Our local grocery store. One of the cheaper grocery chains in Toronto - though there is normally excellent produce and selection of products here. This store also has a pharmacy. Remember a quarter (25 cents) in order to use a cart!

The location where all the outdoor shots were filmed for the new(ish) TV show Kim's Convenience. This fact aside, this is our go-to corner store.

Lovely public space with a two tiered dog fountain! Check it out and see if you can spot the cat :) Right across the street from Fresh on Front and behind the Flatiron Building - a combo of these eating, sightseeing and relaxing makes for a perfect date night.

Classified as an "urban beach" this hangout spot has no access to the water, but overlooks Lake Ontario with cute pink umbrellas to sit under. If you're lucky you'll get to watch as they unload the sugar from the sugar ship at the Redpath Sugar Factory
