What to expect

Old-city energy, bright lights, late-night buzz

Local tip

The best late-night spots don't always have the fanciest signs — follow the locals. Bubble tea at midnight is a Toronto tradition. The stretch between Dundas and Sullivan has the highest density of options.

Getting there

Subway to Spadina (Line 2), then walk south on Spadina Ave. Or streetcar 510 Spadina. The strip is most active between Dundas and Sullivan St.
