Score Breakdown

About this Neighborhood

Centred on Yonge Street north of the 401, North York is a former city of nearly 673,000 that punches hard on food: 88 restaurants averaging a superb 4.7, plus 13 coffee shops and 17 parks tied together by a near-perfect 98 walk score. Hay Sushi, Sang-Ji Fried Bao, and Kajiken lead a Yelp scene averaging 4.7 across more than 700 reviews. Foursquare's palette makes the neighborhood's identity plain — ramen shops, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese restaurants, sports bars, and cafés — one of the region's deepest East Asian dining maps. Founded back in 1922, it has grown into a genuinely urban district where the eating is the main event and the parks give you room to recover.
