Known as the Art & Design District, West Queen West is
one of the most energetic and dynamic of Toronto's
neighborhoods. Along with its great modernist museums,
clubs, and restaurants, it's home to some of the
funkiest specialty shops, ranging from clothing to
stationary to collectables, and caters to niche and
vintage shoppers of all kinds. That makes it a mecca
for creatives, including hobbyists designers, writers,
...More
and painters. With ink on their hands and fabric pelts
in their bags, visitors to Queen Street traverse the
avant-garde blend of historic architecture and
ultra-contemporary fare. Home to some of Toronto's
chicest hotels and most modish java fixes, busy with
street cars, and always suffused with live music
drifting onto packed patios at bars and clubs by
nightfall, the vibrancy of West Queen West is
undeniable.
