TLTV Ep 95 - Baldwin Street



Hungry? If you are looking for a good outdoor patio in Toronto on which to sit, eat, and drink, well Baldwin Street has you covered! It is a small street located just two short blocks north of the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) and is the perfect spot to enjoy the summer weather over a meal or a drink.

Baldwin Street is a relatively small street, hidden among the towers and hustle & bustle of Toronto's downtown, but it a great example of an urban oasis. It seems secluded and inviting. You will hardly believe that you are right near the downtown core. The restaurants all have great patios, and you can get a variety of foods, from Italian to Japanese to Thai to Indian to Vegetarian and more ... there really is something for almost everyone.

Baldwin also has a number of unique little businesses, like a used record store, an art gallery and a small hotel. All are one-of-a-kind and are definitely worth checking out.

If you have just come from a day at The AGO or are just in the Dundas Street West neighbourhood you should absolutely check out Baldwin Street. Few streets anywhere have so much character and charm in such a small area.
