Ossington

Arguably one of the city’s trendiest strips, Ossington is hugely popular with the under-30 crowd. It’s the spot for a great night out. You can make a reservation in advance or walk the main drag and hit a great spot to settle in for the evening. If live music is more your jam, stop in at The Dakota Tavern for nightly Southern-style live music.

Don’t miss:

• Bellwoods Brewery, which specializes in puckeringly sour and tartly hoppy ales
• Taking the kids for the city’s most popular ice cream sandwich at Bang Bang Ice Cream & Bakery
• A luxurious spread of Latin American-by-way-of-Asia dishes at Foxley, a favourite of local foodies 
• Stopping at Telegramme Prints and Custom Framing for a retro poster, or Rotate This for must-have vinyl records
• The laneways leading off Ossington Avenue, where you’ll spot some of the city’s coolest art
