"Taking your kids to the historic home of one of Toronto's first architects may seem laughable. Have we met your children?. Gazing at watercolours is hardly a hobby of theirs."

"A heritage building spread over six acres in Toronto is the Osgoode Hall. This hall has garnered attention for 170 years for its legal activity, and was named Osgoode in honor of the first Chief Justice of the province, William Osgoode. Although construction began in 1829, this historic edifice was completed only 20 years later and under several architects, like John Ewart and W.W."

"If you’re looking for a taste of Europe in Toronto, the Osgoode Hall courtyard is a pretty and Instagrammable spot for all your summer OOTD photos. It’s also usually pretty empty (especially in the mornings), so you won’t need to worry too much about bothering people!. Osgoode Hall is also a heritage building in Toronto, so it’s a cool spot to visit."

"The boisterous spot is decked out with neon lights, a full row of pinball machines and an impressive selection of Ontario beers on draft. Try the Single Farm IPA from Ottawa’s Dominion Brewing, made with Quebec’s Houblonnière Lupuline hops; or maybe a crisp Belgian-style ale from Beamsville’s Bench Brewing Company. Whatever you choose, wash it down with a slice from Brooklyn Pizza, a thin-crust pizza joint that takes over the back corner of the bar."

"From the old-school arcade games and vintage decor to the big selection of craft beer on tap, Get Well is somewhere you can spend more than a few hours. Especially since once you get hungry, they have an in-house pizzeria with slices and full pies, depending on how hungry you are or how many people you dragged along. So when you get run over in Frogger, at least you can blame it on your greasy hands."

"This bar on Dundas West pours an impressive list of craft beers on tap along with fancier bottled options that you won’t find everywhere else. With a North of Brooklyn Pizzeria in the bar – along with a decent selection of vintage arcade games– you can happily set up shop for the whole night."

"Striker Sports Bar is the only official gay sports bar in Toronto. Hockey geeks will love it here. We'll be honest, we had no idea hockey was a thing before we came to Canada (back in Europe it's all about soccer-football!) but we checked out Striker to ogle at the cute sporty gays."

"Nothing's warmer than a blazing real wood fire, and this patio has that in spades. You just don't get that pleasant crackle and smell of smoke from a standard heater, though they have those as well for added comfort."

"Considered one of the largest cultural centres in the world, this not-for-profit has recently introduced the Moriyama Nikkei Heritage Centre: a permanent museum with artifacts and interactive displays that showcases the history of the Japanese community, including settling in Canada, internment, and modern day."

"Corkin Gallery, originally founded under the name Jane Corkin Gallery in 1978, is one of Canada’s pre-eminent visual art spaces. The gallery, owned by Jane Corkin, has gained worldwide recognition for its contribution to contemporary art discourse and its dedication to curatorial projects and exhibitions that facilitate discussion amongst artists, curators, museums and private collections. The gallery also contextualises the work of the numerous Canadian and international artists on their roster through exhibitions that provide a historical trajectory."
