Dundas West
No longer just Little Portugal, Dundas West is one of Toronto's most overlooked micro-neighbourhoods. No worry. Better that locals don't need to fend off tourists at favourite spots like Musa, Ella's Uncle and The Communist Daughter. And while dining and drinking are definitely on the agenda here, a walk east to west wouldn't be complete without ogling at the Canadian furniture and designs at MADE, emerging artists on display at LE Gallery or stopping in for a trim at Grateful Head.








A notable omission from this entry is a much-favoured bookshop called The Monkey's Paw (mentioned recently in these very pages at http://tinyurl.com/ytef69). Really, now. It's right there on Dundas, in the thick of things.
