Neighbourgoods Market

You'll want to defend your espresso from the sudden swipe of a passing baguette at this thriving Saturday morning community market (open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.) in the easterly district of Woodstock. Here, in an 8,600-square-foot, glass-covered warehouse, hipsters, foodies, and families gather to peruse the wares of some 120 vendors. There are gorgeous flowers and organic produce as well as pack-in-your-suitcase goodies of the dried and jarred variety—but some of the best eats here are meant to be enjoyed while strolling, or at central long trestle tables (try the tarts and meringues from Queen of Tarts or spicy Cape curries from Cumin).

Insider Tip: Unless you're an intrepid driver, take a taxi to get here. The narrow streets around the market can be intimidating, and parking is insanely difficult.
