Spooned by Spadina's Chinatown, Kensington Market is one of Toronto's truest neighbourhoods, untainted by the manufactured and franchised sensibilities that have crept into many of the city's enclaves.
Upon entering The Market one instantly feels thrust into a bastion of Bohemian bona fides. While not quite on the scale of the Kejetia Market in Ghana, the market has a charm all its own and one can feel the vibe of a very tightknit community among its residents.
It is a potpourri of political activists, musicians, merchants and artists. The air is a pungent mix of chronic, coffee, camembaert, carp, chorizo and comraderie.
