Hipster Taco Burbon Bar! The food and drinks are off the hook. Usually a line up in the evenings but they will take your phone number and you can hit the brew pub (Duggan's) on the corner while you wait. Love this place.

Great little bohemian market that is slowly being taken over by the hipster crowd. A good time to visit before the scale tips. From fish mongers to gourmet tacos, this street market neighbourhood is a most unique place.

The Leslie street spit is comprised of reclaimed land from Old Toronto, some of it only as old a last week. As older buildings are torn down, much of the concrete brick waste is used to grow the spit. A nature preserve and sanctuary for hundreds of birds, there are walking trails which give a number of different vantage points of the city
