"Shook describes themselves as a modern Middle Eastern kitchen, cafe, and marketplace. They are a vegetarian restaurant and many of the dishes are naturally vegan. While many of the dishes appear to be vegan (unless they contain egg, cheese or honey), I would definitely ask the staff members about what’s vegan and not vegan."

"The Distillery District was also very nice for shopping and restaurants, but overall a bit more touristy than the other neighbourhoods. I went on a street art tour around Queen Street West and Spadina Avenue with Daniel from Tourguys, who explained everything from the key players of street art in the city to the legal situation of graffiti in Toronto. He took me to back alleys and lanes, pointed out street art that is well hidden in the busy city landscape and told me the stories behind the artpieces. I can only recommend doing this tour!"

This lively area is a National Historic Site and a hot spot for those looking for boutiques, galleries, and restaurants!.
