlottetown, Richmond Row is part of Richmond Street that has been converted into a pedestrian zone. It features a selection of restaurants, pubs & shops all geared for tourists. It is good for a nice relaxing walk.

Victoria Row was a fun stop for us on our PEI tour. Especially the TD always on stage presentation of Kim Albert and her band. She had the whole audience in the palm of her hand as she is that good. A wide repertoire of songs perfectly executed She and her band are gifted musicians.

English-oriented arts and crafts, souvenirs and knock-knacks. A pleasure to browse through, passing the time and picking gifts.

What are the dates it is annually closed to traffic? "Summer months" I know it is pedestrian-only - any more specifics?

In 2016 it closed to traffic May 14th. I'm not sure the exact date it will open to traffic in the fall but we've been there as late as September 25th and it was still pedestrian only.

Where are the best PEI Mussels to be eaten at lunchtime?

I have had a lot of great mussels all over PEI, but my favourites have been at places with great food and especially genuine atmosphere--i.e. restaurants not owned by a corporate chain. Victoria row is one of my favourite places to go for the vibe and music, but it is not known for good food.
For mussels and any seafood, I would check out the "Mom and Pop" style places that are conservatively sprinkled around the Island.
In Charlottetown, at lunchtime:
- "The Water Prince Corner Shop" wins hands down for seafood: lobster, mussels, etc., home-made pies, etc..
- If you don't mind a slightly larger establishment with a charming Irish bar vibe (kids are ok until a certain hour in the evening), the Olde Dublin Pub has fabulous mussels and chowder. They USED to have an amazing all you can eat deal (sorry, you missed out).
- You can't do get better than mussels (or anything else) at Terre Rouge.
Elsewhere:
- North Rustico, check out "The Blue Mussel Café"--great mussels, but also the best (tastiest AND biggest) lobster roll I've ever had that wasn't made by my Mom.
- New Glasgow Preserve Company is a great lunchtime place, and you have to try their raspberry pie.
These are all great places to have mussels.
"The Pearl Eatery" in Rustico is amazing, but I've only eaten there for dinner.
As for my credentials, I lived for 20 years on the Island with foodie parents, and have been back for a few weeks every summer for the last 15.
