TWO new restaurants coming on WELLINGTON @ Berczy Park. This one - it was going to be Char pre-covid - and the one next door "Grandma Loves You" (coffee, snacks, breakfast)

I've been watching these as well. It's great to see those gaps in the street front filling in now that the interminable construction is done (knock on wood).

According to the liquor permit I saw on the door last month, the almost-Char location at 40 Wellington is going to be something called Taberna Social. There's also a Google map link for it at https://maps.app.goo.gl/g87T3wPkV7Rd6LsJ6 which in turns links to a website related to a restaurant that was briefly open in Bracebridge. It seems to be related to the Playa Cabana chain, which has a location two doors west of this one. Curious to see what it will end up being.

Yes, some people do like the idea of adjacent parking but the BIA, the SLNA and , I think, Councillor Moise ARE in favour of a permanent closure of Market Street. I suggest that you (and others!) email Moise to ask him why it is reopening and urge him to sort this out. Councillor Moise <Councillor_Moise@toronto.ca>

Of all the sneaky places I've used to park around the market, I've never actually considered Market Street north of Esplanade before. I'm surprised there'd be that much interest in it for parking - especially given how much trouble it is to get to. Though I suppose if you are coming from the north, you might simply get lucky heading to the Market Street parking garage.

Perhaps that entire block should be handicapped parking only.

It is popular with Market merchants and some customers as its closer than the Green P but the whole idea is for a FULLY PEDESTRANISED street 365 days a year. If it is always no cars it can get better 'street furniture'

There's only like 10 spots on the whole street, which I'm pretty sure are snapped up every day by people who work at the market, not people who shop there.
