Toronto Neighborhood Just Hit Different: Davenport Officially That Girl ✨

The Deets

Okay, so listen up, fam. Davenport in Toronto is having a major main character moment. TimeOut just dropped their list of the "coolest" neighborhoods worldwide, and Davenport clocked in at #26. No cap, this is HUGE.

But how did they even decide? Well, TimeOut hit up their writers and editors all over the globe and asked them what neighborhoods are straight-up vibing. They looked at everything from the culture to the eats, the nightlife to the overall "nowness." Basically, is it the place to be rn?

And Davenport passed the vibe check with flying colors. We're talkin' popping patios, cute cafes, warehouse spaces turned into art havens, and breweries like Blood Brothers and The Greater Good serving up the good stuff. Plus, the underground nightlife is low-key legendary, and the art scene, with the Geary Art Crawl and All Ours Studio, is constantly serving looks.

TimeOut even mapped out the perfect day in Davenport. Start with a matcha latte at Balzac's Powerhouse (aesthetic!), peep some art at the Cardinal Gallery, grab lunch at Amelia’s Market or Parallel Brothers, sip on Paradise Grapevine's Space Cowboy, and end the night with pizza from North of Brooklyn and tunes at Standard Time. Sounds like a vibe, tbh.

Shoutout to Montreal too! Plateau-Mont-Royal came in at #22, so Canada's def reppin' on the global stage. As for the top spots? Jimbōchō in Tokyo, Borgerhout in Antwerp, and Barra Funda in São Paulo are where it's at. Maybe time for a trip, bestie?
