Toronto Shopping
SHOPPING
IN THE CITY
Toronto has ample opportunities for shopping, and
nearly any section of the city has unique places to shop and find
deals:
Yonge
Street is locally regarded as the longest street in the
world. This is actually not true, but it's best not to argue with the
locals about it! It runs from the edge of the lake to about 100 km
north of the city. The in-town end is a touristy-shopping district with
many restaurants, souvenir and gift shops, etc.
Yorkville
is the high-end shopping district of Toronto. Once a haven for
Toronto's hippie population, it is located just north of Bloor and Bay
Streets and is now home to many designer boutiques. During the annual
Toronto Film Festival the area is "ground-zero" for celebrity watching.
Located a short walk west of the Eaton Centre is the city's fashion
district along Queen Street West, an area usually bustling with local
hipsters looking for the latest looks in a variety of trendy stores.
The stretch between University Ave and Spadina tends to be much more
main stream with an ever increasing number of chain stores. More
offbeat choices can be found west of Spadina Ave stretching all the way
into Parkdale.
Pacific
Mall at Steeles and Kennedy in Markham, the largest
Chinese indoor mall in North America is definitely worth a visit if you
are interested in Asian-Canadian culture.
Chinatown
- Centered at Dundas and Spadina, Toronto's Chinatown is a great way to
see China without spending the airfare. Vast crowds crush the sidewalks
as vendors sell authentic Chinese and Vietnamese food, and
not-so-authentic knock-offs. It is one of North America's largest
Chinatowns, and with many stores geared towards tourists, it is a good
place to pick up souvenirs.
Toronto
Eaton Centre - A massive shopping mall located at Yonge
& Dundas Streets, this is a haven for those looking for a more
"commercial" experience. Shoppers from around the world will be
comfortable here, as most major stores and labels are represented,
along with a bustling food court serves fast meals to the rushing
crowds.
Yorkdale
Shopping Centre - A shopping centre located in the north
of the city, accessible from Yorkdale subway station. This is a
full-service mall with hundreds of stores, but which is also rife with
packs of roving teenagers who use the facilities as a social scene.
Make use of the subway if possible on weekends, as visitors pack the
parking areas to capacity.
