Food evolution in poorly-planned neighbourhoods (6 km)
Details
Attendance policy is enforced for this hike. See below for details.
Liberty Village and CItyPlace are two high-density neighbourhoods that are examples of how not to do urban planning. Thankfully, some things have gotten better, like the presence of some good restaurants. This hike will highlight some of the better food options and architectural gems in these neighbourhoods.
End the hike at a trio of casual restaurants: classic burgers, grilled chicken, or Thai street food—all the top of their kind in Toronto.
