Distillery District - has NO CARS, some nice shops and balzac's coffee, but expensive and closes early and always full of tourists
Offhand places we've been to.


St Lawrence Market has some interesting shopping.
Rebel House - Yonge and Rosedale - very nice Canadian pub

Harbourfront & Toronto island some established art and the island's nice in the summer.
Fresh by Juice for Life - various locations - nice vegetarian food


Spadina Chinatown, Kensington Market - just wander around

Queen Street West though you have to go pretty far west these days for the edgy stuff. Still the Queen Mother's an old favourite and Ghandi Roti is amazing.
Queen Mother / Rivoli - good old standbys


Contemporary Art Museum (Queen West) or just check the galleries on the street
La Hacienda - doesn't have the bite it used to but still good

Ghandi Rhoti - they make it fresh each time, totally outstanding


Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) if they have something interesting on.

Bata Shoe Museum is actually pretty neat.
- spring rolls (Front street) - their specials are well priced


The Annex just wander around.

Yonge Street (South of Bloor) all the trashy stuff slowly being transformed into an outdoor US mall
pub - the irish embassy (Colborne street)


Danforth & Broadview park for a great city view on a clear night
<s>japanese - Izakaya (Front street) - very nice Japanese "pub"</s> :( :( :( closed Feb 24, 2008. RIP. How is this possible?
