Chinatown

Known forchinatownspadinafreeneighborhood
One of North America's largest Chinatowns, centred on Spadina Avenue and Dundas Street West with dense storefronts of Cantonese and Vietnamese restaurants, herbal shops, bakeries and produce spilling onto the sidewalk. Come hungry and browse the markets; it flows right into Kensington Market next door. It is gritty and busy rather than polished, which is much of the appeal.
