St. Lawrence Market, Toronto

St. Lawrence Market is located at 95 Front Street East, Toronto.  There are hundreds of vendors selling wide selections of meat, veggies, seafood items, bread & pastries, fruits, dairy products, flowers...etc under one roof.  There are two floors in this building and I'm sure you can spend a nice afternoon here.  Finding a parking spot during weekends can be a hassle but you can always pay a small fee at the parking meter and park nearly.  http://www.stlawrencemarket.com/
