If you are looking for a great lunch, go early. Everything that you need for a picnic as it's in the same shop as Sunnyside Market. Pizza, Sandwiches, amazing chocolate chip cookies, chocolate croissants to die for and a best kept secret... Bureka - a puff pastry with hard boiled egg, get it heated with green harissa. Amazing!

Walk north from the condo, to the river and walk east along the park. You'll see some great sights, walk past the Peace Bridge, Princes Island Park, Eau Claire and end up at the East Village - a great place to get a coffee, have some lunch and get your nails done. This is an up and coming neighbourhood and there's always something happening there. It's about a 30-40 min walk
