Ate at Jack Astors, maybe I'll go up for a drink though

Toronto Science Center

I liked touring Casa Loma.

What do you like doing? I would avoid the tourist traps personally. If I still lived there I'd offer to show you around. Some things I like:

Kensington Market
Argos game if you're there tomorrow night (Canadian football)
Bar Volo if you like great beer
Bar Isabel for delicious food (I can give more beer and food recommendations)
Hockey hall of fame
the waterfront is nice in the east end (Scarborough bluffs/ashbridges bay)
Science centre is a good call
the zoo is good
if you like weed I can give you a contact
again if you're there tomorrow night go to the Dakota tavern for live music
Toronto island is beautiful but ferry is pricey

Walk north to bar volo for your drink don'tdo CN tower

Bar volo it is. Thanks Lando. Looks like its only about a half mile from dundas. If any Canadian diplomats are at bar volo tonight, I'll buy you a beer. Let me know you're there, and I'll tell you how to find me.

Trinity Bellwoods Park, then walk down Queen St. towards Bathurst. Check out the counter culture art crowd.

Then walk south to King and Bathurst. The Wheat Sheaf is on the south west corner. It's the oldest bar in Toronto.

If you're going to the beach, let me know.

I'm not familiar with that bar but maple has good suggestions. That stretch of queen west is a great walk.

And philcore, when you're in toronto you have to speak in kilometres.

Ah right, thanks landing. Looks aboot .8 km away.

Hey speaking of metric. We're staying with friends who have a pool, and for some reason when they speak about water temp, its Fahrenheit, but when its the air temp, it celcius ... What's up with that?

Landing = Lando ... Autocorrect!

@maple, is that called the distillery district? I think we're going there after bar volo.

Thanks to both if you for the suggestions!

Distillery district is nice. Old buildings and streets and the mill street beer hall is fun and they make great beer.

@maple, wheat sheaf is now in the list. Bar volo first, then we'll head down to king and bathurst.

At barvolo, good recommendation, but ordering at the bar is a little annoying.

I'm surprised they don't have table service, sorry about that.

No worries, the selection is phenomenal

Go to a sports bar and watch the Jays get their asses handed to them by the King.

Head to Buffalo, head to Detroit, anything to get out of Canada, lord save them.

St. Lawrence Market, Kensington Market, Downsview Market, Pacific Mall. Milestones at Yonge and Dundas (balcony over Dundas square).

In a few years you can go see a Bills game. Argonauts play tomorrow night if you want to watch some awesome football that is much more entertaining than an NFL game.

Yeah, Bar Volo has their unique schtick, but...definitely a place to go for beer-ophiles. On the other hand, C'est What on Front Street has excellent craft beer AND table service, with excellent food.

The island is amazing this time of year. If you like parks, go

Trendy spots around King West. The Bank Note. West Lodge. Home on the Range. Valdez. The Bier Markt on the Esplanade.

Home On The Range for sure.....

Distillery District is different. That's a good daytime destination.

There's this one fort if you like history. I forgot the name

Yup, the island is great, too bad it's going to be pissing rain tomorrow....

Queen street really nice in Toronto. That along with Dundas square is da place to be.

Oh, if no one has said Taste of the Danforth, I don't know when it is but it's sometime around now.

At the banknote bar on King and Bathurst. Anyone taking me up on my "tourist buys a local a beer" offer?

Taste of the Danforth was this past weekend.

Ah damn. Well, whatever, day's over anyway.

If you get down to Spadina, maybe head back up to Queen St and go to 334 the Rivoli. Shoot some pool. Jukebox and pinball machines. Beer.

The Rivoli is about 30 years old I guess.

Hey, Echo & The Bunnymen are playing at the Danforth tomorrow. *That's* what I'd do.

It seems like most North American cities are a series of bars and strip malls.

Good 24 hour joints. Fran's is solid with three locations. Yonge and College is one. Vesta Lunch at Bathurst and Dupont is awesome. The Lakeview, at Dundas and Ossington.

I'd do the Fran's at Yonge and College.

Thucydides is referring to Fort York around Lakeshore and Bathurst.

Hope you enjoyed it here, you still around today?

Ah yes Fort York. Used to defend the monarchist town from us American rebels if I recall Lol. Canada

philcore fell off the grid around 10-30 our time. It must have been a very good night.

Yeah, we went to the underground after the banknote and there was nowhere to charge my phone there. Had a great time though, thanks for all the suggestions. Too bad I didn't have more time to try a few more of them. My friends live in whitby, so we decided to only do one day downtown.

I'm so sorry you had to go to Shitby. Please don't hold it against the rest of us.

Nor the strip clubs you had to walk by to get from dundas to volo
