Kensington Market, {CATEGORY}
This colorful, lively area should not be missed. You'll hear Caribbean, Portuguese, Italian, and other accents as merchants spread out their wares - squid and crabs in pails, chickens, pigeons, bread, cheese, apples, pears, peppers, ginger, and mangoes from the West Indies, salted fish from Portuguese dories, lace, fabrics, and other colorful remnants. There's no market on Sunday. Kensington Avenue itself is a treasure trove of vintage clothing stores. You'll see a lot of junk here, but amazing finds can be had at shops like Courage My Love (14 Kensington Ave., tel. 416/979-1992). Most of the shops display their wares outdoors in decent weather, adding to the color and charm of the area. Several summer Sundays are car-free in Kensington Market, making for a pedestrian paradise. Say Cheese - One Kensington Market spot I can't resist is the Global Cheese Shoppe, 76 Kensington Ave. (tel. 416/593-9251). It stocks excellent offerings from around the world, and the staff is happy to let you try anything. One irresistible choice is the made-in-Ontario goat cheese. Mmm. . .
