Taste of Little Italy 2025

This was my first time at Taste of Little Italy although I have been to Taste of the Danforth many times so I kind of knew what to expect, namely local restos setting up roadside food stations, live music, big crowds etc. They are expecting 250,000 people over the weekend!

Lots of crazy food options

Including some of my favourite restos like Café Diplomatico and Duff’s Famous Wings

My initial plan was to have something Italian like this

But I got drawn in by G Dog and WE Burger

I had the Germany dog

Making the dogs

And here it is!

There were lots of cool shopping options too. This was my favourite of the street vendors

I picked up a pin of the Twins from The Shining lol

There were a few vintage stores as well

I also took the opportunity to do some more serious shopping! I have seen Wonder Pens at the Scriptus Pen show but have never been to their actual store, located right in the middle of today’s event.

As usual, I did some pre-show research and went in with intention of checking out the new Sailor Area 51.

It was nice although i didnt end up buying it. I did pick up some Wearingeul Tick Tock Croc ink though. They have the best marketing lol. BTW, very nice people at the store.

I was also SUPER happy to discover a new airsoft/tactical gear, and knife store!!!!

I find John Wick everywhere! Lol so funny. I was talking about John Wick in connection to this event yesterday and here are his guns.

I picked up a training/airsoft karambit and some John Wick patches

In addition to walking the entire length of College from Bathurst to Shaw for Taste of Little Italy, I also walked on Ossington from College down to Queen for some more exploration. Here is what I saw…
