Parkdale is Toronto in a microcosm: eclectic, artsy and ever-changing. This west-end neighbourhood boasts a rich immigrant history, with waves of Polish, Afro-Caribbean, Filipino and Vietnamese immigrants having called it home. Today, Parkdale hosts one of North America’s largest Tibetan expat communities—and has the restaurants to prove it. Independent galleries, trendy bars and vintage shops cater to locals and visitors, while Sunnyside Beach remains a powerful draw a century after its development, circa-1922.
