| - There's plastic flowers, classical radio, heavy paper bills. When you walk into Skyline you walk into Parkdale. Former glory, contemporary good sense. It feels homely and the kinds of simple place where there's no need to pretend. Sit on the vinyl booth, order a tasty breakfast or other 'Canadian' food and read your paper. The main waitress, a charming lady that is a template of professional waitress will be right there.
One thing I enjoyed the most is their old fashion bar. With a friend of mine, no doubt influenced by the TV serie Mad Men, order a whisky on the rocks at 11am; and cheered sliently to a pleasant day.
But this is also Parkdale, and there might be some characters in there too. It's real here, what else can I say? Nod pleasantly and go about your business, no one will bother you, if you don't want to.
And take a stroll to Parkdale after. West of Dufferin is probably one of the most burgeoning area in Toronto. This is Queen West before the brand.
