Queen Street West

Boundaries: Queen St. West between Yonge St. and Bathurst Ave.

Queen West is where you go to find everything hip, trendy and cool. You don’t need to pick up a fashion magazine to get a sneak preview of the season’s new trends; just walk down Queen street. A style-conscious crowd, looking for cutting-edge fashion, is who you’ll see frequenting the shops.

Young, vibrant and bohemian, this neighbourhood is often compared to New York’s or London’s SoHo districts. It’s a hangout for many artists and musicians, with its many music stores, cafes, and clubs. A few of the older bars on this street, such as the Cameron, the Horseshoe Tavern, Rivoli, and the Bovine Sex Club, have become institutions in the this area.

Since becoming a popular tourist attraction, with many big commercial chains taking over, artists and designers moved to West Queen West (between Bathurst Ave. and Niagara St.). What used to be an area that embraced Goth culture is now a shopping haven for those looking for one-of-a-kind art and high-end fashion.

69 Vintage
1100 Queen Street West Toronto ON M6J 1H9
Phone: (416)516-0669
Neighbourhood: West Queen West

What's the difference between a store and a gallery? Stores stock, galleries curate. 69 Vintage is clearly a vintage gallery. Eschewing the "more is more" philosophy of the typical vintage store, the carefully selected pieces make a statement individually and as a whole. Shoes include a well-worn pair of Chuck Taylors, a pair of golden heels and funky boots, all of which may or may not be hanging from the ceiling. For men, there are colorful argyle sweaters, dangerous leather jacks and perfectly worn T-shirts. For women, there are unforgettable dresses and tailored jackets.
