 Hidden Shopping Haven |
Bayview Avenue (between Davisville Ave and Eglinton Ave) Toronto, ON Canada |
Aging buildings are getting a face lift with the inclusion of trendy stores! Bayview is tucked away from the rest of Toronto since it's harder to reach because the TTC doesn't run there. Because of this, locals rarely leave the Bayview area and prefer to shop here. So up springs a street filled with enviably cool clothing, chic housewares and unconventional finds. Make sure to head down to South Bayview and check out the Brickworks. Bayview is too good to miss! - Marie Ann Nicola Review © 2007, Wcities |

High class by design |
50 Bloor Street West Toronto, ON M4W 1A1 Canada +1 416 922 2333 http://www.holtrenfrew.com/ |
This specialty store carries exclusive designer fashions comparable to Saks Fifth Avenue and Macy's in the U.S. Once the "Furrier-in-Ordinary" to Queen Victoria, the chain began in 1837 as a hat shop in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. The average middle class folk can browse through the private Holt Renfrew collection;not quite designer original, but stuff that will still set you apart. Review © 2007, Wcities |
