The Ossington Strip

We have a lot of favourites on this street, so rather than do separate places for each, we're just going to encourage you to go spend an afternoon / evening on Ossington between Dundas and Queen.

Gentrified over the last eight to ten years, Ossington just keeps getting more popular. It's pretty hipster-y, but there are a ton of gems along here.

I Miss You vintage is a favourite, and there are several little art galleries and boutiques to keep your shopping needs satisfied.

To eat, there's the classic Pizzeria Libretto, serving up Neapolitan pizzas and long lineups, Delux, which has a wicked Cuban brunch, and Yours Truly, a brilliant tasting menu that's great for special occasions. And then there's Golden Turtle, which has some of the best pho in the city.

Late night we usually end up at The Ossington, Sweaty Betty's, Baby Huey, or Oddseoul. Reposado is perfect for a hit of tequila, and Bellwoods Brewery is so good it has its own spot in the app.
