Kensington Market Toronto Neighbourhood Shopping

I remember the first time I visited Kensington Market Toronto. It was not long after I moved here. I knew in general where it was but I just kindof winged it after I got off the subway.

I now know I ended up on the wrong street to see anything more than a few food stalls and didn't venture far enough to see all of the Kensington Market area.

Toronto's Kensington Market is a mixture of residential, food markets, restaurants and shopping. The main shopping throughfare is found along Augusta Avenue but you can find shops on Nassau and Kensington.

Food wise you will find gourmet burger joints, Mexican food and many vegitarian restaurants. The neighbourhood is bordered by Spadina to the East which means Chinatown is in close proximity; you will see its influence the closer to Dundas you walk.

Many of the small grocery stores and food stalls line Baldwin Street.

Visiting the Kensington Market area is a must any time of the year but even better during the summer months with pedestrian Sundays.

Two of the vintage stores along Kensington Ave were recommended by Jeanne Becker of FT fame; Courage my Love and Flashback.
