Supporting local Toronto businesses during this post-pandemic, rebuilding stage is more crucial then ever. Its important that our mom-and-pop shops continue to thrive in our city and along Queen St. West there are so many food spots that we can continue to show our support!
Supporting local doesn’t always mean you have to break the bank, and I want to prove to you that you can enjoy a beautiful day visiting restaurants and cafés along Queen St. West, supporting local businesses we know and love, for only $50. The city can be costly, but I promise you it’s possible. Every small purchase helps these businesses regain some of what they lost during the pandemic.
