Buy a Hudson's Bay frontier wool blanket, or a Canadian-designed suit or
dress on Bloor Street. Have a sort through the vintage clothes on display at
Kensington Avenue.
Shopping Streets
In Yorkville there are scores of high-end boutiques and galleries. Buy international
designer clothes and accessories along Bloor Street. You'll find
trendy outlet shops tailing off into local designer boutiques along Queen Street
West. On Orfus Road, just off Lawrence and Bathurst, warehouse prices
are marked down on Canadian and import fashion.
At the Kensington Market you'll find everything from fine men's
suits at discount prices to spices, fruits and vegetables. The Toronto Antique
Centre on King Street is your chance to explore antique jewellery,
furniture, and crockery. Try the Peameal Bacon sandwich at the St Lawrence
Market while shopping for flowers, meats and cheese.
If you like busy streets then you'll love Yonge, Queen and Bloor streets on
weekends. Standard shopping hours are 9am to 7pm, except for Friday nights when many
stores are open until 9pm. On Sunday most shops are open from 11am-6pm. Major malls
in Toronto are usually open until 9pm through the week.
