Oh lucky are the people living anywhere within walking distance of this gem. I don't know where to start. Here is the list of reasons why I will move to queen west so I can frequent Bellwoods:
- tai chi being done
- there was a pet bunny, on a leash, attached to a bicycle. yup.
- hoola hoopers. how hippie are you people?
- vodka infused hipsters fighting about rent money. He only owes for hydro!!!
- flower headbands and baha sweaters. nuff said
- BIKES BIKES BIKES
- DOGS DOGS DOGS
- jugglers.
- a lot of older Asian ladies picking up empty cans...why? i don't know. many reasons as I am sure.
- people making out. i love staring at people making out
- musical instruments being played, like the hang!!!! (youtube it, you'll be impressed)
This place reminds me of Venice beach, sans the beach. It has an awesome atmosphere, makes you wanna read and create and be all artsy fartsy and shiiiet.
I highly recommend this for an eating spot, first or subsequent date spot, reading spot, picnic spot and just to catch some sun and chill.
