What to do and see in East End, Canada: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops

June 30, 2021 Jacquiline Delozier

We've heard Toronto described as "New York City run by the Swiss," and it's true—you can find world-class theater, shopping and restaurants here, but the sidewalks are clean and the people are friendly. The best place to start is literally at the top—the CN Tower, the tallest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere.

This place is like a little corner of heaven for movie lovers. I've purchased both in-person and online and I am always so pleased with the helpful service and fair pricing. Here I've been able to find items that have been off the market for decades or are being resold elsewhere for ridiculously high prices. I also love that this store lists items on eBay and AbeBooks so that I can quickly browse various topics. Mike is so helpful and professional and the shop is such a treasure. Thank you, Hollywood Canteen!

Polson Pier

A mix of bars, dance clubs and sports venues.

Reviewed By AbhikS11

Polson pier has a great view of the Toronto skyline and possibility of a great sunset behind the Toronto buildings. I drove from Mississauga (around 25 mins) on a weekday and it was relatively empty. There's parking just before the park/nightclub and it was relatively empty around 8 when I reached. I was there till 10:30 pm and it was pretty crowded by the time I left. So it would be advisable to reach early if you want to relish the sunset. There were few people with their camera/tripods and a separate couple photshoot was going on. Few people were just to enjoying the view and some groups were waiting for the nightclub to open. I don't see any security issue with many people around. Again, try to get in early to avoid parking issues.
