Alternative SpaceEast Village
The city abandoned this 19th Century elementary school in 1976. Artists moved into the classrooms and it still runs on that make-something-from-nothing energy today.

StationeryEast Village
Find a moment of serenity in this peaceful Japanese Stationary store, where you’ll find traditional ink pads, the cutest notecards, planners and craft tools.

BakeryEast Village
For a little pick-me-up, there’s nothing we want more than one of Lucie’s cakes adorned with real flowers. Follow your nose to the butter-coloured yellow doorway.

Coffee ShopEast Village
This place is tiny, but their commitment to coffee is huge. Take a pause at one of Chinatown’s best little caffeine stops, tucked just off the neighborhood’s busiest streets.
