Parks & Recreation
There are 22 art galleries in the Distillery District and 25 retail stores that are built upon an artistic foundation such as artisan furniture shops. Foodies, coffee shop enthusiasts, and tired shoppers looking for somewhere to relax benefit from a plethora of hip cafes, patios, wine bars, chocolate shops, and top-notch restaurants such as El Catrin Mexican restaurant and Pure Spirits Oyster House & Grill. For these food and drink lovers, they may also get excited about the St. Lawrence Market ? Toronto?s oldest food market ? that sits just a short walk away. A variety of artist?s sculptures serve as neighbourhood markers, music and arts festivals keep the community united, and farmer?s markets serve to totally complete the ambiance of this pedestrian, European-feeling neighbourhood. Residents will continue to benefit from the vast revitalization of the Toronto Waterfront and all of the recreational opportunities that accompany this project.
