As I posted last week, I was on a little vacation between my mega work week at work and I took the opportunity to take a weekend trip to the other end of the country. In my travels, I discovered that Toronto is really a cool place. Naturally, there are many Toronto haters so I’ve compiled a list of places I hit up and why they redeem Toronto:
Pizza Pizza – nuff said.
Lively streetlife – it’s very alive even on the streets that aren’t considered “17th Avenue” (that would be Queen Street West which I would call 17th on steroids).
Honest Ed’s – so tacky it’s awesome. Shame I never went in.
Queen Mary Cafe – it’s got a really kick ass charm. Good food too.
Kensington Market – some great vintage shops, grocery stores, it’s kinda like what Kensington here in Calgary is trying to be…but it seems more natural over in T.O.
Gladstone Hotel – karaoke! Along with general boozing. Now once I remember in detail what I did that night and why I think I broke something in my foot, I’ll get everyone in on the goods of this place.
