  • Toronto, Ontario, Canada - July 13, 2012: The Distillery District, in Toronto, Ontario, is named after this area's history in distilling spirits.

The old brick Victorian structures were converted into retail, commercial and residential space. Many galleries, bars, restaurants and cafes line the area. It hosts various cultural events and has become a 'must see' district for those visiting Toronto...This photo shows a summer scene where district restaurants and bars have patio's set up allowing patrons to sit outdoors and enjoy a night out eating and people watching.
