We arrived in Toronto via Canada Rail from Windsor (thanks Mom and Dad Remley for the ride to the station!) and stayed in the University of Toronto dorms. Accommodations were spartan but comfortable, and suited our needs well.
We have long preferred to explore cities by foot, and that is exactly how we spent our favorite day in Toronto; walking the entire length of Queen Street.
At nearly nine miles long, Queen is a main thoroughfare that runs through a number of Toronto's neighborhoods: Parkdale, the Fashion District, Chinatown, Downtown, the Historic District, Corktown, Broadview, Leslieville, and the Beach. In all, we logged about twenty miles walking from the dorm, down Queen, and back. Throughout the walk we stopped frequently for various edibles and libations - getting a small taste for many of Toronto's different areas. Despite a little rain, we think it was a perfect day.
Our favorite Toronto discoveries:
- Peameal bacon sandwiches at the St. Lawrence Market.
- The eclectic vibe of the artsy neighborhoods of West Queen.
- The dazzling selection at Loblaws grocery in the Church and Wellesley area.
- The sprawling, central campus of the University of Toronto.
- Cheap and filling dolsot bibimbap in Koreatown.
Next stop: Montreal, Quebec
