10 Things I'll Miss About High Park
See All Lists
1. Grenadier Pond
Grenadier Pond is my #1 favourite place to skate (er, attempt to skate) in the winter. Yep, it's not officially sanctioned or encouraged by the city, but people still do it. The families who live along Ellis Park Road (the street that backs onto one…More »
2. High Park
Toronto, ON M6P 3K7
Canada
Categories:
Parks,
Zoos,
Playgrounds
Neighbourhood: High Park
I've lived in the High Park area for nearly my entire life (grew up close to it, and am now renting there again) and I absolutely love it. It's peaceful and massive with lots of places to explore. It's very close to the subway line (High Park…More »
3. Crema Coffee Co.
Toronto, ON M6P 1Z9
Canada
(416) 767-3131
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: The Junction
Who knew The Junction would be so bustling on a Tuesday afternoon?
Crema Coffee was absolutely crammed with locals for the several hours that I spent working using their strong and reliable wi-fi. Lots of people having business meetings, reading…More »
4. Pearl Nails and Spa

Canada

Category:
Nail Salons
Neighbourhood: The Junction
Wahh! It turns out Lily has "gone back to school" permanently and no longer works at Pearl Nails. I was devastated to learn this news. How could the perfect nail esthetician leave me like that!? Anyway, enter My to the rescue.
She'll now be my go-to…More »

Canada

Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: The Junction
I just can't get enough! I went to Cool Hand for brunch (again) last weekend and had what was one of the most delicious omelettes in recent memory: candied sweet potatoes and aged cheddar. SO incredibly good. I absolutely adore this place for their…More »

Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Vegetarian,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: High Park
If you're slowly re-entering the world of solid foods after a horrifying, crippling, willpower-draining, week-long strep-isode (shoutout to Adrian B), leave it to none other than Mama Lunch Box to take care of your ailing digestive system and sore…More »

7. King Slice
My lifelong theory that a restaurant loses all credibility if its menu is riddled with typos has officially gone out the window.
King Slice's web menu has 38 typos on it. 38 typos. On one page of text. (if you don't believe me go see for yourself - …More »
8. Anna's Bakery & Deli
Toronto, ON M6S 1P5
Canada
(416) 769-8065
Categories:
Bakeries,
Meat Shops
Neighbourhoods: Bloor-West Village, Swansea
My family has been buying pastries and cookies from Anna's for almost four decades. They have been around for ages and the quality is the same now as it was back when I was a kid.
They have lots of great cheesecake-y type things as well as jam-filled…More »
9. Karpaty Pastry & Deli
Toronto, ON M6S 1P9
Canada
(416) 769-2159
Categories:
Delis,
Ethnic Food
Neighbourhood: Bloor-West Village
This is my go-to place for frozen pierogies and kopytka (sometimes called paluszki in Polish; it's sort of like gnocchi). They ship these in by the hundred and have a constantly stocked freezer full of them for a couple bucks each in tons of flavours…More »
10. Whelan's Gate Irish Pub
Toronto, ON M6P 1A6
Canada
(416) 531-1311
When you get to Whelan's Gate, march right upstairs, ignore the hulking centipede lurching its way across the pub walls (no joke - the centipede I saw was two inches long) and head straight to the garden patio.
It's a bit of a find, really, and you…More »
