Set amongst some of Toronto’s most historic structures, Queen West has become a thriving, shopping mecca. Also known as the Art and Design district in Toronto, this neighbourhood is home to trendy boutiques, vintage shops, designer stores, shoe stores and of course, craft and sewing supply stores.

This area has a ton of restaurants/bars and some good shopping! It is also home to Trinity Bellwoods, a very well known park to hang out at in Toronto

"Queen West is where you'll find the city's coolest kids. It has great shopping, tons of art and design studios, a variety of live music venues, and amazing food, all of it set against a backdrop of historic buildings. Walking through the streets you'll stumble upon hidden galleries, drum circles in Trinity Bellwoods Park, 'art hotels' like The Drake, and "Graffiti Alley," the self-explanatory street art hub that might just be the perfect background for your next profile photo. Is it any wonder Vogue named West Queen West one of the coolest neighbourhoods in the world? Fashionistas tend to congregate, which is why nearby King West is also home to some of the best shopping in the city. Housed in what was once the centre of Toronto's textile industry, the former industrial buildings of King West are now inhabited by clothing outlets and retailers. Another former industrial area, Liberty Village is now the popular place to live for Toronto's urban professionals. You can live, eat, and drink, all in old, converted buildings that used to house factories. The industrial spirit lives on through the neighbourhoods latest residents: tech startups, digital agencies, and advertising firms"
