Ahh summer! Last week we told you all about the summer events that we’re looking forward to in Yorkville, which is home to two of our projects 1 Yorkville and Exhibit. This week we’re heading a little bit further north to Yonge and Eglinton, another favourite neighbourhood of ours and home to E Condos, to see what’s on tap for the summer.

We’re big fans of both Summerlicious and Winterlicious and we’re already planning which restaurants we’re going to hit up when Summerlicious rolls around the first two weeks of July (July 4th – 20th). Can’t wait to see what Jaipur Grille, Tabule, and Quincé put on their Summerlicious menus this year!

Giving back to the community and promoting sustainability is a big deal to us, so it’s obvious that we enjoy spending time at the local farmers’ markets. In around the Yonge and Eglinton neighbourhood we’ve got a few AppleTree Markets to choose from! There’s the Davisville Village Farmers’ Market every Tuesday from 3 PM to 7 PM until October, and the Uptown Market (where AppleTree Markets got their start years ago) every Thursday from 11 AM to 7 PM also until October.

Even if there isn’t an event planned, it’s still a great idea (well, we like to think so) to just people watch on a nearby patio or go for a stroll in the neighbourhood. There’s plenty of cafes, including Aroma Espresso Bar, Ruelo Patisserie, and FormoCha Tea House, for you to spend your afternoons at.
