Mirvish Village 1970's (Artist: Bower Binns)

 

Mirvish Village is located at Bloor Street West and Bathurst Street, in midtown Toronto. For 40 years an enclave of art, culture and cuisine, Mirvish Village offers an out-of-the ordinary shopping and dining experience. Featured are specialty bookstores, vintage shops, art galleries, contemporary fashion, and five restaurants with patios on a quiet tree-lined street.

Conveniently located on the subway line, Mirvish Village is anchored by Honest Ed's, the landmark discount department store whose walls are lined with 40 years of Toronto's theatrical history. This world famous bargain centres' slogan for over half a century has been "There's No Place...Like This Place... Anyplace!!!"

Mirvish Village is a remarkable destination to stroll and explore. You are always welcome in Mirvish Village...there's truly NO PLACE LIKE IT!

The Mirvish Village BIA was approved in 2005 by Toronto City Council and named for the Mirvish family in recognition of Toronto's retail and show biz entrepreneur, Honest Ed Mirvish, who started Honest Ed's in 1941.
