Stephanie & Jesse
Things To Do in T.O.
Distillery District
This is where Steph and Jesse had dinner on their first trip to Toronto together for Jesse's sister's wedding. The twisting lanes and cobbled streets of the Distillery District date back to the early 19th century. Since it re-opened its doors in 2003, it became a historic site dedicated to arts, cultures and entertainment.
Kensington Market
Toronto's most unique neighbourhood, Kensington Market retains its charm and wonderful diversity through its eclectic mix of vintage clothing stores, grocers, restaurants and cafes. A distinctive multicultural neighbourhood, it was home to one of Toronto's original Jewish communities. In November 2006, it was designated a National Historic Site of Canada. Robert Fulford wrote in 1999 that "Kensington today is as much a legend as a district. The (partly) outdoor market has probably been photographed more often than any other site in Toronto."
Toronto Islands
The Toronto Islands are unlike any other destination in the city. What feels like heading to a far-off destination, a land of dreamy beaches and amusement rides, is in reality just a 15-minute ferry ride away from the downtown core.
The Danforth
Toronto's Greektown, The Danforth juggles east-enders' enviro-chic, vegan-friendly sensibilities with the city's biggest celebration of meat on a skewer. Check out this neighbourhood for great Greek-style food, and cool shops, including Jesse's favourite guitar shop, The Twelfth Fret.
Art Gallery of Ontario
The Art Gallery of Ontario is one of Canada's premier art galleries and a worldwide destination for art fans visiting Toronto. With architecture by Frank Gehry visible from many angles around the neighbourhood and several permanent collections as well as rotating exhibits of masterpieces by the greats, it's one of the city's biggest cultural centres.
Toronto Blue Jays
The Toronto Blue Jays are at home the weekend of our wedding, playing host to the Seattle Mariners. Just don't go to the Sunday game!
