rfmcdonaldWest Queen West, the neighbourhood where I lived after first moving to Toronto stretching along Queen Street West from Bathurst almost to Dufferin, has been rated by Vogue magazine as the second-trendiest neighbourhood in the world. See The Globe and Mail's summary.
Does this mean I'm cool, too?
“Toronto is currently enjoying newfound prominence – and desirability – amongst globe-trotting tastemakers,” Vogue’s Nick Remsen writes on the magazine’s website.
“Queen Street West is a verifiable artery of indie patisseries, homegrown labels, and hidden-from-view galleries – hallmarks of hipness, if ever they existed,” he said, highlighting the publication’s September issue.
“It’s also the home of the Museum of Contemporary Canadian art, well-established ‘art’ hotels The Drake and the Gladstone, and the charming Bicyclette, a local clothing boutique and lifestyle brand whose owners love ‘glitter, DIY projects, treasure hunts and details,” it adds.
“Soho House Toronto is nearby, as is Grafitti Alley a block where street art is both 100-per-cent legal and lauded.”

The "West Queen West" area has its own website, and describes the two-kilometre region as the "creative heart" of the city, boasting more than 300 galleries, shops, eateries and other businesses.
