Toronto’s Queen West has a new plot twist: The Food Alley, a once-empty lot that’s now your go-to for global eats and vibey street food. It’s part pop-up, part permanent hangout and all about keeping your stomach entertained.
With plans to eventually host more than a dozen vendors, Food Alley’s starting lineup is lean but loaded. Right now, five spots are serving up everything from delicious tacos to barbecue that plays with fire. Here’s what’s cooking.
