The CN tower was once the world's tallest free standing structure. Now it is very tall telecommunications tower that you can do the "edgewalk" on if you are brave.

High Park is beautiful, especially if you happen to be here when the cherry trees are blooming. There's a café and a tiny zoo, and Shakespeare in the park runs most evenings in the summer.

If you want to eat a deliciously greasy panzerotti off a paper plate in an Italian hole in the wall that has been around for generations... this is the place. They also have pizza and olives.

One of Toronto's favourite brunch spots, there's often a line on weekends. Quite small despite being two floors. The kitchen is open to the restaurant, kind of a bohemian cottage from the 50's vibe.

Another newer local record store. Why do I recommend it? Mainly because they have a shop dog. Every store should have a shop dog.
