 Tiny Shops & Pretty Flowers |
1 Avenue Road Toronto, ON M5R Canada |
On the outskirts of Yorkville is Avenue Road running North from Bloor Street and across the road from The Royal Ontario Museum. Follow this road and you'll be accosted with high end clothing, accessories, cars and groceries. However, once you reach the crescent shaped area where Avenue meets Davenport, visitors will find the city's collection of art galleries and flower shops with their roses, daisies and lillies overflowing onto the sidewalk. In fact, anything considered classically beautiful can be found along this area, Haute Couturiers including Inez Di Santo Bridal, and Paperbag Princess' vintage designs can be found next to Whole Foods, and Rolls Royce. - Marie Nicola Review © 2007, Wcities |

The neighborhood name is "Old Town of York" and it's located roughly from Church & King East to around Parliament and King. Along this stretch is chef supply stores where you can find the best in kitchenwares at wholesale prices, including top Canadian cookware (Paderno Pots & Grohman Knives), furniture stores like UpCountry and various stores carrying housewares, antiques and collectibles. - Marie Nicola Review © 2007, Wcities |

Antiques and collectibles |
608 Markham St (at Bloor Street West) Toronto, ON M6G 2L8 Canada +1 416 533 6466 |
If you're into antiques and collectibles, this is the place to be. From hard-to-find pieces of rare china, to heirloom jewellery, you'll find it here in the heart of Mirvish Village. A word of caution to the unprepared shopper, the Plantation often buys collections from entire estates. So, if you're looking for something specific, you'll have to wade through the rest. But there are rewards for taking your time. Bargains? Try your best to haggle, look very innocent and you may very well walk away with a good deal! Review © 2007, Wcities |
