"International Village has something to for everyone! Amazing dining, quaint coffee shops, self care, pet stores… Every time I enter an establishment in International Village, I’m greeted with warmth. Any event that I’ve been to in International Village has always been an incredible time! Susie Braithwaite, the Executive Director of the BIA truly cares about the people, the businesses and the community! Spring has sprung in International Village and I, for one, am looking forward to supporting all of the businesses in the BIA!"

"Love going to The Village! I have been to their events at the Station and always grab food at old fave Denninger's foods of the world.
Studio 205 is a must stop. Looks like a few new businesses have set up shop in this eclectic and vibrant area!
Will definitely be back soon to give North Fork and Brothers Grimm Bistro a try for a bite to eat and a drink. 2 thumbs up! :)"

"Lots of fantastic restaurants, cafes shops and theatre to be found here in the heart of the city. The BIA does an excellent job of capturing the stories of their members on their instagram @internationalvillagebia, advocating at City Hall on behalf of local biz and coming up with new events and promotions to showcase local offerings."
