Toronto elsewhere...

[King of Kensington]

What are some neighborhoods/communities in other cities that remind of you of a Toronto neighborhood?

Commodore Plaza in Coconut Grove, Miami, had a very Yorkville vibe for me, up to and including the POMO crap that somehow manages to look charming through the addition of patios, umbrellas and awnings. They also have a super tacky Canadian Moose - themed bar there for reasons unknown to me.

The Landing Strip in Parkdale strongly reminds me of the Bucharest neighbourhood I grew up in, while St. Jamestown could be at home in any number of ex-communist countries.

Driving on the 401 from West to East on a summer day has always reminded me of LA.

Parts of Broadway in Astoria (Queens) felt similar to stretches of the Danforth.

Astoria, Queens and the Danforth is a good one.

Queens NY reminds me quite a bit of Toronto. Both built up largely around the same time and housing stock is a similar mix of SFHs and big apartments. Rather similar ethnic composition too.

I love Leslieville, Beaches, and Riverside. I'm a big fan of the East end.

Butler St. in the Lawrenceville neighbourhood of Pittsburgh looks shockingly like Queen West.

Toronto's Dufferin Gate predates St. Louis's famous Gateway Arch.

The Brandenburg Gate looks similar to the Princes' Gates to the unexperienced tourist.

The Cinesphere predates EPCOT.

I love Leslieville, Beaches, and Riverside. I'm a big fan of the East end.

Because they remind you of Toronto?

Because they remind you of Toronto?

Nuff said

Among US states, Pennsylvania might have the most similar (late 19th/early 20th century) housing stock to Ontario.

The Spruce Hill area of West Philadelphia, which is near UPenn, reminds me quite a bit of the Annex:
