Morning in the Pocket (4.5km)
Details
This one is for the early risers. The Pocket is a pocket-shaped neighbourhood centred around Phin Park. There are not many entry points and the bottom is hemmed off by railway tracks. So, we'll leave through one of two exits on the east.
The Pocket has no food options. We have to continue on to the border of Leslieville, where one can find bakeries and one of the best hot chocolates in the city. The hike ends at a legendary Egyptian brunch restaurant that doesn't take reservations. Come early (that's the point of the hike) to avoid 1-hour queues.
Additional breakfast options are further east at Little India.
