You haven’t seen TORONTO if you haven’t been to CABBAGETOWN. This walkable neighbourhood contains one of North America’s largest collections of Victorian-era housing, two of our city’s oldest cemeteries, an animal farm, parks and gardens.  It’s easily reachable by the eastbound #506 streetcar from COLLEGE subway station to Parliament Street. Then walk east.
