How Jackie O’Brien, owner of streetwear shop Jonathan and Olivia, would spend a perfect Saturday on Ossington

“My husband, Nic, and I chose to set up our shop on Ossington because of its mix of new, dirty, gritty and dynamic. I can’t imagine Jonathan and Olivia being anywhere else. In the morning, we’ll go to Crafted by Te Aro (135 Ossington Ave., 416-645-0273). Nic is a coffee-head, but I like their raspberry lemonade and fantastic chocolate cookies. We have a 20-month-old son, Phoenix, and we take him and our French bulldog, Estelle, to Trinity Bellwoods Park and to the community rec centre there (155 Crawford St., 416-392-0743) for a swim. We’ll wander back up Ossington to Côte de Boeuf (130 Ossington Ave., 416-532-2333) to pick up sausages and little jars of imported condiments for dinner. Nic knows the owner from Paris, where he’s from, and the shop has a French style that makes him feel at home. Just because we’re parents doesn’t mean we don’t go out. We’re always at Union (72 Ossington Ave., 416-850-0093) drinking wine—usually a French red—and we like to split the charcuterie plate and fries. When you’re in a neighbourhood for a long time, you find places you love and stick with them. Sweaty Betty’s (13 Ossington Ave., 416-535-6861) is one of those spots for us. We’ll end up on their great patio—the one with the tree in the middle—at the end of the night with a couple of pints.”
