A peek inside Preston Street

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Ottawa

Yes. I spent (almost) an entire day on and around Preston Street this past weekend. It was time well spent. It’s changed so much over the past decade; the transformation is pretty amazing. And did you know that once the sun goes down there’s a totally different vibe? When’s the last time you’ve been to Little Italy?

Cardamom and Cloves

Right outside the Heart & Crown on Preston Street

Exploring all the shops on Preston Street

Coolest indoor bike racks ever

The Gladstone Theatre, just off Preston Street

The Spoon Children of Preston Street. a.k.a. The Bambini

Gelato

Simply Biscotti on Preston Street

A CLASSIC. The Prescott, on Preston Street.

Night falls on Preston Street.

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
