The area
Neighborhood: North End
The North End is a nucleus of specialty food restaurants and shops, especially around its Mount Pleasant Village area. Frequented by antiquers for its numerous collectable shops, furniture spots, and oddity stores, the North End is a maverick of the quaint and quality. Vintage toy stores, accessory shops, and cinemas welcome perusers to step back in time, while the wide pedestrian squares and the large medical and business community inject it with a dose of modernity. With numerous cafes and Toronto's greatest number of independent booksellers, it isn't uncommon to see folks in this area at their leisure, reading outdoors and in eateries, and taking life a bit more slowly – even if it's only during their lunch break.

Yonge Street runs through downtown Toronto in a north-south direction. The busiest section is near the Dundas subway station. In addition to large shopping malls, there are also vibrant performance plazas and dazzling large electronic screens. In addition, there are many business malls The restaurant in the middle of the night makes this place more and more lively as the night goes on.

I like Yonge Street! I think it gets a bad rap for things that any big city would struggle with. Yes there are homeless people and yes it’s packed all the time. But it’s also fun!! There is so much to see and it really feels like you’re in the middle of everything.

On our recent visit we were on this street several times from Harbourfront to Carlton. Lots to see, lots of cafes restaurants bars and access to Eaton Centre from the street. The part from Dundas Square to Carlton Street has been cleaned up considerably since our first visit in 1993, but there are still some not so nice parts, but it is worth strolling through. We miss Sam The Record Man record shop, but the logo is featured on a superb mural near Gerrard Street and the neon sign from the shop is at Dundas Square. Interesting busy street.

Whilst the food was good, the prices are ridiculously high. Worst of all you, cannot have a conversation as the place is so noisy and added to that there is loud music. The owner has no clue about using acoustic materials to absorb the sound. Would never go back.

Yonge is great for young adults: all the way from Dundas Square to North of Ryerson. Just outside the doors of Eaton’s Centre are musical entertainers at Dundas, and I picked up healthy food at Sushi Burrito on the North side near Chipotle Mexican. Just beside there (and extending to Gould Street) is World Food Market. I bought Mexican fish tacos; Nepalese/Tibetan, Middle Eastern, and you’ll see a Korean Galleria supermarket with prepared food across Yonge Street. Every kind of food stand can be seen…it’s better than the food court at Eaton’s Centre shopping mall. Despite the paucity of seating, there’s limited parking on Gould and groups of people milling about outdoors. Masks are required, and credit card (tap) is accepted.

We love Younge Street. Here you’ll find everything from shopping and restaurants, to street performers and other forms of entertainment. We have several favorite restaurants on this street. The performers and live music is always fun to see. We could spend a nice chunk of the day here.

Younge Street seems to be where most of the action is. Here you’ll find everything from shopping and restaurants, to street performers and other forms of entertainment. Their are many places that offer free WiFi if needed. Because of everything this street/area has to offer, it could easily be considered a tourist trap. That being said, it doesn’t deter from venturing around this area every time I visit Toronto. Theirs something for everyone here.

This is supposed to be one of the main streets in Toronto and maybe they should start treating it like that. It was dirty, which might be from the lack of garbage and recycling containers. Worse of all, pedestrians don’t appear to have the right of way, in other words, when the light changes to walk, run fast to cross the street. During rush hour it was worse. The other annoying thing was the number of people texting and walking and not paying attention. This is a problem in a lot of places, but if you want to act like a world class city, you have a campaign warning people, just like they did in London, England.

The impact of cannabis in Toronto cannot be understated and especially in the upper sections of Yonge Street. The smell is very strong and there are loads of people lying on the floor or begging. Even on the public transport you can be pestered and disturbed by people on a high.
If you are going and require a hotel I suggest you select one near to the water front or Union Station and thus avid most of Yonge Street.

Walking up and down Yonge Street in downtown Toronto is a must-do! Running from the lakefront and the downtown business district northward, it is filled with people and history and restaurants and shopping and more right on the street and on the streets that cross this main thoroughfare. Walkable at all times of day. Don't miss walking at night when the buildings are lit up! Check out the Yonge-Dundas Square! And the Eaton Centre for all your shopping needs.

Youge Street, within Toronto, runs from Lake Ontario to Hwy 401. This is about 25 km. It is actually the longest street in the world at 86 km.
