Description
Take this unique tour of Toronto cultural experiences and tastes. Queen West was voted the second most hip street in the world by Vogue magazine in 2014. Fittingly it is also the street where selling pot first became legal.
We will walk along the street and pop into some interesting shops to have some fancy ice tea, or to look at $3000 pair of running shoes. See how a hundred year old building merges with modern structure in an innovative design to create beautiful spaces. And look at historic photos taking a glimpse of life a hundred years ago.
Learn about the Cameron house, ten ants and the pope. How gentrification has changed this unique strip. And find out about some popular graffiti artists whose art adorns many alleys. We will have a drink at one of the best rooftop patios in Toronto looking at amazing views. Then finish at a unique market made of shipping containers.
Here's what is included:
Pastry from a unique coffee shop
Ice Tea or Coffee of choice from Lavish and Squalor.
A beverage at a rooftop patio.
