What do you do on a really warm and sunny day in Toronto?
I think the best way to spend a warm and sunny day in Toronto is to grab your bike and head to the Toronto Island. It’s a short ferry ride from downtown and the island is covered in beautiful bike paths and beaches, with great views of the city and is perfect for a picnic.
And on a raining day?
I love to spend a rainy day in one of Toronto’s many amazing cafes like Moonbeam Coffee in Kensington Market, Manic Coffee on College Street or Future Bakery in the Annex. After that I’d go to the Royal Ontario Museum which always has a new and interesting exhibit going on.
What is the best way to get around in the town?
Although Torontonians love to complain about it, our public transit system is actually really great. It’s the second largest in North America, and will take you wherever you want to go quickly and reliably.
Favourite Place?
It’s so hard to say, but probably Kensington Market. So many great restaurants, cafes, vintage stores, groceries and everything else in between, in one such a small place. The market just has a very creative and interesting vibe to it all the time.
What’s the best plan for a Sunday morning in Toronto?
Go to the Art Gallery of Ontario and spend the hours admiring not only the amazing collections inside, but the actual building itself, just recently redesigned by Frank Gehry last year.
