I think the word "market" is a little bit misleading because I would describe Kensington Market as a small neighborhood / district with various restaurants and unique vintage shops. Personally I prefer an indoor market like St. Lawrence Market because Toronto starts to get fairly cold in November. No only that, most shops / restaurants in Kensington Market are scattered across 3 ~ 4 blocks and navigating around this area is not simple as 1-2-3.
Parking: There's is a parking structure (Green P Carpark 68: 20 St Andrew St, Toronto, ON M5T 1K6, Canada) on St Andrew St.
Now there is one thing that makes this market stand out - this is a very diverse market with unique personality. Tons of super interesting vintage shops (handmade products from Latin America, African Art, etc) with multi-cultural food options in one tiny neighborhood.
