I'm flying to Toronto in a few weeks to do a turntable setup and alignment for a customer. It has a great diversity of restaurants, friendly people, and good roadways, not to mention a Timmy's on just about every corner and certainly at every exit along the 401. I will also be visiting Kingston and Ottawa. Haven't been to Kingston before, but Ottawa is pretty remarkable.
TRIP TO TORONTO. WHAT TO DO...
The thing is that I will be visiting my son who is studying at the University of Toronto next Easter week.
My interests when visiting a new city -apart from blues and rock music shows- are:
1.- Contemporary architecture;
2.- Discovering places and neighborhoods not mentioned on tourist guides;
3.- One day trip to towns around the main city;
4.- Local "cuisine" as there´s an Spanish cuisine. Not meaning "hi-end cuisine" a la Ferrán Adriá. This trend seems to me like 70s progressive music -how to get the more complicated pentatonic scale-. Let´s keep it simple;
5.- Eating on the cheap. I mean affordable prices. Not breaking the bank;
6.- Drinking undiscovered beers and/or unexpected wines
7.- Bookstores (if they still exists); CD stores -if they still exist- and why not -the vice strikes again- audio stores -if they still exist-;
I´m open to your suggestions.
Thank you all.
Daniel
