Great little bar for cocktails. Also, they have a pretty awesome asian-inspired menu. I recommend the pork dumpling wings.

This might be my favourite grocery store in the city. Be sure to check out the awesome produce section, butcher and cheese sections!

This is where the 6dad (Norm Kelly - @norm) works when he's not tweeting. Go to the Green Roof - its an amazingly serene place, while also being very central. The south roof has the best view.

For my money, this is the nicest view of Toronto. Photogs definitely should journey here to take stunning views of the city.

When you see the two benches and the chess table, you know you're there. A great place to see the Toronto skyline in the distance while relaxing.

An amazing view that truly captures everything that is Toronto. A mix of both the natural and the urban.
