The Tallest Poppy, Talia Syrie’s West Broadway haunt, is a bright and homey favourite for the neighbourhood’s artists and cool kids. Local art, touches of kitsch, and mismatched chairs give the feel of a lively living room. To eat, comforting soul food, killer cocktails, and twists on classic diner fare. Try the buttermilk fried chicken and waffles drizzled with maple syrup.
