Trinity Bellwoods Hipster neighbourhood with a park at its heart -
Toronto's Eye Week - March 16, 2006
[ A joy to read unlike Foad's article (Drake vs Starbucks) which attacks our new neighbourhood entrepreneurs ...Don_Q]
Squeezed between the bustle of bordering neighbourhoods Little Italy, Queen West and boho-nouveau Beaconsfield Village, manages to be at once lively and livable, mainly due to the massive park that the area is named after. While the park attracts professionals walking their pedigreed dogs and well-heeled mothers and nannies with young charges, it also offers local artists a green place to sit and watch the world -- or at least Queen Street shoppers -- drift by. The surrounding area serves young families and young go-getters equally well, with its mix of yoga studios, clothing boutiques, art galleries, coffee shops, record stores, used book shops and a wide selection of both upscale and low-budget restaurants. While there are always new developments on the landscape, like the numerous loft and condo spaces popping up over the last few years, there is a comforting, stable feeling here compared to neighbourhoods further west or east. Trinity Bellwoods is most closely associated with the big Victorians on tree-lined streets like Crawford and the unusually broad Shaw, trendy-casual restaurants like Terroni, Swan or Fresh and, of course, long walks in the park.
