Steve’s St. Lawrence Market guidebook
Neighbourhoods
See the sights, shop the shops, savour the snacks
The St. Lawrence Market neighbourhood is as old as Toronto itself. In fact, the Town of York – the forerunner to the City of Toronto – spanned 10 city blocks that now comprise part of the St. Lawrence neighbourhood. The architecturally significant 19th-century Georgian style red and yellow brick buildings that line Front Street harken back to this earlier period.
The newer part of the St. Lawrence Market neighbourhood situated around The Esplanade was constructed in the 1970s. The real estate in the area contains a nice mix of low rent and subsidized rental accommodation together with co-ops, condominiums and privately-owned homes
St. Lawrence residents have the luxury of being able to walk to the famous St. Lawrence Market, a food emporium with over 200 vendors again attracting shoppers from near and far. Stroll through this Toronto landmark and be entertained by live performers, enjoy a vast variety of prepared foods, and purchase everything from fresh seafood to farm fresh eggs and organic chicken. Shopping at this market dubbed the best food market in the world by National Geographic is an experience not to be missed.
