Top 10 Things To Do, Activities and Attractions in Brampton

"Just down the road from the Gooderham is St. Lawrence Market, which has been a fixture in Toronto for over two centuries. Every week, more than 120 vendors set up shop, and their colourful displays bursting with the likes of organic produce, fresh-baked goods, homemade jam and Canadian cheeses are photo heaven."

"Toronto’s City Hall is the main draw here but the revitalization that’s been going on has locals coming back. Just above all the concrete, the City Hall podium roof has turned into a public garden offering solace from the politics below. The permanent theatre stage has live performances during many of the festivals held here and don’t forget to check out the Peace Garden which has relocated to the west side of the square."

"Why You Need To Go: Is it even summer in the 6ix if you didn't stop to pose with the Toronto sign in the square?"

"A post shared by George Longley (@george_art_longley) on Apr 26, 2018 at 1:49pm PDT. Just a tiny trek outside the city and you can check out Centennial Park Conservatory. It can be accessed between 10 a.m."

"Conveniently located right across from Christie subway station, you’ll find multifaceted Christie Pits Park. This large patch of green space has a lot going for it and is justifiably popular all year round thanks to the Alex Duff Memorial Pool (complete with water slide) in the summer and toboggan-worthy hills in the winter. The park is also home to three baseball diamonds, a multi-sport field, basketball and volleyball courts, an artificial ice rink, a children's playground and labyrinth, a splash pad, a wading pool, and a community garden."

"An 8.9-hectare park located at 750 Bloor Street West and Christie Street, the Christie Pits Parks is named after the famous Christie sand pits that were there until the early 1900s. The park is home to the Alex Duff Memorial Pool, basketball and volleyball courts, an artificial ice rink, a splash pad, a wading pool, and a multi-sport field. Besides, there is also a community area along with fire pit facilities."

"Covering an area of about 22 acres, Christie Pits is centrally located at the intersection of Bloor Street West and Christie Avenue. Originally called Willowvale Park, the area was nicknamed Christie Pits after the Christie Sand Pits which were housed here until the early 1900s. The park features a unique layout, sunken down below street level with sloping sides."

"Queen Street stretches right across Toronto, from east to west. Given its length and the fact that the Queen streetcar makes it possible to travel the street's full distance, it makes sense that Queen Street is dotted with neighbourhoods that have their own unique vibe and stores that range from mega-retailers to mom-and-pop shops. The stretch from University Avenue west to Spadina Avenue, known locally as Queen West, was the epitome of cool for shopping and entertainment in the 1980s and 1990s, and is still lined with leading U.S. retailers and great music venues."

"Queen Street West is notably more different than the downtown Toronto shopping districts mentioned previously. It’s a vibrant neighbourhood with a mix of great shops, beautiful art and some of the city’s best restaurants and bars. To paint a picture of this area in case you haven’t had the pleasure of visiting quite yet, in 2014, Vogue named Queen Street West the second-hippest district in the world."

"Queen Street West is certainly where you can get some shopping done!. Located – you guessed it – along Queen Street West west of Yonge Street and extending well past Bathurst Street, Queen Street is also home to many amazing restaurants, hip bars and pubs, and coffee shops. One of our favourite ramen places in on Queen Street West and Lisa misses it dearly from when we used to go for ramen lunch!"

"Best Croissants In Toronto For: Authentic, classic French pastries. Technically, pain perdu translates to “lost bread” in reference to how French toast saves stale bread from being “lost.” However, in this context, Pain Perdu is a bakery known for purveying glorious, classic French confections. This quaint St. Clair West spot is lauded by locals as a hidden gem to find the best croissants in Toronto with a rich buttery flavour and flaky texture."

"Pain Perdu is renowned for its Parisian baked goods like croissants, quiche, eclairs and mille-feuille. Located in the St. Clair West neighbourhood, the décor is quaint and the staff is on point. This combination makes Pain Perdu a must-try for anyone who wants to pretend they’re in Paris for an afternoon."

"TVX or The Vegan Extremist is a little vegan food joint to drop by Kensington Market in Toronto, a silent modern twist to those of South Asian delicacies. Interiors have traditional wooden decor and handwritten menu on the wall, which is updated daily, this little restaurant is undoubtedly a must-try and is among the best South Asian restaurants in Toronto. The restaurant mostly features vegan curries accompanies by Paratha or Rice, but strangely their menu has Butter Chicken(The BC) in it."

"For hearty and savour, South Asian-Inspired cuisine, this new stop in Kensington Market is the place to be. They don’t have a website yet but one look at their Instagram and you’ll see what I mean. Think chickpea and tofu curries, wraps, rice dishes, noodles and mor"

"TVX, formerly known as The Vegan Extremist, is a 100% vegan restaurant specializing in South Asian cuisine. Their current menu features a peanut curry, a Malaysian curry, a chickpea curry, an aoyster mushroom dish, a sweet potato dish, paratha, and more."

"Simple Kitchen is a great spot for some tasty and nutritious food. It is not an entirely vegetarian restaurant, but it has a lot of really great vegetarian options!. It’s a great place to sit and get some work done while eating or to grab a quick bite and go."

"While Annapura Vegetarian Restaurant is not entirely vegan, it is a very vegan friendly Indian restaurant. You’ll find a little “v” next to all of the vegan meals (and a “gf” for gluten-free). Try the bhajia, potato masala, dosas, samosas, the soy masala chai, and a slice of chocolate tofu mousse pie for dessert."

"A variety of South Indian, vegetarian, and vegan recipes are available on the menu. It is a proud follower of Sri Chinmoy’s ideology. Sri Chinmoy devoted his life to the achievement of world peace and the recognition of the human spirit’s infinite potential."

"Founded by a couple of canine-loving brew hounds and their black labrador mix, Snoopy, Black Lab Brewing keeps their brewery completely separate from the taproom so humans can enjoy a beer with their four-legged friends (while abiding Toronto's notoriously strict health and safety bylaws). Black Lab Brewing is a little brewery with big aspirations, striving to create a cozy community of beer lovers and bridge the gap between brewer and consumer. The brewery doesn't serve food at this time (those pesky bylaws again) but they do allow outside food to be brought in or delivered."

"The dog in Black Lab’s logo isn’t just cute branding: This east-end brewery rolls out the red carpet for furry patrons and hosts its share of doggie birthday parties and rescue fundraisers. If you are a biped with kidneys that can metabolize alcohol, good news: They also pour everything from an excellently toasty black lager to the aptly named Underdog Oat Pale Ale, which packs a surprising punch of bitter, piney hop flavour."

"What is it: Dog-crazed, beer-loving Torontonians finally have a place to indulge in both obsessions: Black Lab Brewing. While the production area is off limits for hounds, dogs are free to roam around the 3,600-square-foot taproom while their humans enjoy hazy APAs and imperial IPAs. Why go: With strict food safety laws prohibiting animals entry at most Toronto venues, we welcome Black Lab with open arms (and paws)."

"The mood at the Mill Street Brew Pub is set long before you enter: it’s in Toronto’s Distillery District, a pedestrian-only historic site of Victorian industrial buildings from a former distillery. The warehouse-chic aesthetic continues inside the bar, which has lofted ceilings, brick walls, and warm wood. The space, which is adjacent to the brewery itself, is often bustling, especially in summer when the outdoor patio is in full swing."
