Parts & Labour
Parkdale eats and parties at Parts & Labour, a west-end Toronto hip spot serving oddities such as Fried Pig Face (pork croquettes), horse tenderloin and buffalo quail. Not different enough? Head downstairs for a blast of alternative music.
Leslieville
Leslieville is loved as a loopy place to wander, shop and dine. Home to Toronto’s Film District, think: vintage furniture, freaky fashion and funky brunch spots.
Real Sports Bar and Grill
Watch a game. Hockey. Basketball. UFC. Real Sports Bar and Grill has 199 HD TVs… including the largest in North America. Reservations recommended.
