Toronto's Vibrant Bohemian Neighborhood : Kensington Market Walk w/

[@HengMiao]

I really like to vibrancy and diversity of the Kensington Market and local vibes. 😃 9:33 The Garden Car is a unique art display and concept that also serves as a community garden. 😎 38:14 This is an interesting short alley that leads to more hidden colorful structures. It's really neat to see all the murals, street art, and Victorian homes. 😍 Thank you for this fun walk through Kensington Market, AK and Johnny! 🤗

[@ActionKid]

It's such a fun area, I'm glad I had Johnny Strides guide me around Kensington Market

[@Nouvellecosse]

John and Ken nice to have a walk around!

[@louisetregomorgan4907]

I felt like I was transported to the past , the vibe was different. Lots of art, music 🎶 and food with a chilled atmosphere nice.

[@ActionKid]

Yes, it certainly felt that way!

[@jarihult]

Such a cool looking neighborhood with all those great looking restaurants , cafes, live music etc……😎I would like it there🙂Thank you A K for this relaxing and entertaining tour with Johnny Strides🙂👍!!!

[@ActionKid]

Glad you enjoyed it! It's a really diverse neighborhood with so much to explore

[@Sam-gs7yb]

NAH the whole city looks pretty bland. Like a 3rd class NYC inn terms of charm, attractions, history etc.. 😂

[@benlee6500]

Amazing start of the day AK with Johnny Strides...you will never get lost in this neighbourhood...vibrant and fairly busy...lots of foods for thoughts 😋 😀...beautiful weather in Toronto....regards from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia 🇲🇾 😀 ❤️

Hi ActionKid, this was wonderful. I wish you were there when I was in September so I could have said hi. You know, I've walked all around Kensington Market but for some reason I've missed these two areas 38:37and 40:57. Does this ever happen to you? You are the best, glad you came, have a good day where ever you are and maybe you'll be back some day!👍👍🚶‍♂🚶‍♂🐼🐼🌈🌈

[@ActionKid]

Glad you enjoyed it! It was such a fun place to experience and happy you're learning new things about the area.

[@Bobbybabybobbybubbie]

32:34 I made it into an Action Kid video (seated, in red t-shirt)! Would have said "hi" but it had been a while since I watched your channel so I was shocked to see you in Toronto and couldn't remember your name. The crowds and music that day were due to the Kensington Market jazz festival, which was that weekend. I hadn't been in the Market since before the pandemic, and gentrification has increased notably, and was already quite advanced in the ten or so years before. Kensington Market in 2010 looked quite different.

[@ActionKid]

So cool! I'm glad I was able to visit the Kensington Market and enjoy some of the music

[@mxr572]

used to be called the Jewish market years ago as many lived in the area and shopped there. newer immigrants moved in and now has all kinds of people. great walk west and east of Spadina.

[@boazvahalla]

The reason I love Toronto cause there is the Same excitement as New York City. Bacl in 1976 it was very neq to me. As an Teenager . Tpronto is Heaven during tge Winter.The great amount of Culture and the Fairly new Subway system back then. Plus I was staying in an 4 bedroom house in North Toronto.

[@valeriewood5515]

Loved this area although congested but fun ❗🤩😎

[@missyogiebear]

Loved the video AK and JS. Thanks guys. 👍🏻 🙂 Is Johnny's mic echoing abit? It seems abit off compared to your mic. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@bernardfriedman532]

Thank you for taking us through the neighborhood! This reminds me of Sheepshead Bay. Can we all take a moment and appreciate the drummer? I would be like him. There is a club I think you passed by that has a drummer. You are doing so amazing and thank you again for another video 😃

[@Beacon_NY]

Brooklyn as in Hipster Williamsburg and the other similar neighborhoods like Cobble Hill.

[@ActionKid]

Glad you enjoyed it! It's such an amazing area to be, and the drummer was fantastic!

[@lisalarose812]

You guys both work well together. Both low key and informative💚

[@ActionKid]

Thanks!

[@TeleportWalkers]

Nice video man! Good vibes!

[@p-ab4796]

King's Noodle used to be the best Chinese joint on Spadina... sad to hear they have new owners... hopefully they kept the same cooks and recipes!

[@totoroutes5389]

👍 Would be a neat idea to try: You, johnnystrides, and kencontinuum, for several hours walk together(the same route) and everyone operates their livestream camera simultaneously the whole time, and during a meal. Also, everyone have the others’ wireless mics so that each livestream would have all three voices.

[@ActionKid]

It would be fun

[@chesterfieldjones1055]

With Toronto Bikeshare, the first 30 minutes after you undock the bike, is free. The next 30 minutes (if you do not re-dock) results in charge ($4?). But if you re-dock after 29 minutes, you do not get charged. So, you actually get 59 minutes, not 30 minutes. It took me over 4 years to realize this.

[@dadejazzba402]

Johnny...very cool guy

[@trippyerinsd]

I’m ready to move into this neighborhood! 😊

[@C-mac_in_the_6ix]

Hey AK being a native of New Yorker, you might find this interesting: On one of those streets in Kensington (I believe on one of the less crowded ones) there's a vintage musical store called "Paul's Boutique" that sells vintage musical instruments and equipment. Sort of a tribute for one of the best groups to every come out of NY, The Beastie Boys!!!

[@ActionKid]

Oh cool, that's interesting! Thanks for sharing.

[@Neville60001]

44:20-These homes being torn down to make way for condos is _not_ a great or amazing prospect, and it needs to be fought, or _if_ it happens, said new and (sadly) inevitable condos need to have units that are rent-stabilised (i.e. rent geared to income, such as the one I'm living in right now in the apartment at the corner of Jarvis & Esplanade near the St Lawrence Market.) Despite all of that, this was another great video by you and Johnny Strides, Action Kid, and I'm glad that you came to Toronto and visited Kensington Market.

[@andrewmcfarland57]

"Vintage" store: the gentrification of Goodwill and St. Vinnys. 🙂 "When we were kids... "🙂

[@waltergarre6643]

Hello good video I like what do you film other city and country. Greet Sincerly from Uruguay and sorry by my english writing.

[@mr.everything9120]

You should go to Kensington Philadelphia and compare the two.

[@northernangel8]

Where are you today on Minday?

[@handsomeX]

Great video! Toronto looks a lot like most major cities in the northeast of the United States.

[@josephwind2089]

Has those East Williamsburg/Bushwick vibes except I don't know if there's any Jazz venues in that general area. Kinda more a crossover of Bushwick(for the grittiness) and Greenwich Village(for the Jazz venues.)

[@jonathanray5066]

Not enough jazz in this area or Toronto as a whole. Need more for sure ! Enough jazz fans they just gotta open more spots.

[@jeanbolduc5818]

tacky place.

[@georgiejackpot9540]

Kensington market is not at all like Brooklyn. It’s What Canadians think Brooklyn might be… also the tour guide talks like he’s always asking a question while he’s narrating . Not the Asian guy the other one

[@rosaannarilli4905]

Hi Georgie Jackpot, just so you know as a Canadian that have been in Brooklyn, NY a few times, I would not never compare those two places they are not at all alike! Brooklyn is an amazing city and Kensington Market is an area in Toronto.

[@nickkkyss7634]

Who said this ?? We don’t care about Brooklyn lol

[@georgiejackpot9540]

@@nickkkyss7634 the local tour guy assisting action kid mentioned some torontians think it’s liek brooklyn. I was just clarifying it’s absolutely nothing like Brooklyn. It’s more like a yuppyish attempt to try to be hip so they opened a soap and candle store here and there and some soft graffiti over dumpsters (clean ones)

@@rosaannarilli4905 agreed. Brooklyn here and follow action kids videos see him around town sometimes. When his local buddy said it’s like Brooklyn I dropped my coffee…
