The Story

Bathurst Street is the historic home of Jewish communities in Toronto, starting with Kensington Market, then moving north to St Clair Ave West and then all the way to Richmond Hill. While we won't hike the whole street, we'll visit the heart at Bathurst St and Ranee Ave. With several bagel bakeries around, let's do a blind tasting to find the best. Close by, a Little Manila has developed around Bathurst St and Wilson Ave. It's not the only Filipino hub in Toronto but it's the most famous one. Wander through carinderias (hot tables) and grocery stores. **Highlights** 1. Bathurst and Lawrence northeast corner (depart 2:30pm) 2. United Bakers Dairy Restaurant 3. Phat Kaphrao 4.
