Category:
Cinema

This is a cinema lovers dream! After years of running around between Cinematheque at the AGO, the Film Reference Library, and various TIFF box offices and venues, it is so nice to finally have everything under one roof. They have really thought of…More »
4. Toronto Music Garden
This is a lovely garden designed by Yoyo Ma on the south side of Queens Quay. Most tourists don't wander further west than the Harbourfront Centre or HTO Park, so this place is usually nice and quiet, even in the summer. There are lots of private…More »

*This second hand record store has actually relocated to Wellesley/Yonge now.
I have been coming here for years and it's always fun to browse around here. As most used CD stores have pretty limited classical/jazz sections, Second Vinyl is a haven for…More »
7. Premiere Dance Theatre
I think this place is also known as the Fleck Dance Theatre. It's in Queens Quay Terminal on the 3rd floor (take the escalator next to the Il Fornello). This used to be home to Soulpepper Theatre, but now as the name suggests, it is mostly dance…More »

Hotels
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Queen Street West, Downtown Core
The Rex is sort of a Toronto landmark and I have walked past it and peeked in countless times and there always seems to be a solid crowd and some good music at any time of day. I'm actually surprised that I've lived here so long and hadn't been to…More »

Category:
Music Venues
Neighbourhood: Cabbagetown
Came here to see Beirut and Owen Pallett recently and had a great concert-going experience! We arrived at 9pm (doors opened at 8pm) and caught most of the opening act. The venue is big but still feels intimate and acoustics are excellent. I like that…More »

Categories:
Music Venues,
Performing Arts
Neighbourhoods: St. Lawrence, Downtown Core
I've been to the Sony Centre a couple times this fall since the renovations. I have to say, I was a bit underwhelmed. It is basically the Hummingbird Centre, except with Sony demo stations in the main lobby, nicer seating area at the bar upstairs,…More »

12. 401 Richmond
Toronto, ON M5V 3A8
Category:
Arts & Entertainment
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
The 401 is one of those buildings that has always been there, but you might have walked past it a zillion times without ever thinking to go inside. I discovered this place because of the flamenco studio in the basement (Academy of Spanish Dance). The…More »
