For those that are wondering - no this is not owned by Drake, though Drake is from Toronto. This is a super trendy place to grab some grub and checkout some cool art. This is a great place to check out some of Toronto's underground artist while enjoying a beer or two.

This is one of Sydney's favourite restaurants ever! It's a contemporary Middle Eastern restaurant. Be warned it can get pretty pricy.

Located in Kensington Market, this place is a must. If you like German food then you'll love this place. I'd suggest grabbing lunch here as it has limited seating. You order at a counter and can get an AMAZING fast meals. The boxes are the best - believe me - I've had everything on the menu.

This is my favourite ice cream shop and I am definitely a connoisseur. They make their ice cream every day from scratch and have lots of different flavours like "London Fog". Their ice cream sandwiches are always AMAZING. Be warned that lineups on sunny days can be up to 45 minutes long for the way. HOWEVER, this is prime location for exploring. Ossington St. has great restaurants and lots to see. Many consider it the new Kensington Market. Also its right beside Trinity Bellwoods (a park that is always busy and exciting).

I grew up going here on Saturday mornings and this place will always have a special place in my heart. you can find the best meals and anything your heart desires here. There's always also a clothing section in St. Lawrence Market that has fun hats. It's all indoors too so great all weather. If you're around for it in August the busker fest is a must!

The seafood here is as much an experience as a meal, tanks of gigantic crabs and other shellfish bubbles away in full view of diners. Slurp down some of the best oysters in the city in a low-ceilinged, wood-filled bar with serious pirate saloon vibes

Parks & Nature

This is a great place to explore and enjoy a picnic (weather permitting). There are also lots of activities that go on here. One-third of the park remains in a natural state, with a rare oak savannah ecology (according to Google). It's a great way to escape the city without having to rent a car!

Drinks & Nightlife

Very hip bar on the bustling streets of Queen West. This place mostly plays Hip Hop. I'd suggest going their early to skip the line (10:30PM) because it gets full Friday's and Saturday's.

Another speakeasy. The front is disguised as a convenience store - so you might walk past it. Inside there is a Hawaiin themed bar with a DJ. If you don't like this bar there are many other cool ones along Dundas including some good billard bars.
