Drinks & Nightlife
This nearby Tiki Bar has a great selection of local craft beers, but are known (& loved) for their cocktails. Almost every syrup is made on site, and they are always happy to chat with & recommend drinks (even off menu drinks) to customers. Food, aside from cheese plates, is generally not available.
This is my favourite bar in the neighbourhood.

Getting Around
TTC fare is $3.25, however if you know you're going to be taking the TTC more than 3x in one day, or are travelling with another adult, it's worth getting a day pass from a ticket agent at the station.

Food Scene
This butcher shop is a great place to pick up handmade delicious sausages, local, ethically raised/sourced meat & seafood or, you heard me correctly, lunch! They make amazing sandwiches and the selection varies daily.
The staff is super friendly, more than willing to offer cooking/pairing suggestions and very passionate about what they do.
Oh! And there's occasionally an oyster bar too!
