Top 10 Shopping Downtown
-
1. Sam the Record Man
Sam’s is hard to beat for price and variety – CDs, vinyl, videos, and DVDs, and an excellent selection of Canadian artists. Knowledgeable staff provide insider suggestions.
-
2. Tom’s Place
Be prepared to bargain for that Armani jacket – Tom will be disappointed if you don’t. Men’s and women’s clothing from top designers at discount prices.
-
3. The Japanese Paper Place
A huge selection of fine Japanese papers, handmade stationery, and beautiful notebooks.
-
4. LCBO at Summerhill
This vast liquor store in a former train station stocks a superb selection of wines, beers, and spirits from around the world.
-
5. Honest Ed’s
Rock-bottom prices on a huge array of goods, from housewares to clothing, are the big draw at this garishly lit Toronto landmark. On-site optometrist, dentist, pharmacy, and TicketKing outlet too. Beware the no-return policy.
-
6. Club Monaco
Cool and sleek characterize the clothes and accessories of this monolithic retailer, started in Toronto in 1985. The chic flagship location has the widest selection.
-
7. Caban
Like its parent company Club Monaco, Caban exudes style. Color-coordinated items for the home – bath, bed, kitchen, and more – lure with their clean, modern lines.
-
8. Courage My Love
Inexpensive vintage clothes; beads, jewelry, and trinkets from Asia, India, and South America pack this small incense-perfumed space.
-
9. Comrags
Locals Joyce Gunhouse and Judy Cornish have made an international name for themselves with their swishy urban-romantic women’s clothing line.
-
10. M.A.C.
Don’t be scared off by the staff – male and female – decked in all black, including eyeliner. These skilled makeup artists will demystify the products in this hip, unisex line created for the fashion industry.
