OldTownTO | Downtown Toronto | St Lawrence Market, Corktown, Old Town, Distillery District Mmicrosites®

Downtown Toronto's famous FlatIron building shows the stark contrast between the Old Town area and the modern Financial district that is directly behind it. It is very different from the way it was in 1876.

The original center of Toronto, the area known as 'OldTownTO' has over 1,000 historic buildings and is the home of the original Town of York, Corktown, the famed Distillery District, and the St Lawrence Market, which has been in continuous operation for more than 200 years. Situated on the east side of downtown, the Old Town Toronto area contains fine hotels surrounded by shops in Victorian-era buildings. Excellent restaurants include a wide variety of cultural choice that ranges from outdoor patios and fine steakhouses to lively pubs and family bistros. Hundreds of stores include the famed Design Strip, containing the largest concentration of independant furniture shops in Toronto. Entertainment includes world-famous stage and theatre, opera, walking tours, live music, and annual street festivals. Shop, dine, and be entertained in this exciting area of Toronto, which has been serving the best in hospitality since 1793.

The Gardiner Expressway connects to Yonge Street and to Jarvis Street, and the Don Valley Parkway exits into the heart of the Downtown Toronto Old Town area through the Richmond Street offramp. Old Town lies on the Yonge Street subway and can be accessed from the Queen and King Street subway stations. The main Go Transit and the Union train station is a two minute walk west of the Old Town neighbourhood.
