There are three distinct shopping sections. At the west end where Queen
and King Streets merge into the Queensway there are antiques and
vintage stores.
In the middle of the neighbourhood around Lansdown the shopping is a
bit bargain basement, with thrift and dollar stores.
In
the east between Dufferin and Lansdown is the more boutiquey type
shopping plus Designer Fabrics (a favourite of Sarah Richardson).
This is also where you will find Parkdale's bar scene with the Rhino
and Stones Place to name a few.
