Essentials
Only 2mins away, this place is very convenient for groceries, but warning - can be a bit pricey, and brand selection is lacking. If you're getting more than a few items, i would go to the Independent CityMarket on Peter instead.

By far the best burger in Toronto. Even the veggie option is delicious (a portobello mushroom cap stuffed with cheese, breaded and deep fried). Usually a line-up, but it's worth the wait. And there's now a second location in the neighbourhood! 212 Adelaide St. West, just a few blocks east of the apartment.
