Kingston’s Most Instagrammable Destinations

There is a reason Kingston’s staple hashtag (#ygk) has more than 195,385 posts (and counting) on Instagram. It’s because this town is filled with eye candy! Between our parks, cafes, architecture and waterfront – the photo opportunities are endless. I might be a little bias, but I like to think we live in one of the most photogenic cities. If you’re looking for the best places to capture Kingston’s good side(s) (there are many!) look no further than my list below, #ygk’s most Instagrammable spots.

NORTHSIDE Espresso and Kitchen

View this post on Instagram

A rare quiet moment in this space made us stop + think of the whirlwind week we have just had. We are so incredibly grateful to those who have supported us, who have eaten with us, drank coffee + just generally been great humans. We were overwhelmed with the support of the community of local businesses who welcomed us each in their own special way. Thank you legends @lspdesigns @everlovin @stonecityales @theelmcafe @dallasdelahunt @slate.studio @49th @tristanadams @zoeyanovsky @fairtradecoffeeco @panchanchobakery @chezpiggy @ygkcollective @nickallinsondotca @bayview_farm_restaurant
