Palmerston-Little Italy

Description

Though still holding the name “Little Italy”, the neighbourhood that was once the territory of Italian and Portuguese blue collar workers is actually much more diverse than it sounds. While College Street is still home to a number of great Italian restaurants, it also boasts establishments serving other cuisine including Japanese and Middle Eastern. College Street is a lively place with a number of great cafes and used bookshops to check out in the day, and bars and clubs, including the Mod Club Theater, to unwind in at night. Despite the activity on College, the residential side streets are lined with two and three story homes, and are relatively quiet.
