New York, New York?

All things considered, it's looking like a couple of days in NYC might work out much cheaper than exploring a bit more of Canada. I can get a train from Toronto - ~13hrs.
It IS a lot closer than the left coast, an many who go have a great time. Also stop by the falls

Beautiful though the falls are, I've been to Niagra three times previously and, short of a frozen-falls winter visit, I could happily go the rest of my life without visiting that glorified Blackpool of a town. :-)

and Montreal is nice. All much more get-to-able.

Yeah, that's another possibility.

Yeah, you may as well stick to Southern Ontatio/Quebec. I believe the Toronto film festival is on about now, which I have to admit is a lot of fun as the city is abuzz with movie stars and their fans (tip: you'll know where the stars are staying because there will be mobs of young girls camping out in front of the hotels - great place to make casual chit chat. ;-) ).

hehehe.... the aunt I'm staying with said I should check out the FF but omitted that last part. :-D

Should be lots of parties and Dundas Square should be more lively then usual. Speaking of which, they just built a new building there with restaurants on the 3rd or 4th floor with patios overlooking the square (just over the new FutureShop - I have pics that I could upload). If the weather is nice, the view is worth the price of admission.

Other places to checkout when in TO:
- The Distillery District: Now more of a art gallery with cafes and other little shops. One of my favorite places to check out in TO.
- Greektown on the Danforth (best part of TO ;-) )

Never been to either of these.


- Request FREE tickets to a screening of the CBC's The Hour (highly recommended)

Intriguing - I might just do that.

- Toronto Beahces
- Toronto's Royoal Ontario Museum
- The Art Gallery of Ontario - And there's a bunch of little galleries on Dundas as well.
- Bloor Street: Boutique shopping
- Young Street: a good mix of seedy and artsy - the bussiest street in To. It gets less seedy as you go North.
- College Street: Little Italy (although you won't find a shortage of Italian restaurants in TO)
- Spadina: china town - lots and lots of vegetables to be had here :-)
- Dundas Square: I think the wiki-page is more interesting then the real thing. Who ever researched the water fountain schedule and calculated the exact speed one needs to travel to hit each fountain as it shoots, umm.... needs a life! But makes for interesting reading! :-)
- Queen Street West: A bit more artsy then Young, MuchMusic's HQ

I *think* I explored a bit of all of the above last time I was over (~5yrs back).

- CN Tower: If you're never been here before, it's worth the cost of admition. FYI: If you eat at the restaurant the elevator fee is refunded.

Fantastic building - been up a couple of times, once under the influence of something that made the glass floor quite a bit more spectacular than it already is. :shock:

- Toronto Islands: 10 min fairy from downtown. If the weather is nice, it's a quick escape from the big city.

Never been over and that could be something to do, right enough.

Enjoy. :-)
