The Distillery District, Toronto

多伦多蒸馏酒厂区始建于1832年,1860年代成为全世界最大。1990年代酒厂全部关闭,场地主要用于拍摄电影和电视剧(在此拍了800多部片子)。进入新世纪后,改建为集住宅、商店、酒吧、餐厅、艺术空间为一体的综合徒步商业住宅区(类似于上海新天地)。这里是北美最大规模的维多利亚建筑群,共有40多栋受保护的遗产建筑,徒步其中仿佛回到维多利亚时代的伦敦。

冬天的蒸馏酒厂区更是愈夜愈美丽。12月的圣诞市场是全世界最美的之一,吸引无数游客前往拍照留念。1月-3月的灯光节则免费展示众多的光影艺术作品,令人叹为观止。

Cabbagetown North, Toronto

Cabbagetown is a heritage community, full of incredible homes and history dating back to the mid 1850s, brought back to life through restoration, renovation and community pride.

In the late 19th century the area was absorbed into the city. It became home to the working class Irish inhabitants who were employed in the industries along the lake shore to the south in Corktown. Brick Victorian style houses were built throughout the area. The name Cabbagetown purportedly came from stories of new Irish immigrants digging up their front lawns and planting cabbage. In this era the Cabbagetown name most often applied to the area south of Gerrard Street, with the part to the north still being called Don Vale. It was a working-class neighbourhood, but reached its peak of prosperity just before the First World War, which is from when many of the brick homes in the area date.
