Formerly known as Queen-Broadview Village, Riverside is home to tasty burgers, indie coffee houses, a live music venue and locavore dining. Geographically, its sandwiched between Leslieville and the DVP and a short walk south from East Chinatown. The transition to Leslieville begins around the train tracks by Jimmie Simpson Park. While the two neighbourhoods share many common traits, Leslieville has benefited from a higher profile ever since the New York Times anointed it as Torontos hippest place to dine, drink, shop and live. Historically home to light industry and the Film District, its now more known for its bounty of brunch options and vintage design shops. GETTING THERE: By TTC to Riverside: From Queen station, take the 501 streetcar east. Or, from Broadview station, take the 504 streetcar south to Queen. By TTC to Leslieville: From Queen station, take the 501 streetcar east. Or, from Pape station, take the 72 bus south.
