I'm looking for some new urban strolls which preferably end with a great mean somewhere.
Last night we walked from College & Bay to Leslieville and ate at a great spot called Joy at 884 Queen Street.
Other (obvious) areas include:
Liberty Village
Beaches
Queen (west of Spadina)
Parliament (south of bloor)
College around Little Italy
Does anyone have any other walking suggestions?
- The obvious, Harbourfront. Walk west along the boardwalk starting west of Bay (Harbour Square), take in the shops, Harbourfront Centre, HT0 park, The Music Garden which is just before Bathurst (one of my favorate spots to relax), the Canada Malting silos then off to the end of Queens Quay which ends just east of Tip Top. You can continue on along the lake through the parkland to Ontario Place if your so inclined.
- High Park. Take the subway to High Park station, cross Bloor and walk south through the park
- Drive to Cherry Beach (a great kept secret) where there is free parking or take the 172 bus which runs every 20 minutes on Sat & Sun directly from Union station (S/E corner of Bay & Front) to the foot of the beach. The beach is great plus there are quiet and secluded walking/cycling paths east of the beach. On the way home get off the bus at Distillery District and take that in, hours of fun there.
- Little India, Gerrard Street East around Coxwell (Carlton streetcar runs there)
- The Island, get off at either Wards or Hanlan's & walk the length of the Island.
- Roncesvalles, take the Queen streetcar west & get off at Roncesvalles then walk north through the village
- Bloor west of Bathurst is colourful
- Forest Hill or Rosedale neighbourhoods if your into seeing how the "other" side lives. Quiet and relaxing
- Cabbagetown + there is Riverdale Park, The Necropolis and Riverdale Farm in that neighbourhood
There's a few ideas
