I visited Stackt market this weekend for an art appreciation event. I discovered this event online…read moreand thought it would be a cool experience to see art from different artists around the world. There were a few different exhibits, and one of the artists that caught my eye was an Iraqi Canadian artist who portrayed her struggles, trauma, and experiences through her artistic creations. it was wonderful seeing the different creativity levels of all artists. my favourite art pieces were the ones portraying different emotions through colors. I thought it was a unique perspective on how certain emotions could be perceived. There were also many food stands, including tacos and churros. along with that there were some shops with small local businesses, including vintage shops, accessory shops, digital camera, stores, and photo ops. I found a lot of cute clothes at the vintage store and some high-quality digital cameras. The scenery was absolutely beautiful with yellow dim lighting, along with colourful stands, and shops, and art displayed all over the area. i've been to Stackt multiple times and they always have such fun little experiences that are great for family outings hanging out with friends or going on a date. The workers at all of the shops were super kind and helpful when I had questions about certain items, pricing and value. all items were made of good quality and definitely worth their price since they are handmade with lots of effort and care put behind the work. we also experienced a really unique and fun service, which was an alien tarot reading. The artist asked us to think of a relaxing, calm moment and pick a card that's calling out to us. Then she explained the meaning behind the card and how it applies to our life. She was super enthusiastic and added a fun twist of an intergalactic alien theme which made her service stand out compared to other tarot readers. I would definitely recommend taking a visit to Stock market for a fun experience, delicious food, and cool items.

There is a lot of outdoor seating, outdoor space, food spots and shops. Most of the individual shops and food have pretty tight spaces because of the shipping containers.

Food spots seem like they are coffee, dessert, street food or something that could potentially work as a food truck or somewhere small like this.

The pop-up boutique, in a beautifully designed space by Yabu Pushelberg in the Hazelton Hotel, is full of the things championed by Goop: artisanal teas, yoga pants (by Goop's label G.

My wife and our best friends did Dinner with a view in Toronto and we had a blast. Food was…read moreawesome, wine was good, and was a cool experience for a private little night of dinning. I work in hospitality so I know that sometimes there are some hiccups along the way, especially when you're talking about an operation of this size - the server brought us the wrong drink order but made up for it by comping the next round and so, oh well no big deal, and for sure I would say that the service and our server specifically (can't remember her name) was really attentive. But because I work in hospitality I also am critical of quality of food, and things that some don't notice in terms of cleanliness etc and the presentation overall was really great. You pay for the experience, like anything else, but we were really happy with the night and recommended our friends check it out in Vancouver when it was there as well. I'd go again next time they're in TO!

If I could give 0 stars I would…read more We (along with 2 other couples) purchased an experience with #dinnerwithaview at Piedmont Park. Let me start with pros: it was a neat experience, our server was very friendly, we were with great company and overall had fun together. (We will have fun no matter what!). The concept was a great idea. The only good food was the chocolate mousse dessert! Now the cons: it was WAY overpriced for the experience. People say "you pay for the experience" bull crap! Not only do you purchase tickets in advance for food and reservation, when you go that price does not include drinks or the service charge. Additionally for the price we paid, the food was down right gross. 1. It took us 45 minutes to get a drink. 2. We were over an hour and half in before we got food 2. The rolls they served I'm pretty sure were Hawaiian Rolls with a side of garlic butter 3. The soup, I don't know what the hell was in it but by the time we got it, it was cold and I couldn't even, it it GROSS. 4. You get a choice of beef chicken and we got one of each. The chicken was so salty and insanely dry I could not eat it. The beef was supposed to be short rib, it was pot roast. 5. You had to take a golf cart to get to the restrooms. In the end they bring you a final check we knew would be a service fee and drink charges. I about hit the floor. For what they charged for drinks I could nicely stock a small bar. Beware of "death by fees". We were charged a fee to rent the dome, a service fee, a credit card fee, a processing fee when we prepaid for the dinner AND and another service fee on the final check which by the way was over the entire bill including the prepaid portion. (In which we already paid a fee) In the end the price for 6 people cost more than an all day trip to Epcot at Disney and would have got better food and drinks there. Anywho for anyone thinking of trying this out I highly recommend you don't. SAVE your money and take your friends or significant other somewhere else !!

There's a mix of genuine vintage (in varying states of wearability--I saw a few broken zippers and torn sleeves) and stage costumes, but the selection is absolutely incredible and the prices are on par with what you'd see in Kensington Market. The best part is the incredible size range--there are tons of clothes in double-digit sizes. Sizes aren't marked, though some dresses have masking tape labels with bust and waist measurements. Well worth a visit.
