Located in Toronto’s west end, this neighborhood has an equal combination of charm and grit. Artists, new immigrants, and young families all call Parkdale home, and its local businesses cater to a diverse crowd with eclectic interests. You’ll find vintage clothing shops, Tibetan restaurants, bespoke furniture designers and vinyl record stores, all on the same city block... some of which have been around for decades, and others that have popped up overnight. The architecture in the area is equally varied, with a mix of original Victorian mansions, commercial storefronts and high-rise apartment buildings.
Their focus on mid-century furniture in excellent condition sets the Queen West Antique Centre apart.
An endless expanse of curiosities and classic pieces.
Despite their cheeky name, Glory Hole take their donuts seriously. Within their brightly painted, Canadiana-themed shop (complete with snowshoes on the wall), you can sample delectable flavours like PB&J, Hibiscus Rose or even Toast and Butter. Glory Hole also offers vegan-friendly and gluten-free options that you’ll be sure to love, so opt for that full dozen, and grab a coffee or seasonal iced tea to wash them down.
