Chinatown (Pass by)
On most days, the flavour of Chinatown literally spills right out onto the pavement. You'll pass an array of produce markets and grocers featuring mounds of exotic looking herbs, fruits, vegetables and dried seafood. Vendors line the pavement, some of them selling wares right out of grocery carts and pop-up tables.
Grange Park (Pass by)
Grange Park is a prominent and well-used public park in city centre Toronto. The Park lends its name to the Grange Park neighbourhood in the vicinity of the park. Historically, the park was the backyard of The Grange, a manor that eventually was expanded and became the Art Gallery of Ontario.

Denison Square (Pass by)
Kensington occupies a tract of land that was originally owned by the Denison family. George Taylor Denison used the land now occupied by the park as a parade ground for his volunteer cavalry troop, which he commanded during the Rebellion of 1837.
