The Hood

Don’t put all your eggs in Good Egg’s basket – there’s plenty else to do in the neighbourhood. Kensington Market is no slouch when it comes to food culture.

The streets and sidewalks are lined with food: fresh produce, breads, meats, seafood, cheeses, spices. Most shops open early and close just before dinnertime.

Not in the mood to cook? The Market is full of places to sit, eat, and people watch. The wanderlust might prefer to grab an empanada, roti or one of Wanda’s tasty sandwiches to chomp ‘n’ walk.

For culture cravings, This Ain’t the Rosedale Library will satisfy your fiction addiction, and a stroll down Kensington Avenue’s double strand of vintage and thrift clothing shops will keep your hands busy as you think of your next meal.
