Yonge and Sheppard is one of those Uptown Hubs that you might never think of venturing up to. It's the kind of Hub that you rarely think of, and a Hub that you might pass by on the subway everyday. But get off at Yonge and Sheppard and
you'll find a Hub with a flavour all its own, and enough to do for a low-key night in the northern part of the city! From independently-run Asian eateries to one of the least busy big-screen cinemas in the city, this is a
#TransitHubbing Adventure worth going on!

To get to the Yonge and Sheppard Hub, grab the subway from either the north-south direction, the Sheppard Line, or take the eastbound bus from Downsview Station. |

Walking north along Yonge will take you to a beautiful strip of restaurant patios... brrr!! |

Feel like Japanese food instead? Try this Sake and Wine Bar - look for the giant chopsticks! |

In the end, we settled for Korean - the food at Joons is a steal! |

Cap the night off at the Sheppard Grande cinema - big screens but very little traffic! |
