chinatown & little italy
Where pho meets penne
Little Italy and Chinatown join at Preston Street and Somerset Street West like two overflowing rivers of culture . Shops , restaurants , and counters mix local businesses of all backgrounds with the flavours of Cantonese , Greek , Italian , Korean , Vietnamese and Thai . Grocers from around the world pepper a flavourful foodie landscape full of eateries , cafes and local favourites — from gelato to prosciutto , and dim sum to roast duck . These lively , dynamic streets are also home to late-night clubs ( comedy , theatre and music ), cocktail bars , bistros , and popular pubs . Come early or come late , it doesn ’ t matter , but come often . chinatown arch
