Eglinton West
Eglinton West might be the neighbourhood that most simply pass through to get on the Allen Expressway, but the stretch between Bathurst and Eglinton West station is dotted with an eclectic assortment of mainly local hangouts including one of the city's best Mexican restaurants. Venture a little bit further west and the neighbourhood changes dramatically into Little Jamaica where cheap and chearful restaurants, barber shops and grocery stores do a brisk business.
