About this Neighborhood
New Toronto occupies Toronto's southwestern lakeshore, between Mimico and Long Branch, a neighborhood that was its own municipality until amalgamation in 1967 and still carries that self-contained character. Eleven parks — the highest count in this batch — are partly explained by the lakefront: Colonel Samuel Smith Park and Rotary Peace Park are actual destinations. The restaurant scene (31 venues) is above the cohort average of 22.05 for its peer group; The Big Guy's Little Coffee Shop and Speed Roll & Thai suggest a food identity in formation, though McDonald's at the top of the list indicates that development is in progress. Social glue at 58 with 14 dwell venues is moderate; the parks are carrying community infrastructure weight the commercial scene can't. Three coffee shops is thin — The Sydney Grind's presence suggests this is being remedied.
