Toronto welcomed me with welcoming customs agents and rainy skies. (Three out of seven days had rain.) I was in Toronto for a business trip, but the city didn't seem to know that. Instead, it beckoned me to see it's culture, taste it's food and enjoy it's sights. Not wanting to be rude, I of course politely obliged. Lucky for me, I had planned extra days of play time in the city to take in what I could. Here's my recap of the interesting, funny, clever and unusual that I found - shared through notes and pictures.
Memories
- The metro is very easy to figure out and use. But weekly passes only start on Monday. Not good when you arrive Wednesday. Also, the bus can be a real adventure when multiple strollers are involved - not mine.
- The CN Tower is a must for the view. The simulated 4D "log ride" in the basement is not.
- Lee restaurant is delicious. Go with the Chef's choice, surprise meal option. I still think about it.
- The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) is old meets new. Clever and nice. If you want something totally different, try the Shoe Museum just down the street.
- I heart Queens West and Kings West neighborhoods.

- If on fire, run and exit this way!

- Who doesn't want bling from Brenda Silver?
