Along Waterloo Rd and it's side streets you will find  a number of galleries, small shops and workshops. The neighborhood is best explored when they have Walk all over Waterloo event with open galleries, live music and more. Making a stop doing the day Shooters is a nice stop for coffee and bagels. Need more food, the pizza at  Citizen Pie is also  a nice stop.
