I was feeling restless this afternoon so went for a walk to Kensington Market and back (about a 45 minute walk each way) while Gord snoozed.
Kensington Market is an eclectic neighbourhood with many different shops.
Here is a sampling along my walk ...
New and vintage clothing stores
Fruit and veggie markets
Cheese shops
Meat markets (European makes the best Italian sausages!)
Tom's Place is famous as a place to buy suits, etc. at lower prices
Bakeries
Fish markets
Apparently you can smoke weed at Roach-O-Rama
Dry goods like beans, nuts, etc.
Lots of restaurants
Work clothes
Dentists
Tattoos and piercings
And so much more!!
If you come to Toronto, a visit to Kensington Market should definitely be on your list of things to see!

Kensington Market looks like a vry fun charming place. I love areas like this where there are lots of different kinds of shops where you can do ALL your shopping but feel like you are getting things that are more special than you would in a Supermarket.....!
I love shopping in Kensington Market :) We make it a point to go every couple of months. Great pics Teena :)
poor gord. hope he gets some relief soon.
your walk looks really fascinating
It's a cool place, isn't it, Sue?
I've wanted to go to Kennsington Market since way back in the early 70's with "King of Kennsington". My daughter lives near there now, so I'll have to go visit soon!
wow, almost all establishments you can think of are already at kensington market.
I love this area, it reminds me of the Glebe in Ottawa! Took load of picture there last time I was in Toronto. It's a nice change from the financial district.
That's looks like a great place to going around. I totally enjoy these types of places.
How about the food that they serve in the restaurants? What are the typical dishes in your locale.
