  • Several places serving superb polyglot East-West Indian "roti" curry wraps scattered between Palmerston and Spadina, on the North side of the street. Get it hot, don't miss the point.
  • A bunch of great sushi places that are pretty reasonably priced (to say the least): Sushi Time, Sushi On Bloor, and a few more that you can spot by strolling between University and Spadina on Queen. Try The Swan for scrambled eggs with oysters for brunch.

  • The Bovine Sex Club is a Queen Street institution at 542 Queen west of Spadina. It has no sign or visible window, but can be recognized on the north side of the street by the large selection of metallic junk welded together as what passes for their sign. It caters to an extremely eclectic crowd of people - some with mohawks, some who wear their mohawks inside their head - and plays an eclectic range of music. If you are not scared by the term 'punk' then you should be right at home. Note that the 'Sex' in the bar's name is purely provocative - this is not a strip club or swingers bar.
  • The Horseshoe Tavern is another Queen St. W. institution just east of Spadina, which specializes in quality modern live music. Assorted bands and artists perform almost every night of the week, at a range of ticket prices. Although the name suggests country and western, the entertainment rarely has any relation to that genre, falling instead into the broad category of Alternative Music.
