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

I think any of us from the U.S. who have visited Toronto can agree its a wonderful city. If you ever get the opportunity to visit Montreal and Kingston you will not be disappointed. I hope to some day visit Qeubec City as well as the Western Provinces. Great Country. Enjoy yourself. A close friend of mine went to school at the Trevis Institute of the Recording Arts. It was a lot of fun to visit way back when.

Audio stores, I would highly reccomend American Sound/Angies audio Corner(CALL FIRST) and Audio Excellence, both less then 25 minutes from UofT. if you find yourself downtown and looking for a REAL hamburger, look for Dangerous Dans or the Burger priest.
You cannot visit Toronto, and not check out the Distillery District.

"Toronto eh . Known to us Canuiks as the butt hole of Canada ."

Then why's it the largest city? I'll say that I enjoy Kingston, Ottawa and Montreal better bit it seems like the people living in Toronto enjoy it. What about Niagara Falls? Now there's a hole. The only place worse is the American side. That's the arm pit if the universe.
