St. Lawrence Market

 St. Lawrence Market, Old Town Toronto

"Market" Treat!

Yesterday I visited the St. Lawrence Market located in old town Toronto. It was wonderful to walk around and see over 100 venders selling everything from fresh fruits, vegetables, cheeses, seafood, clothing and jewelry. It’s a great spot to grab a bite to eat as well, as many vendors offered deli sandwiches, wraps, baked goods, soups and salads. Yum!

There are three different venues within the market. There is the North Market that hosts large social gatherings and serves as the "Sunday Antique Market" with over 80 dealers. The South Market was originally the building that was Toronto’s first city hall! This is where over 50 vendors display everything from food to jewelry. If you are an aspiring chef the South Market has the Market Kitchen, which is a real cooking school and event venue!

If you are in the mood for a "historic treat" within the market then make sure you stop by St. Lawrence Hall, built in 1850 to serve as the City’s public meeting space. I did not get to see this venue up close but I am going to try and get there soon. I love learning about the history behind these venues in Toronto!
