Here's a few of the things we like to do in Toronto.
Art Gallery of Ontario
317 Dundas Street West, Toronto, ON M5T 1G4, Canada, +1 416-979-6648
Great art museum with a touch of Frank Gehry and massive range of curated work. Grab a bite to eat before at nearby Kensington Market or Chinatown.
Sakai Bar
1576 Dundas West, Toronto, ON ON M6K 1T8, Canada, +1 647-345-6466
Our favorite place to taste some sake and seasonal Japanese food. Walk-ins only but you can grab a drink at Black Dice Bar (Japanese rockabilly bar!) next door.
Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto Canada
158 Sterling Road, Toronto, ON M6R 2B7, Canada, +1 416-530-2500
Modern museum in a former manufacturing plant in the Junction area. Don't miss the natural wine and Italian treats at the downstairs café.
Henderson Brewing co
128A Sterling Road, Toronto, ON M6R 2B7, Canada, +1 416-535-1212
Neil's favorite brewery and just down the street from the Museum of Contemporary Art. (Sadly it's beer only. - Taiyo)
Sugo
1281 Bloor Street West, Toronto, ON M6H 1N7, Canada, +1 416-535-1717
Classic, spaghetti & meatballs kinda Italian. You'll be full but don't skip the tiramisu!
Rose City Goods - Home Decor & Gift Shop
1504 Dundas Street West, Toronto, ON M6K 1T5, Canada, +1 416-994-5979
Most likely seen multiple times on Taiyo's IG stories - cute home goods store with good selection of ceramics. There's also other nice stores on Dundas if you walk down east.
Trinity-Bellwoods Park
Bellwoods Park, Toronto, ON M6J, Canada
Great people watching park in the middle of the city (Think McCarren or Dolores Park). Type books at the corner on Queen street is worth stopping by.
Thrift Shopping
Bloor, College, Dundas streets, Toronto, ON, Canada
Toronto has some great thrift shops.
Some of Taiyo's favorites so far:
Penny Arcade, 96 Vintage, Chosen, and Value Village on Bloor street if you really want to dig.
Do West Fest
1166 Dundas Street West, Toronto, ON M6J 1X4, Canada
The Do West Fest is happening in the area! It's a street festival with live music, food, and other vendors.
