Once you’re ready to eat, enjoy a delicious sandwich at Wildly Delicious. I’ve only had their grilled cheese, but it was probably one of the best grilled cheeses I’ve ever had. Afterwards, you can shop Wildly Delicious’ unique house-made sauces, dips, and spreads. There’s plenty to see and shop around the shop – grab some of their chimichurri steak...

Get a taste of modern French cuisine at Cluny Bistro, a huge and Instagram-worthy restaurantwith a stunning Parisian-style interior. While I do think their dishes can be hit or miss, their foie gras eclairs are phenomenal and worth trying. I’ve heard good things about their fried frog’s legs and have yet to try them! Other great dinner options in t...
I watched the live play of Kim’s Convenience at the Young Centre several years ago, and it was so emotional and well-performed. The TV show itself (available on Netflix and Prime Video) is one of my favourite comedies, and Paul Sun-Hyung Lee actually performed as Appa in the live play as well! Watching a show at the Young Centre is a great way to w...
Satisfy your sweet tooth with some locally-made ice cream for dessert at Greg’s Ice Cream. Greg’s has unique flavours like Roasted Marshmallow that are always fun to try!
