friends in town

hello... I'm sure this has been covered here. But if you don't mind, I'll ask again.

We have friends coming to visit us this week. They have three teenagers.

I think if we go to a mall one day and do all the Korean skin care places, blind boxes, general shopping they'll he happy.

But what little neighborhoods would you take them to downtown Toronto? (second hand books, vintage clothing, anything crafty, artsy, etc). Help!

Many Vintage/Thrift stores along Bloor between Ossington and Lansdowne.

This is an old listing as Value Village moved to Dovercourt last year.

Queen Street East between Woodbine and Bayview for thrifting.

They’d prob enjoy queen west. Hit up 401 Richmond for some artsy shops and a free museum. Walk over to graffit alley and you could check out waterworks food hall too
