"Kensington Market is a designated National Historic Site of Canada. Kensington is characterized by its laid-back, artsy vibe as found in its eclectic shops, vintage clothing shopping, ethnic restaurants, street food, bars, street performers, and street art. Parked at the north end of Augusta Avenue in the neighborhood, you’ll find the famous garden car. This repurposed vehicle has foliage bursting out of its roof, windows, doors, and trunk. Originally a statement of protest against cars and vehicles (and their impact on the environment), it is now considered a piece of public art and a permanent landmark in Kensington. Drop by Wanda’s Pie in the Sky for pies and sweets, Rasta Pasta for Jamaican fare, or head over to Pow Wow Cafe for Indigenous cuisine. Popular spots for a beer include Ronnie’s Local 069 and Handlebar, both dives bars. You can swing by Thirsty and Miserable for a wide, rotating selection of craft beers. If you’d rather play it safe, have a cup of joe at Cafe Pamenar." - MATADOR_NETWORK
