Mid Queen West was the hippest address in town in the 1990s. In the 2000s the trend has been to move West. West Queen West is where creativity and community have come to reside. With great Toronto classic hangouts like the Drake Hotel, there are also galleries, independent coffee shops and unique restaurants. It is one of the best places to shop in Toronto, and if you have your walking shoes on, you can begin your day with a cup of coffee and end with a cocktail on the same street without repeating anything. We suggest starting around Queen and Dufferin and walking east. Strap on your pedometer.
