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.

"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.
Please, everyone knows Pittsburgh is the arm pit of the universe. I visited Toronto once and enjoyed the stay. I thought it was nice, clean, safe, with plenty to do. The people were nice and helpful, plus, where else do they have coal black squirrels?
