While Away an Afternoon at the Best Museums in Toronto
"Admittedly, this museum is not directly in Toronto, but rather the village of Kleinburg. Here is what justifies the drive 40 minutes north of Toronto: it is situated in a beautiful woodland setting that will rival any outdoors oriented photo. It also is filled to the brim with a magnificent collection of Canadian and native art."

How to Plan the Perfect Toronto Itinerary (1-4 Days + Tips from a Local)
"Spend your afternoon in the AGO (Art Gallery of Ontario) where you can see numerous collections of art from around the world and the largest Canadian art collection. There are so many things to do in Toronto so next up is Nathan Phillips Square where you can take a picture with the iconic Toronto sign and see the new city hall. The Old City Hall is just to the right, an old Romanesque building. If you’re visiting in the winter you can go skating in the square for free."

"This hidden treasure on Brimley Road might be one of the best insights into how early settlers lived when they arrived in Scarborough, before it became on the biggest suburbs in the 20th century. Set off a series of trails and greenery of the Thomson Memorial Park, this series of four buildings is especially beautiful in the summertime."

A Local’s Guide to Toronto’s Club Scene
"Set behind a facade of apocalyptic bicycles and found objects, this no-fuss joint slings dirt-cheap drinks to the tunes of live ska, punk and metal. The Bovine Sex Club has been a Toronto institution for well over 20 years, and for good reason. The cover fee never passes 10 Canadian dollars ($7.50), Jägermeister is on tap and beer is cold."

"Perched high on the Manulife Centre in Yorkville, the restaurant offers a fantastic vantage point in the city. You can choose to sit in one of the two patios – the one facing North Toronto or the other overlooking the CN Tower and downtown Toronto. No matter which one you choose, you are guaranteed the best rooftop view in the city. Pair the view with a few small plates like sweet Thai chili chicken drummies and Baja Halibut tacos, life can’t get much better!"
