Yonge and Eglington – Toronto’s Midtown’s shopping refuge
by Logan Steele · Leave a Comment
Affectionately referred to as “Yonge and Eg” (or “Young and Eligible” alluding to its “Thirtysomething” demographic inhabitants). This Northern portion of Toronto’s infamous Yonge strip is home to some amazing designer boutiques, destination shops and restaurants. Its Midtown environment lends itself to a variety of big chain retailers as well as some great specialty shops. Littered with with quaint cafes, pocket sized pooches and the ultra fashionable, this is definitely a part of town like no other (well maybe a little bit like Yorkville but, I’m not judging).
