Best Rated Movie Theaters in York

"The TIFF Lightbox is one of those places that helps to solve the conundrum "I'm bored!" without turning to your Smartphone. This building is set up to allow you to watch all of the film festival favorites, as well as the fantastic films that slip under the radar when the next Avengers movie dominates the box office. There are snacks (guacamole instead of popcorn should become a thing everywhere) and they do not frown at people who see wine as a perfectly viable concession snack."

"Toronto is famous for the Toronto International Film Festival, which delivers as much clout in the sphere of film as the likes of Cannes and Sundance. Although the festival takes place in September, TIFF has a permanent space in the city known as the Lightbox which can be enjoyed all year round. The building houses five public cinemas, two galleries and three learning studios."

It is a 2000-seat playhouse located only a block away from the historic Royal Alexandra Theatre. The theatre is the first privately owned Canadian theatre to open since 1907."

"Live entertainment is one of the best parts of coming to Canada. Princess of Wales Theatre hasn’t been around for even thirty years, but it’s definitely one of the city’s best theaters. You can see stellar plays in one of the most beautifully designed theaters in Canada."

"The Massey Hall in Toronto is the venue where one can enjoy a variety of art forms, from classical music to jazz to international dance troupes. Gifted to the city by the Massey family, this architectural beauty was designed by Sidney Badgley at a cost of $152,390.75.

Stay aboard for the full two-hour tour, or if you're itching to tackle Toronto , hop off at one of the 21 stops, which include many of Toronto's top attractions, such as the CN Tower, the Eaton Centre, Art Gallery of Ontario, Casa Loma and the Royal Ontario Museum. Consult with the guides for optimum planning and when the busses will be stopping at certain locations. Don't miss the boat tour at the Harbourfront, which is included in your ticket."

Across from the Eaton Centre there are some restaurants a few storey’s up where you can grab a place on the patio and overlook all of the action in the square."

"The Royal Alexandra Theatre—or the Royal Alex, as it’s known—is a pretty spiffy affair. The newly restored 1907 Beaux-Arts triumph is, in fact, North America’s first properly royal theater. It gained its title thanks..."

"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. "

"Planta started with a simple goal in mind: to create delicious food that helped propel environmental sustainability – and delicious meals. Since then, Planta has found a happy home in cities all over North America, but Toronto is where you’ll find the flagship location. The chic, light-flooded locations across the city look nothing like what you’d expect from a vegan restaurant, and the food that follows is just as surprising."

"Planta Yorkville is a casual/upscale vegan dining experience. The restaurant is bright and beautiful, and the menu has a variety of small and large plates. The small plates are perfect for sharing: cauliflower tots, bang bang broccoli, and fully loaded nachos."

"Stefano’s Sandwiches operates out of Ufficio restaurant, and they offer 100% vegan sandwiches. I can’t wait to try these sandwiches as I’ve heard such amazing things. Vegan turkey, chicken, corned beef sandwiches…it’s not like any other place in the city!"

"Craving the authentic Italian experience but you have to bring your vegan friend?. Maybe YOU’RE the vegan friend?. Regardless, Ufficio does pasta on another level!"

"Fennel Organic Eatery is a 100% vegan establishment tucked inside Noah’s Naturals. They offer a takeout buffet with 18+ different hot and cold items daily. They also have snacks, soup, baked goods, juices, and more."

"This hybrid, and beautifully-themed gourmet junk food extravaganza is every late-night munchie fantasy come true. Playful fusions of popular junk food merge to create Instagram-ready creations including edible cookie dough served à la scoops of ice cream ($4.95 CAD or about $4 USD), waffle sandwiches filled with fried chicken or pulled pork ($8.95 CAD or $7 USD), or the most decadent mac and cheese burrito ($4.95 CAD). When at Junked Food, you go big and then you go home."

"There’s no doubt that Torontonians take their barbecue seriously, and they’re grateful to Big Crow for bringing tasty barbecue options to brunch. Relax at this back-porch addition to Rose & Sons in warmer seasons, or head inside during the cold winter months; picnic benches fill the space complete with patio lanterns affixed to pressure-treated wooden slat walls. Choose a Caesar salad, chocolate banana bread with maple butter, hot smoked salmon, fried egg tostada, or a verscht on toast."

"People keep coming back to Rose and Sons for its unique atmosphere—all the nostalgia of a deli, but with a glossy, contemporary vibe. It's a brunch where you can feel comfortable diving headfirst into a half-pound pastrami platter while discussing your next yoga retreat to Tulum. And obviously, it wouldn't be a good deli without good pastrami, and owner Anthony Rose has a recipe that doesn't disappoint."
