Hipster park. Grab food or coffee across the street from the park on Queen from a number of popular restaurants (tacos, greek, fish and chips) and hang-out in the park. Or you can go to Ossington and grab some craft beer and food from Bellwoods Brewery and walk over.

Declared by Vogue as the second hippest neighborhood in the world (we think this is a stretch ;). Start at the Drake Hotel and walk West to Bathurst street. You can visit the Ossington strip and Trinity Bellwoods park along the way. From Vogue "Queen Street West is a verifiable artery of indie patisseries, homegrown labels, and hidden-from-view galleries – hallmarks of hipness, if ever they existed."

Food scene
Cool Brewery in a developing area. The Drake 150 is next door. This area is 5 years out from being really interesting. For now you can go to the Drake, the Henderson Brewing Co. and the Museum of Contemporary Art.
