Come visit St. Lawrence Market and be a part of the history of the Neighbourhood. It is very accessible to public transport in Toronto that made it easy to locate. The market caters for all consumable food items. There is a big space to have your lunch or dinner with wide array of menu selection. You can sit down and have Greek souvlaki, Korean food, Chinese and Arabic to name a few. You will definitely enjoy the place to eat and have food "to go" at reasonable prices. Fresh fruits and vegetables are always available for you. There is a lot more that you can find in this major market. I invite you to check information at www.stlawrencemarket.com

When Ryan (VT Member RSRaz) suggested a group of us visiting VT'ers might enjoy a trip to the St. Lawrence Market, boy was he right! Not only is the St. Lawrence Market near and in the midst of many other interesting destinations, but what an eye-opening experience for me, and I didn't get to see all!
In the short time we had here (45 minutes) my head was pulled in so many directions and my camera could not keep up with my eyes, but I tried my best to give you some flavor of the place and hopefully a greater incentive to make this a destination when in Toronto. You don't have to buy anything (I didn't), you can simply enjoy the diversity, color, and pagentry of a well-done market that works in many ways.
In this group of pictures you will see the exterior of this bustling market and that's not bad either! There is also a downstairs level to the main building and an annex across the street. I did not have time to visit the lower level, but I hope if you come here, you will and take pictures so that I can see what I missed! I won't miss it the next time, I promise!
I do have pictures of both the inside and outside of the annex across the street, so come along with me and enjoy the sights, smells, sounds, and sensations of the St. Lawrence Market! Leave a Comment Address: Front Street

If the visual stimulation of the many fresh vegetables & fruits displayed and available here can't convince you to embrace a healthy lifestyle, then I'm worried about you! I must admit that though I'm a "country boy" there were a few selections here that I was not familiar with, but would certainly be willing to try!
This selection of pictures were all taken in the Annex of the Market across the street from the previous ones, with the exception of the fruit pic taken inside the main building. There are exterior pictures of the Annex later, but for now just stroll with me and make your selections for the dinner we will prepare together... Ummm!

I have to confess that fish have never been a staple part of my diet simply because my family either didn't regularly have access to them or it just wasn't a part of our particular tastes. But, I understand that fish are very good for you unless they happened to be swimming in lakes of mercury or other contaminants...
But, if fish is your thing, you don't have to wet a line and fetch a pole, they are waiting for you here! Enjoy! Leave a Comment

Do I look fat in these jeans, Dear? They've become quite restrictive of late. Have you washed them in really hot water? I could swear they've gotten smaller! Leave a Comment

As we end our tour of the St. Lawrence Market, I share with you a few of the scenes taken just outside of the entrance. You will first see the mural that is painted on the wall of the Annex that truly depicts the contents inside. Then, a pair of enterprising and very good muscians who entertained with pretty good sense of marketing from the male perspective. Next, there is marketing that is of lesser taste in my opinion. In a world where names to buildings are for sale, billboards and advertising on buses and taxis cover the sides, and every form of entertainment we pay to see comes with an additional price... we must suffer some promotion or advertisement. And so, here are two people walking around with flat screens strapped to their backs proclaiming the virtue of some new movie. Now don't get me wrong, but I enjoy a good movie as well as you, but I would likely NOT go see the one advertised simply because I view it as an intrusion and definitely not what I wanted or needed to see while being a casual tourist. Call me old! Call me un-hip! Call me whatever, but let me call or choose to find information about the movie or attraction I choose to see! Don't put it in my face and expect me to like it. Ok, I feel better now! Ahhh!
The last pictures are of a greater view of the Annex with those fortunate enough to live so close. I would think this may be a "high rent" district but compliment them for their location. Then, I simply included a picture of a fountain in a small park near the Market because I liked it. I hope you do too! Leave a Comment

 St. Lawrence Market; Credits
to Mark Sykes by coolpanda87
There are currently three buildings that form today's St. Lawrence Market. They are:
South Market - The main and lower levels contain over 50 specialty vendors, known for the variety and freshness of their fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, grains, baked goods and dairy products, as well as for the unique non-food items on sale. On the second floor is Market Gallery, the official exhibition space for the City of Toronto Archives. Though few have survived, there still many interesting artifacts there, including the Mayor's chair.
Hours:
Tuesday to Thursday 8 a.m. -- 6 p.m.
Friday 8 a.m. -- 7 p.m.
Saturday 5 a.m. -- 5 p.m.
North Market's most popular component is the Saturday Farmer's Market, for farmers in Southern Ontario bring their seasonal produce here to sale. Experienced shoppers get to the North Market at 5 a.m. to buy the freshest food in town! On Sunday, this space accomodates over 80 antique dealers that sale anything from old rakes to vintage hockey cards.
North Market Hours:
Monday -- Saturday 7 a.m. -- 6 p.m.
St. Lawrence Hall (circa. 1850), houses retail businesses on the ground floor and City offices on the second floor. Leave a Comment

The highlight of the walking tour for me was a visit to the St. Lawrence market, an indoor food heaven with shops selling cheese, meats, baked goods and many other food items. If I had been on my own, I would have stayed here much longer and sampled some of the delicious prepared foods on the lower level and probably would have given into the urge to buy some of that horseradish mustard they were selling.
If you are there Thursday-Saturday, there is also a Farmer's Market across the street Leave a Comment

 Inside the South Market by tpal
Located on Front Street East at the corner of Jarvis Street, the St. Lawrence market is located in the 19th century home of the Toronto's City Hall. The market actually has four components: the South Market with permanent stands for vendors selling meats, seafood, fresh vegetables, baked goods and much more; the North Market which houses the Saturday farmers market; the Market Gallery above the South Market housing the Toronto Archives and; the St. Lawrence Hall housing retail businesses and offices.
We spent our time in the South Market amongst the smells and stunning displays of food and all sorts of goodies. The vendors were not the least bit put of by our request to buy tiny sample sized portions of all manner of good stuff. Leave a Comment
