Detailed Description
In this 2.5 hours walking tour you will take a trip around the world in one lunch as you sample a variety of cuisine from various cultures in the multi-cultural enclave of Kensington Market that will be your meeting and ending point, including a stop in Chinatown.
As you stroll down the streets of Kensington, you will notice that unlike most other neighborhoods in Toronto, there is a surprising lack of large corporations in the neighborhood.
That's because Kensington Market residents fight to keep the big box stores out, allowing small, locally owned businesses to continue flourishing in this area. Therefore, the neighborhood has such special character and soul. From small eateries, boutiques, produce shops and other local stores lining pedestrian friendly narrow streets, with many buildings decorated with eminently photogenic graffiti.
