Queen St is still a place to visit. When I was in high school and we headed into Toronto it was the place we gravitated for. Back then it was all vintage stores and smaller retailers. Most of them have been pushed out by larger chain retailers, but it is still a great place to go. There are so many... More

These streets are the two ends of the streetcar ride I take often. My beach end is smal, friendly townlike and the Roncey end is like the 60's. In between is Yonge st (Eaton Centre) old and new city halls, the entertainment area, parks and art studios all areas unique and supported by the ammenities needed for life. More

The artists are fleeing west, but that just makes Queen Street great all the way along. Check out the graffiti in the alleys to the north, between University and Spadina.Crafts start past Bathurst -- many, many bead shops, Romney Wool, the Japanese Paper Shop. More

Had a friend from Elkridge, Maryland visit the other weekend and took the Queen 501 streetcar from the Long Branch Loop to Neville Park and return.. One gets to experience the sights and sounds from the streetcar to view this part of Toronto. Bought an all day pass so that we could get off and on the streetcar to check... More

Queen Street, particularly Queen Street West is a gold mine for fashion lovers. There are so many great shops that you could spend an entire weekend combing through all of them finding pieces you want. There are also so many great restaurants in the area! Definitely a must go to. More

Full of art galleries and trendy shops and reasonable restaurants. Take a nice day and start walking from Dufferin Street and go east towards Yonge street. It is best to do this from Wednesday to Saturday when the galleries are open. More

My walk through the city to get there was very pleasant with many historical sites to see. Once there I have to say I was disappointed, not what I expected. I definitely prefer the Yorkville area for browsing. More

Great area to walk during the late afternoon/evening. Fabulous little shops and great places to eat. Entertaining people performing on the side walks. A neat part of Toronto to visit. More
