  • This is how many 'block markets' around the world tend to really look like. Messy, a tad hectic, a bit smelly and full of all types of people walking around. Possibly a few roaches here and there too. Hey, that's just the reality of world, guys. I have always been a fan, not only due to the very eclectic selection of food and stores but also the vibe of the market as a whole. You can easily and quite affordably guy a whole two weeks worth of very varied groceries without breaking the bank for most people. Something that cannot be said of that "other" market on Front St., which is far more of a tourist trap than an actual purveyor of goods and services. Sans the Farmer's market, of course. During the warmer months, Pedestrian Sundays are AWESOME and a great way to really feel as if you are experiencing something very non-North American, which is great in itself. Kensington Market is also a staging area for many multicultural and art related events year-round, plus a great place to find a bar or a restaurant with a patio for people watching or enjoy a sunny afternoon with friends. From imported spices, raw meats, cheeses, new or used clothing, music, LIVE music, baked goods, marijuana accessories, antiques, foodstuff from all four corners of the world in general, to literally "used" homeless signs -- you think I am joking? check my photos -- you can find a wealth of things here to peruse and buy. Not to mention the market is drenched in a lot of history and really cool facts, for example, did you know you could still buy live chickens here all the way up to the early 90's? Or the fact that it used to be known as the "Jewish Market" during the early 20th's century? FUN FACT: Some Italians used to live here too during the early 20th century and as a sort of weird "screw you," (it was a really different time back then), a Christian store owner made a subtle cross shape with some of the bricks above his store to remind everyone around him about his faith. You think I am kidding? Check out 66 Kensington next time you are in the hood. How do I know that? Did I also mention you can take historical tours of the market? Check your local listings! ;-) You cannot visit nor live in Toronto and not check out "The Market."
