Food scene
This is my favorite neighbourhood gem. It's a weird little walk through a parking lot to get to, and you have to go around the back of the MOCA building to find it, but it's so worth it! Really amazing sandwiches, lattes and wine. My personal favorite is the mushroom sandwich and the oat milk iced mocha.

Really excellent korean fusion. Excellent cocktails, definitely try the chop-cheese (sliders) and the paper boat.

If you feel like a bit more of a walk, this is a lovely stroll down Roncesvalles and very worth it for their pastries. The almond croissant is the best in the city, but definitely go early on the weekends or they'll sell out.

This is on Mondays and it's a great place to go to get some specialty gourmet food. I don't recommend it for day to day shopping, but it's a fun scene and you can always find something tasty

This place is such a gem. It's really excellent food and unexplainably cheap. A great patio in the summer.
