Life of Fife (6.4 km)

The Bridle Path is famous for being the richest address in Toronto. Most people don't realize that the neighbourhood just to the north is equally affluent. Fife Road and Fifeshire Road are lined with swanky mansions, one of which was featured in a highly successful Canadian comedy. This hike is an opportunity to gawk at luxury homes before we exit into the lush foliage of Windfields Park. The park is also home to the bucolic Canadian Film Centre. Unfortunately, rich neighbourhoods don't have good restaurants. There's only one decent one, a Cantonese restaurant, where we can have dinner. **Highlights** 1. York Mills Arena (depart 6:15 pm) 2. Mansions of Fifeshire Rd 3. St. Andrews Park 4. York Mills and Bayview Ave (depart 6:55 pm) 5. Canadian Film Centre 6. Windfields Park 7. Banbury Community Centre (depart 7:30 pm) 8. Pearl Chinese Cuisine (arrive 7:55 pm) **Neighbourhoods** St Andrews > Windfields **Map** [https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1LX-fTnFET4MwGjl5zzE6CG1epvLdcTM&usp=sharing](https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1LX-fTnFET4MwGjl5zzE6CG1epvLdcTM&usp=sharing) **How it works** Hike starts punctually. Late or can't do the whole route? Meet us at scheduled checkpoints. See our [home page](https://www.meetup.com/hike-to-eat/) for more info.
