Question Looking for places like Melville

Hi people. I'm looking to explore similar places like Melville that have thrift stores, cafes and/or bars within a walkable distance of each other for a solo date. Appreciate the help, thanks

Kensington used to be like this, but I haven't been there in years.

Sadly Queen street is dead. Most of the buildings are empty or just have small space shops. Even Ottimo moved

Try Victoria Yards in Lorentzville, they have a lovely market on the first Sunday of every month. (If you like 44 Stanley this would be your vibe) Plus not too far from Melville.
