Toronto Most Colorful Neighborhood

By Tanvi Rastogi @tanviidotcom


Kensington Market is located in the heart of Toronto. It is the most vibrant and diverse neighborhood in the area. There is so much to do and explore like quirky shops, organic grocery stores, restaurants & bars, art galleries and coffee shops. Ask one hundred people what is great about the Market, and you will get more than a hundred answers.

Walking out of China town, and take a turn in one of the streets to find yourself in a neighborhood where cultural diversity is a day to day reality: Rasta people, latinos, asian, alternatives, new wave youth, shoppers ... you name it!


 
The Market can be a real treat for foodies. There are some good cheese shops, butchers, and ethnic food stores, some of which have food stalls inside where you can grab an inexpensive snack. There are also some cafes and full-service restaurants scattered through the market, including a couple of vegetarian/vegan places.   
The houses, the shops and everything around seem to have a history to tell, a soul.
 
The Market is an older neighborhood and one of the city's most well-known. In November 2006, it was designated a National Historic Site of Canada.  
Sundays are pedestrian only, hence, no cars are allowed in the streets. You can find bands playing different kinds of music: sitar, funky bands, reggae, punk along the side walk.
Kensington Market is a community in it's own. When you are visiting and have an afternoon to spare, you must visit it. You won't be disappointed! Timings: 11:00am to 7:00pm
