I will be in T. and will have the day after the hip concert to explore.
What should I do?

I will go to the HHOF. I am thinking about the AGO, and ROM

Any suggestions?

Theres probably a million touristy things to do in T.O. My favs and most visited things are probably the HHOF and the AGO. They have an awesome collection of art there. The ROM is pretty cool as well, havent been in a while though.

Of course there is the CN Tower, *cough Much Music *cough, and that kind of scene... It's all pretty cool..

Only having one day, you may find you spend it all at the Hall or the AGO however.

WAYYY too much to do for one day. Walking around dwntwn and finding little shops of hole in the wall bars is good. Or if you want more mainstream you could hit Gretzky's place. The Hall is always good even if your not a fan. The city is pretty easy to get around and the subways not hard to figure out like NYC for the 1st time.

I've only spent a few days in T. but there was lots to see and do. I'd recommend the CN Tower (I got some great shots of the city from up there). I wanted to see the Hockey museum (that Corpse mentioned) but we ran out of time.

Personally, I just liked walking around and looking at things. Queens St. (I think) and Junge St. were cool. 8)

I was in Toronto just once back in '95 while on the way to Florida with my family. We had to stay in Toronto 1 night, and my god it was cold that night! Didn't have time to do too much, but did get to go to the CN Tower, see the Skydome, & went to Wayne Gretzky's restuarant, which was cool. I'd love to go back someday.

There is, of course, the Eaton Centre at the corner of Queens & Junge for all your highly commercialized shopping needs.

Or spend a buck or two in the boutiques along Bloor Street and Yorkville/Cumberland (or if you're in that area and the idea of spending your inheritance on a chachka from Bulgari or Holts doesn't appeal to you, you could duck up Hazelton and along Scollard and peek into the art galleries there for free).

Rent a pair of skates on-site and spend some time on the outdoor rink at Nathan Phillips Square (City Hall).

St. Lawrence Market and environs if you're still around town on Saturday morning.

Get shot in the club district along Richmond and Adelaide.

Ride the entire TTC subway system from Etobicoke to Scarborough, Downsview to Finch.

but, whatever you do, make sure you stop for street-meat at least once.

go visit lots pf places that are better known by an acronym...

[VioletlightHeron]

There's always Casa Loma for a tour of a grand castle built by a Canadian robber baron who never got to spend more than a couple of years in the place before he lost it to bankruptcy. Cool turn of the century history lesson :thumb:

Yorkville is always a fun walk around and you never know who you might see..............

Hip side note............stop of for a drink at The Pilot in Yorkville. This is where Jake Gold took The Hip for a drink to sign them........at least I think I read that some where??

[MountainHip]

Thanks guys.... this gives me some great ideas....

Yeah, we went to the Eaton Centre. There's an Apple Shop in there, and I got to play on some gorgeous machines, and the biggest monitor ever!





My girlfriend lived in T. for year - here's her recommendations:

Umm. if you are going to be pretty cold for a start so I'm sort of concentrating on indoor things*.

It might not sound that appealing but I'd recommend the bata shoe museum (its 327 bloor st) just down from the ROM. Its a bit different and not just one for girls who know their Jimmy Chos from their Manohlo Blahniks.

If you fancy the hockey museum then leave plenty of time to find it. It is not in the Rogers centre but in the middle of a shopping centre. We spent so long trying to find it that we ran out of time.

For shopping I'd recommend Queen St West rather than the Eaton Centre. Its got more independent shops and is a bit quirkier. The further west the more quirky.


*If you go back in the summer getting a ferry accross to the islands or cycling or just walking along the lake front is lovely.

Sounds good, thanks so much!
