Gateway to the east

Many Toronto west-enders tend to think of the city east of the Don Valley as if it were a different planet, but the corner of Queen East and Broadview provides a entry point for those venturing over the Don Valley, whether your pleasure is music (The Opera House), ridiculously huge burgers (Dangerous Dan’s), Jamaican food (The Real Jerk) or scantily clad dancers (Jilly’s). But as you move eastward, the sensory overload settles into a quaint community of popular brunch spots, boutiques and quirky cocktail bars.
