Category: Vibrant Streets

While my fiancee was at a bridal store for a wedding party she’s in I was able to do something I really enjoy in Toronto: walk along a street and find a cafe I’ve never been to.

That’s the exciting party of a vibrant, mixed use street. You never know where you’ll end up.

Cozy!

The Bloor-Dundas hub has a lot of potential in my mind because of the excellent transit service:

• Two streetcar routes and several bus routes;
• GO Transit train service and a 7 minute UP Express ride from Union Station;
• West Toronto Rail Path; and
• It’s almost connected with the new Bloor Street bike lanes.

The other fun part of finding a new, local, small cafe is that you know you’re supporting hard-working small business leaders, just like my friends at T By Daniel in Brampton and on Main Street. It’s also accessible by good transit service and worth checking out.
