Other shopping in Ontario

  1. A

    ByWard Market

    The ByWard Market, at the corner of George St and ByWard St, is the best place in town for one-stop shopping. Vendors cluster around the old maroon-brick market building, erected in the 1840s. Outdoor merchants operate booths from 6am to 6pm year-round (although the winter weather drastically reduces the number of businesses). In summer, over 175 stalls fill the streets, selling fresh produce from local farms, flowers, seafood, cheese, baked goods and kitschy souvenirs. Dalhousie St, a block east of the market, has been rising in popularity with a smattering of hipster boutiques and fashion houses.

    Beguiling

    Need a comic book fix? Beguiling is the kind of crowded, mixed-up place that Robert Crumb would drop by (in fact, he once did). Be mesmerized by original ’zines, indie comics, pop culture books, limited edition artworks and posters. Check the website for events.

  3. Farmers Market at Lansdowne Park

    After breakfast, hit the Farmers Market at Lansdowne Park to buy produce for the week and chat with the local farmers. It’s also a great place to pick up some lunch: garlic dips.
