Cook Street Village

Near the bottom of Cook Street just northeast of Beacon Hill Park there is a cluster of boutiques, coffee houses, restaurants and stores known as Cook Street Village. It's a very comfortable couple of blocks, well shaded by big trees and almost always well-peopled. It has a laid back lazy atmosphere - there's always people chatting on the sidewalks. There's a couple of ethnic restaurants, a pub, a second hand clothing store, TWO health food stores, a small supermarket, a convenience store and a drug store. It feels like it would be a nice place to live.
