Scarborough

Scarborough is what happens when you venture east of Victoria Park. Spanning a wide range of micro neighbourhoods such as Malvern, Agincourt and Birch Cliff, one of Toronto's most often derided "suburbs" is home to plenty of great Chinese, Caribbean and other (often cheap!) eats. It's also where to find such landmarks as the Rouge River, Scarborough Bluffs and the Toronto Zoo.
