Kensington Market, where people moving to the ebb and flow of world events make a pit stop. Among them, enclaves of hippies, struggling students, chefs shopping with integrity, preppies from the suburbs buying torn jeans from secondhand stores on gold credit cards, and savvy restaurateurs and shopkeepers who've seen it all. Last Temptation is a cafe named after a novel by Kazantzakis and owned by William Pham.
