But during the harsh winter…read moreseason, it had moved inside to The Great Hall on Queen St West. $5 admission can make or break the deal, at least for me. Decent to wander around, Most of the stalls are selling antique and reused items. If you are looking for used loathing's, furniture, keepsakes maybe this is for you. I was a little disappointed because there were only a handful of vendors and I was expecting a lot more! There were a few food vendors including Manual Labour Coffee for some pour over coffee, FeasT.O for dumplings and Ramen.. I might wait till the weather is nice and warm again visiting the outdoor market instead.

If you enjoy outdoor festivals and looking at unique things, take a gander at the flea market once a month. For a $2 admission, the parking lot is filled with stalls of different vintage and antique dealers, among them some artists. Some things seemed very over priced, but others quite reasonable. A lot of the things I over heard was, "omg I used to have that!" Or "My mom has something like that", while they kept walking. Although a lot of people keep walking just looking at the novelties, if you're looking for something specific like a decorative piece, an old toy reminding you of your childhood, or some vintage clothes or cooking equipment, you'll find it here. Best part (and the only reason I think my husband in enjoys this with me) is the beer and munchies they sell. There's a beer stall, tacos, homemade popsicles and a coffee trailer. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!

If you have an afternoon to spare and want to explore a neighborhood on foot, then Kensington…read moreMarket is your place. It is the most walkable neighborhood, full of independent shops, nearly dilapidated houses being still lived in, and brightly colored alleyways. The 'backstreet' vibe shifts to thrift-store/flee market vibe into food street within minutes. There is always more to discover and explore when you are done exploring. An afternoon is well-spent at Kensington market.

Ok, so I was not entirely sure what to expect here, I pictured in my head a marketplace with a…read morebunch of trinkets and shiny things to peddle to tourists. What it actually is, is a small neighborhood of fantastic little boho shops, restaurants and cafe's. There is artwork all over the place, on buildings, for sale in yards, featured in most of the shops. It is just so relaxing, and a great way to destress, just walking around this area, talking to people, popping into shops and enjoying some coffee. I highly recommend adding this stop when visiting the city, public transportation has stops all close enough to easily get here and enjoy your day!

This review is mainly for the food stalls in the back of the flea market. I've been coming here…read moreregularly so I work in the area I almost wish this place was open on the weekdays. Get some really authentic street food is what I would say this place. It can be hit or miss but I know spots that have really done a great job offering really good fare. Sin Fronteras offers Spanish filled meat pies. I also got a nice beef patty and Coco bun from next door. Some amazing tacos or some Trinidadian food is also my favorite, drop by if you're in the area I think this place is really underrated. Outside is a food truck where you can get decent Italian sausage and fries for $6.

The store is reasonably well organized - of course, people end up trashing things here and there after checking instead of putting it back to its original place which created a bit of chaos. The parking outside is good but if not available one can always park on the plaza opposite side of the road.

Check the box and you will notice that everything is replicated to match the original with the exception that the 'FINISHING TOUCH' BRANDING IS NOTICEABLY MISSING on the ones being sold here, that is why it is $5.99. (They falsely advertise it like the real thing, listing its regular / retail cost as $29.99) I unfortunately and wrongfully assumed that they would be selling legitimate brands / items and just purchased a couple of items from them but upon close examination of the Flawless hair remover and comparing it to the real one after I came home, I realized I had been bamboozled and I now question and have to double check everything else I purchased from them. Not that I can return anything because of their "all sales are final" policy. I took the time to write this to caution the public so others are aware as I would have liked to be prior to visiting this place. As I mentioned, this was the first item I checked; I am still yet to closely examine / verify the other "branded" items I purchased from them.

Dr. Flea's Market Review…read more Dr. Flea's Market is a vibrant hub with a wide variety of stalls offering everything from clothing, hardware, and supplements to IPTV and international beauty products. I truly enjoyed exploring the cultural mix--especially the food! I treated myself to an incredible spread: refreshing jackfruit, soursop, and sugarcane juices; flavourful Trini dishes like baked chicken and rice, pholourie, fish balls, dahlpuri, oxtail and rice; and ended with fresh young coconut water straight from the shell--complete with jelly--and a sweet Guyanese pine tart. Yum! I'll definitely be back. I even saw someone buying 20 young coconuts pre-cut and ready to go for a home party--what a great idea!

Truth be told, I'm not a huge flea market connnaiseur, but this one is pretty cool. It has a nice variety of items, from fashion, to accessories, jewellery, fragmences, food, toys, tools, small home appliences, electronics, phone stuff, car stuff, psychics and more. It's a great place to practice your haggling skills. I think the best part was that Dr Flea himself, the myth the man the legend, was there giving away prizes to customers. He periodically speaks over the speakers announcing what's happening and holds little games like: "the first two people to find me and show a hair pin will win a prize". Now people, this is a flea market. It's cheap stuff for cheap. Don't come here expecting a high end shipping experience. It's crowded, messy, and confusingly organized. But chances are there's more than a few things in there you need and it won't cost you too much to take home.

While a sign warning you that you are on camera serves as your only greeting ( the person at the counter in the back either "does not speak" or "leaves you alone to let you shop" depending on how you look at it.) Art of Demolition has a nice range of old eclectic stuff similar to what you would see at a flea market. Old license plates, records, and posters, as well as larger items such as chest coca cola coolers (they had a fairly nice one for 700$) are here as well. Recently, they did some spring cleaning/reorganizing so it is much easier to navigate the small space. If you like old odds and ends, The Art of Demolition may have that special something you were looking for.

My main destination is the "Roti Palace" stand. It's at the far end of the mall next to the McDonalds. They serve an awesome roti or rice and peas. (see my separate review) There is an Indian gift shop that sells Hindu art and CDs, and a store with Afro-centric jewelery and clothes. Do you need gold, door-knocker earrings? You have come to the right place. There used to be a big department store here called "Walia-Mart" (why yes the logo DID look familiar). Now it is called "Home Target".

Tinneil's Patties I think. That department store was called Walia-Mart, then Home Target, now Home Variety. Word around the mall is the keep going bankrupt and changing Company name so they can stay in business and still "steal" from their suppliers without having to pay them. It also looks like they just copy what everyone else in the mall has, so I avoid them. Happy Shopping.
