One can easily spend an entire week in Toronto and, with no objections, eat with chopsticks every night—and eat extremely well at that! Toronto boasts the second-largest Chinatown in North America (San Francisco having the largest). The gateway to the ethnic neighborhood is at the intersection at Dundas and Spadina Streets. Here the avenues are teeming with Asian culture, lined with countless markets and storefronts, much resembling the bustling streets of Hong Kong. Vendors sell live ducks and other meats at every corner, as pedestrians meander through produce stands and seafood stalls, browse herb shops and investigate massage parlors. Live crabs snap their claws in sidewalk buckets, young children hock fresh fruit and vegetables to passers-by, Asian spices scent the very air that resounds with the native tongues of Korea, China and Vietnam, while patrons negotiate prices in Eastern arts and crafts stores.
