Good mix of shops, cafes, bars and galleries in a former distillery complex. Can see some of the old equipment whilst visiting

This charming area of Toronto still has remnants of the distillery from which its name is derived. I love the cobbled stone streets- particularly as it makes you slow your step, relax and just enjoy the ambiance of this area. Stores are varied with many handmade and unique offerings.

There are several unique and delicious eateries and a... More

not a whole lot to do there really. Good place to spend serious money if you have it and are looking for unique items, otherwise, I wouldn't say to put it high on your "to see" list.
