Stop outside Commander’s Palace, a beloved restaurant known for its Victorian charm. Continue past homes with Hollywood and music-industry ties, and hear stories of local culture, noise ordinances, and the neighbourhood’s evolving identity.
Cross into the Irish Channel, a former working-class district filled with shotgun-style homes and rich immigrant history. Enjoy a short break at a local spot before finishing near the streetcar line, with insider tips from your guide on where to eat, drink, and explore next.
