Toronto Shopping Tips by penumbra

Name of Shop: Yorkville

Bloorville is a high priced shopping district along Bloor and the block just north of Bloor, in the immediate blocks west of Yonge Street. The shops along Bloor are huge with large glass facades and opulent décor. In contrast the boutiques just north of Bloor are much smaller because they’re often located in refurbished old houses. None-the-less, this district is where the current fashion trends are set and sold.

Name of Shop: Chinatown

Toronto has several Chinatowns and as it grows, the city will undoubtedly grow even more and larger areas. The original Chinatown is downtown along Spadina and being the oldest, arguably has the most character. Even on Sundays and holidays when most stores are closed, this area is thronging with people shopping at the variety and food stores.

Name of Shop: Eaton Centre

I always enjoy walking through the Eaton’s Centre. The stores have stratified them themselves in layers with expensive clothes boutiques on the upper most floor, mainstream clothes and accessories on the middle floor and (more interesting) electronics and the food court on the lowest floor. The Centre is centrally located in the downtown area, so you’ll find yourself passing by the building several times whenever you venture downtown. Its location makes the center an excellent rest and rendezvous site.
