A Cabbage Patch No More |
237 Carlton St (At Parliament) Toronto, ON M5A 2L2 Canada +1 416 921 0857 http://www.cabbagetown.biz |
One of the oldest sections of Toronto, this historic area has grown from a lower class housing area to the largest enclave of Victorian homes in North America. With the advent of the railway business in Canada, a rail complex at the end of the Don River attracted English immigrants fleeing the Great War for the relative safety of Toronto. Much as today, the community was a strong-knit group; the only difference is that today's residents no longer grow cabbages on their front patches of dirt. Today its streets straddle a line between hip and gentrification. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Unlike much of the city, Toronto's financial district is compressed into a conveniently walkable area—even in bad weather. That's thanks to the "underground city," covering 11 kilometres of adjoining passageways under the streets and connecting to more than 1,200 retail stores and services. If you are a little nervous about doing the trek alone, join one of the organized tours such as Silk Path Tours. Call +1 416 410 1656 or contact silkpath@canada.com for more information on schedules.

Funky and hip |
From University to Spadina Toronto, ON M5V 2B7 Canada |
Just one street over from this trendy strip is the Ontario College of Art and Design. When young artists graduated and were desperate for cash, they would bring their treasures here to sell. Soon small shops stuffed with unique items began popping up. Today, you can still find unusual gifts from cool clothing to antique comics either in the stores or from one of the many friendly street vendors. It's also a hot spot for restaurants and bars such as the Epicure Cafe, the Rivoli and the Queen Mother Cafe. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Located downtown, this motor inn is definitely an anomaly in high density urban Toronto. Each room comes with a private bathroom and some even have balconies.

If you enjoy the convenience of having your car close at hand, and you want hassle-free value for your money, this is a good choice.

Truly a Toronto monument, this Via Rail/GO train/subway station, which stretches along a block of Front Street, was opened in 1927 by the Prince of Wales.

While strolling along the concourse, you will see arched windows, enormous pillars and Italian tile gracing the high ceilings. The station serves as the U-joint in the Toronto Transit Commission's Yonge subway line, as well as a terminal for GO Transit, Via Rail and Ontario Northland railroad. Review © 2007, Wcities |
