Drinks & Nightlife
Amazing local watering hole, that has been in the neighbourhood for over thirty years under the same ownership. There is a pool table, jukebox, front and back patio, and occasional live music. Almost exclusively populated by locals, it has a very low key, neighbourhood vibe. Eva, the owner/night bartender is a legend. The food is also surprisingly good and cheap. I dare you to finish the nacho platter!

The Ace is a charming retro themed restaurant and bar, a short two minute walk from 234 Sunnyside. It does have great food, but I go for the cocktails and the disarmingly friendly wait and bar staff. My favourite spot on Roncesvalles for a night cap. Very cozy.

Parks & Nature
High Park is the biggest public park in Toronto. It's like Toronto's Central Park. Lot's of trails, playgrounds, rivers, ponds, soccer and baseball areas, a swimming pool, a skating rink, a cafe restaurant with giant patio (great before 10 am breakfast specials) and even a zoo! Great for families. Once you are in it, you forget completely that you are in the biggest city in Canada. 5 minute walk from 234 Sunnyside.
