George O’Neill is counting down the top ten reasons The Beach is an incredible neighbourhood to live in. Yesterday, he talked about the clean, safe beaches and the numerous parks that dot The Beaches.
3. Great shops and restaurants
Queen Street East is a cluster of interesting shops and restaurants. Both big chains such as Starbucks Coffee thrive here beside local proprietors such as Remarkable Bean. The neighbourhood has local grocers as well as a quick drive to Loblaws or Price Chopper. Ed’s Real Scoop Ice Cream and The Pie Shack are legendary for their desserts.
4. Proximity to downtown Toronto
