Farmers Market

If I lived in Toronto, this would be the place where I would go weekly for fresh produce and cheeses. For over 100 years the lucky people of Toronto have been able to get fresh meat, fish, grains, baked goods and various dairy products. It is also…More »
7. Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth
Home of the John Lennon suite...yes this is the place where John and Yoko had their infamous bed in back in 1969.
So I got to stay here, no not in THAT room, but an equally nice one. The windows are big and give you a great view of Montreal. It made…More »

Wow...as a New Yorker, who is used to dirt filled subways that smell like piss, and are filled with giant rats, this subway kicks serious ass!

12. Il Campari Centro Restaurant

I thought this Tim Hortons was a nice store. The coffee was tasty, and honestly better than Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts. The croissant was tasty and the sitting area was nice, with big windows to people watch.
14. Pickle Barrel Restaurant
I had such a great lunch at the other Pickle Barrel nearby, that I decided to grab some breakfast here a few days later. Well it was my second choice, because Eggspectation was extremely packed. Anyways we had such a good meal, that I am kind of…More »

16. Creperie Chez Suzette
After a cold hike around Old Montreal, we stopped in to the bustling Creperie Chez Suzette. We had just had lunch, so we got dessert here. We ordered what is called the symphony crepe. It was a giant crepe filled with blueberries, strawberries,…More »
17. Centre Eaton de Montréal
I was stuck in my hotel in February 2007 with minus 30 degree weather(yes I visited Montreal in Feb). So I walked downstairs and took an escalator to the Underground City. I walked a few miles and came across Eaton Centre. It was a very clean and…More »

We went in March and had a much shorter wait than some people have posted here. Once you are whisked up top, you get an amazing view of Toronto and even on a clear day Niagara Falls. It is a tourist must do when hitting up Toronto.

20. Future Shop
I loved this huge electronic store, that is located right by the major shopping mall in Montreal.
They had a sale that day, buy 1 dvd and get the second half off. I grabbed two movies for the long Amtrak ride home to NYC. Good prices, friendly staff…More »

One of the best train stations I have ever been to. From the moment you step off the train, you feel welcomed by the Montreal workers. You then take an escalator up to the main level, and you are welcomed by a little old man with a french accent who…More »

What an amazing feature in this extremely cold city in the winter. I went to Montreal in February 2007, and while many people said I was crazy, I knew about this underground city while researching my trip.

On a cold March night in Toronto, I decided the best thing to do was leave the hotel room and go get some drinks.

Super busy Steakhouse on a Saturday night in Toronto.
I ordered an appetizer of scallops and bacon, which were close to perfect. The scallops were cooked just right and the bacon was such a nice addition. My wife ordered a chicken meal, which she…More »
27. Le Centre Sheraton Montreal Hotel
Typical Sheraton that lacks any real character or local feel. I mean it looks like the Sheraton in Boston, and the one in NYC, and the one in Chicago.
But it was clean and we were checked into our room quickly. We only stayed one night, as we had a…More »
28. Jalapeno's Mexican Cuisine - CLOSED
The wife and I got on a bus and left our hotel's area, because we found an advertisement for Jalapeno's in our Toronto guide. Usually we like to just walk and find a hole in the wall, but we were hungry and needed food asap.
Upon arriving to…More »

In the distillery area of Toronto is Soma. The place makes all of its chocolates fresh on site. The place is cute and smells amazing. The prices though make Godiva so "say what?"

Stopped in this Toronto OSF when I visited in 2006. They have you wait in the bar area until your seat is called. Nice area with a lounge feel to it. Finally we are called and seated. The food was honestly decent, but nothing amazing. The place was…More »

Category:
Stadiums & Arenas
Neighborhoods: City Place, Entertainment District
Took a tour of the Rogers Centra, formerly known as the Skydome, back in 2006. I have to say, while it is cool to tour a stadium, this one came off rather dull and lacked any character. One cool story is that the Rogers Centre has a built in hotel,…More »
32. Casa Loma
Bit of a hike from the center of Toronto, but worth the trip. It is a decent tourist trap, with plenty to see and snap pictures at.
It is a medieval style castle with a tour of all the rooms. $17 admission.

4 Bagels you need to taste (4)I love a boiled and baked treat just like the next guy. But New York definitely owns when it comes to making a mean bagel. I have had bagels in all 5 boroughs and Long Island. But these four places are still my favorites. One of them even delivers overnight to anywhere in the U.S., nice!Don't be afraid to leave the Island of Manhattan. Check out Brooklyn, Broad Channel and The Rockaways for some goodness with sesame, poppy or everything on it. |
