Just north of the railway tracks near the foot of Yonge Street, a newly installed pedestrian crosswalk marks the Downtown Toronto intersection of Yonge and The Esplanade. At the foot of the all but completed
Backstage On The Esplanade condominium, the corner marks the beginning of a well-established stretch of tourist-friendly restaurants. As new residential density comes to the St. Lawrence neighbourhood, however, the stretch between Yonge and Church is poised to become slightly more varied in its offerings, beginning with the 36-storey Backstage tower.
