Mystic Bookshop – 612 Dundas Street Mystic is a local institution and an absolute anchor in the OEV community. Having been taken over by new owners this past year, their mission remains true and their items remain atop the best of the best in all things occult, whitcraft, and natural. Whether you’re looking for a great read, handmade treasures, jewelry, incense, or candles, you’ll find it here along with so much more and most certainly won’t ever need to look elsewhere.

As we approach the fall, it’s a great time to look at all of the ways we can keep ourselves active (physically and mentally!) while the colder months move in. A great place to start is looking to all the subcultural wonders Old East Village has to offer. Whether you’re already enthusiastically a part of them or are looking to try out something new, read on and see the variety that lies just around the corner! Neo Tokyo The Anime Store – 787 Dundas Street Upon entering Neo Tokyo, you’ll encounter the treasure trove that is London’s only anime-specific comic book store. However, it’s more than comics offering novels, games, action figures, and candy amongst other items overseen by some of the nicest staff you’ll ever meet. Head on over and check it out for yourself, either for your ongoing or new hobby pursuit or to find that perfect gift for pretty much anyone you know, we’re entirely certain you won’t be disappointed.
London Skateboard Co-Op – 614 Dundas Street Another one of London’s finest, the LSC is this city’s only independently run skateboard shop that has been going strong for more than 20 years. They offer gear, clothing, shoes, and more with expert staff members to answer any of your questions and make sure you’re ripe and ready to get moving on four wheels. When it comes to skateboarding, look no further because you can’t find a better selection anywhere else!
Junction Climbing Centre – 1030 Elias Street Over this past decade, Junction has become the place to be for people of all ages and all skill levels looking to get active and have tons of fun doing so. Find your way up 35-foot walls, or take on their massive indoor boulder to test out your endurance, build up your ability, and discover your newest passion you probably didn’t even know you had! Plus, it’s a real bonus to go grab a pint and bite to eat next door at Anderson’s as a personal reward for all the hard work you just had oh so much fun doing!
