Toronto Travel: A Neighbourhood Portrait - The Beaches - Potala Gift Shop

This video clip was taken on October 14, 2007 during my neighbourhood walk through the Toronto Beaches neighbourhood. The Beaches (or "The Beach") is an extremely popular neighbourhood in Toronto. It is located right next to Lake Ontario and has a great boardwalk that is frequented by bicyclists, dog walkers, families with strollers, joggers, beach volleyball players, kite flyers and many more. Queen Street East itself is a great shopping area with tons of ecclectic stores and plenty of restaurants and cafes. The Beach is one of Toronto's great neighbourhoods.

I had a chat with the owner, Serge, who told me a little about himself, showed me around his restaurant and introduced me to his multi-cultural team. Serge also filled me in on all the historic features of this property, a building that dates back all the way to 1910.

I am actually a travel writer who loves to explore international destinations as well as my chosen home town of Toronto. On Youtube you will find hundreds of video clips from a wide variety of destinations. Feel free to check out some of my 700+ articles and interviews on http//www.travelandtransitions.com.
