"Did you know Toronto is home to the world's best food market?. According to National Geographic magazine, the St. Lawrence Market in the southeast end of the city's downtown core has the globe's greatest collection of vendors selling all manner of food. Walk around the indoor marketplace, in operation since 1803, and you'll find permanent vendors hawking the freshest seafood, cheeses from around the world, and meats and produce grown just outside the city."
"Old York's sensational St Lawrence Market has been a neighborhood meeting place for over two centuries. The restored, high-trussed 1845 South Market houses more than 120 specialty food stalls and shops: cheese... Top ChoiceTower in Entertainment & Financial Districts"
"Whether you are a former Toronto Maple Leaf or more like Bambi on the ice, it is always a romantic choice to hold hands and attempt to stay upright on skates. Nathan Phillips Square is the perfect place to while away a romantic hour or two. Located right in front of City Hall and around the corner from the Eaton's Centre and popular restaurants, it is a great activity to sandwich between other downtown pursuits."
"This year, due to the pandemic, the Toronto Outdoor Art Fair created an online platform where you can buy from artists and designers all year long!. Check out the site for artworks including jewellery, ceramics, printmaking, textiles and more, and find local shops that support Toronto makers. www.torontooutdoor.art"
"The ingenious minds behind Nathan Phillips Square clearly had photographers in mind when they designed the urban plaza. Anchored by a massive fountain, the water creates striking reflections of new City Hall and the Toronto sign that frames the square. Nathan Phillips Square"
"A post shared by Jae Yang (@silentjae) on May 6, 2018 at 7:23pm PDT. Right on the University of Toronto campus is Queens Park. A gorgeous spot in the core of the city, you can spend the entire day exploring the pretty little nooks and crannies at UofT."
"Evergreen Brickworks is a former industrial site that has become a love letter to the green movement. Download a self-guided tour brochure or pick one up at the welcome desk and trod your own path along 40 acres of wilderness. Breathtaking nature is surprisingly accessible from the city center and if you need more reason to go, National Geographic shortlisted this space as one of the world's top 10 geo-tourism hotspots."
"A post shared by @joycemacfarlane on Jun 28, 2017 at 10:15am PDT. Brickworks is another great spot in the city where you can spend the whole day. The park and community space offers a ton of programming: from the locally grown produce available at the Saturday farmer’s market, to guided walks and hikes through the area."
"Take a guided tour around Elgin & Winter Garden Theatres – Toronto’s best-kept secret. This double-decker theatre is the last operating one in the world, making it even more impressive!. Go behind-the-scenes at Elgin & Winter Garden Theatres to take a closer look and learn about its fascinating history. You will be surprised how different the old-fashioned Elgin Theatre is from the forest-like Winter Garden Theatre on the upper level."
"This restored masterpiece is the world's last operating Edwardian double-decker theater. Celebrating its centennial in 2013, the Winter Garden was built as the flagship for a vaudeville chain that never really took off, while the downstairs Elgin was converted into a movie house in the 1920s. Fascinating tours run Mondays at 5pm and Saturdays at 10am. "
"What happens when America’s East Coast meets the West, and the two cuisines decide to shack up in Toronto?. Colourful plates of vegetable-filled goodness that keep the grease levels tasteful even for this all-important meal. The restaurant is only a few months old, but their farm-to-table approach has been a hit."
"If there were a People’s Choice Award for best Toronto buffet dining, odds are that this chain would walk away with the hardware. Never mind brunch; it’s ALL buffet, ALL the time, so no reason to wait until the weekend. Mandarin is a popular restaurant to feast with families, seniors, tour groups and anyone celebrating any kind of special event."
"Brunch at this brewery is an all-you-can-eat affair served Sundays from 11 am to 3 pm. Best of all this feast costs just $14 which should leave you with sums to spend on beer!. Address: 7 Marie Labatte Road, Unit E1, TorontoPhone: 416-384-1133"
"Restaurants North Toronto. What is it: Forget the latest hipster trends. Granite Brewery’s midtown location and traditional brewing mentality is for beer lovers that just want an honest-to-goodness pint."
