408 Bloor St W (At Brunswick) Toronto, ON M4K 1N8 Canada +1 416 944 1993 / +1 888 633 5833 http://www.grassrootsstore.com/ |
Located in Toronto's Annex area, this store is unusual in that, unlike many places that carry environmentally friendly products as a sideline, it carries nothing but. There are items for every part of the home or office, from cleaning supplies and personal hygiene products to recycled papers and solar-powered radios. As a bonus, the store is bright, clean and always smells terrific. Grassroots also stocks a wide range of books and magazines on environmental issues and is a source of information on local organizations dedicated to global health. Second location at 372 Danforth Ave (+1 416 466 2841). Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Like travelling the world |
67 Kensington Ave (at Dundas Street West) Toronto, ON M5T 2K2 Canada +1 416 392 0880 http://www.kensingtonmarket.com/ |
Known in the 1930s as the Jewish Market, Kensington today is an awesome display of the city's multi-ethnicity. Here you will find shops packed with products from Europe, Middle East, South America, the Caribbean, Africa and Asia and you will hear dozens of languages spoken. A visit to this market is like taking a trip around the world! With more than 100 shops in all selling everything from second-hand clothing to fresh produce, from exotic pastries to art objects and furniture, you won't go away empty-handed.

 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 |
