🌟❤️Kensington Market (1)
Kensington Market is said to have originated as a Jewish market in the 1920s. ✨ Over time, it has evolved into a melting pot of multiculturalism. What drew me in the most, apart from the food, was the unique street art. 🎨 ✨ Location: Get off at Queen's Park Station on Line 1 or take the 505 bus. It's not super close to the station (about 1 km+), but we walked over from the Art Gallery of Ontario, passing through Chinatown. ❤️ It took us about minutes on foot. 🚶♀️ 🧐 Unlike St. Lawrence Market, Kensington Market is primarily street-based, not an indoor food court with individual stalls. So, I highly recommend wandering around the surrounding lanes, which are filled with various shops and street scenes. 🌿 ❤️ Food: Taste delicious food from around the world, like Jamaican pies, Japanese takoyaki, and tacos. 🌮 ❤️ Shopping: Explore unique souvenir shops, supermarkets, and vintage clothing stores. 🛍️ ❤️ Street Art: The most impressive part is the incredibly creative street art—it’s a free expression of the city’s soul. BTW, this kind of neighborhood also attracts a diverse crowd (no offense intended). It has a bit of a New York street vibe. I won't go into detail, but just be mindful and avoid any potential issues. 🎨 ✨ Augusta Avenue is particularly special. 🌟 #Toronto #LifeInToronto #TorontoFood
