>So, what is there to do in Toronto
>uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Lived here for 10 years and genuinely can't answer this question beyond a couple days. I just tell them to go watch a blue jays game and go up the CN tower and then have a drink near John St. If they're an early morning person, then get stuff at St. Lawrence market and then go for a picnic on Toronto Island.
There's literally nothing else to do here. I mean I guess there are weed and psilocybin tourists coming now too, but I would tell them the same, just get your stuff and go to Toronto Island or Hyde Park and trip there. Everything else exists elsewhere but much better.
All the more interesting things are a few hours outside the city.
>every western city
imagine living in a city when you're not wealthy lol literally a rat trap
go to bar
see live band
meet bar bawds
go to club
spend 1000
meet club bawds
I've been in Toronto my whole life and there's not a lot worth doing, although it's not much worse than some other north American borefest cities
>sports is of course a big seller, Leafs/Raptors/Jays/Argos/Toronto FC
>pretty decent bar culture for various price brackets, usually King Street gets a ton of celebrity flare during TIFF
>good amount of breweries that are surprisingly high quality and don't charge an arm and a leg for a pint
>Toronto Island and parts of the waterfront can be cool despite the hippies and sexpests
>lots of good local music venues (Lee's Palace, The Garrison, Danforth Music Hall, Velvet Underground, Bovine Sex Club) even though support for indie has been dogshit for 10+ years but there's still occasional good acts
Personally though anything worthwhile to do here is like 2 hours drive from Toronto
>Muskoka Cottage Country
>Prince Edward County
>Niagara Wine Country
>Wasaga Beach, or better yet Manitoulin Island if you can stomach the drive
The city itself is very bad outside of food, sports and drinking. It's a city billed as being a major city but even fricking Chicago and Boston have more shit to do. Honestly the only city worth journeying too in Canada is Quebec City, but at that point you might as well just go to France unless you really like cold weather and being stared at by hostile Quebecers.
>but even fricking Chicago and Boston have more shit to do
>even
No one sane has ever thought Toronto to be on the level of Chicago or Boston when it comes to culture
Toronto is more like Cincinnati or some other irrelevant flyover shithole
Boston is the Toronto of the USA. Not much going on there other than being comfy.
free shuttle bus to billy bishop airport to go away for the day
ride ttc at night
You would not think Toronto is one of the biggest cities in North America.
If you took away the CN tower there is nothing recognizable in the skyline, you would not be able to tell it apart from fricking Omaha.
Toronto is just a place for desperate thirdies and US corporations to make $$$
>f you took away the CN tower there is nothing recognizable in the skyline
it would look like Los Angeles
Casa Loma was awesome. and toronto has some of the best pizza I've ever had at Descendant's and at Conzos
it seems nice to live in. there are countless restaurants and there seems to be a lot of art galleries there, as well as skating/hockey I assume you can get into and there's plenty of indoor and outdoor rinks, but yeah in terms of landmarks or amazing nature I can't think of it. Vancouver is also kinda shit in terms of arts/culture besides the fact we get concerts sometimes and some big culture festivals like visakhi but we do have mountains all over the place and access to the ocean so mountain biking/hiking/skiing are top tier and even transitable.
oh and sorry but our beer is better than toronto and the rest of the country besides quebec. our beer is even better than most of the US honestly.
>craft beer
>man our beer is liiiike totes better than like anywhere else mm'kay?
>have you seen the new lgbt area in dundas? omg... I gushed. Me and my partner cant wait to go try some of their hard ciders :3
>it seems nice to live in
Only if you have "frick you" levels of disposable income.
Even then if you had that kind of money you could live in Europe instead where there are actual public services, proper transit, health care that isn't ran by idiots and cheap flights across the continent to see dozens of unique cultures rather than paying $400 round trip to go from frozen shithole city to another.
Although I do agree that Toronto does have underrated restaurants despite what uptight foodie c**ts may say.
Have you been to Europe? If you have, you already know the tradeoffs. You can't scratch your ass without ten strangers knowing about it.
People in Europe mind their own business though.
Canadians are nosy and antisocial at the same time. I can't even go out in my garden without the neighbours peeping over the fence.
life in canada is shitty and stressful
Leaf here. Toronto a is fricking soulless. Been there so many times and I dont miss it. Vancouver is nicer to visit imo but only for a few days at most.
Montreal is the best city to visit in Canada imo. Lots of festivals and stuffs to do. Go there during summer.
>stuff to do
>in toronto
go to the airport and fly away and never come back lol. most fun you will ever have in canada
anywhere can be comfy aslong as you dont have a daily commute to dead end wagie cagie and can take a break from diversity
So not Toronto then
Plenty of large pockets in Toronto where the minorities stay minor, though I personally don't give a shit about what the strangers in the area I'm currently in looks like.
most cities are boring af. I just came to DC and saw the white house and holy frick was it boring these past 2 days. reading is way mor interesting.
go north to blue mountain if u want cool stuff
I've lived here my whole life and I have not seen a single major league sports game.
