Things to do
St. Lawrence Market
One of the world's greatest markets, St.Lawrence contains over 120 specialty vendors, known for the variety and freshness of their fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, grains, baked goods and dairy products, as well as for the uniqueness of the non-food items for sale. We especially love the veal parmesan sandwiches from Uno Mustachio, seafood from Buster's Sea Cove, and the famous peameal bacon sandwiches from Carousel Bakery.
Stackt Market
Eat, drink, shop, and be merry at an outdoor/indoor market made up entirely of shipping containers. We especially love Belgian Moon Brewery, and sipping wine in the Casa Campo Wine Yurt.
Kensington Market
Toronto's most unique neighbourhood, Kensington Market retains its charm and wonderful diversity through its eclectic mix of vintage clothing stores, grocers, restaurants and cafes. We especially love Seven Lives Tacos, FIKA Cafe, Moonbean Cafe, and Wanda's Pie in the Sky.
Toronto Islands
A 13-minute ferry ride from downtown Toronto, we recommend starting at Ward's Island or Centre Island. Take in some of the best views of the city, and opt for a canoe ride on Lake Ontario or a bike ride across the archipelago.
Distillery Historic District
An internationally acclaimed village of one-of-a-kind stores, shops, galleries, studios, restaurants, cafes, theatres, and more, all located in a pedestrian-only, old whisky distillery. We especially love Cluny Bistro for meals, Mill St. Brewery for a drink, SoMA for desert, and Balzac's for coffee.
TIFF Bell Lightbox
The permanent home of the world-renowned Toronto International Film Festival. TIFF offers daily movie screenings, lectures, discussions, festivals, workshops, events, and opportunities to interact with filmmakers from around the world. Even if you aren't going to see a movie, we highly recommend taking advantage of the daily Happy Hour specials (4-9 PM) at the TIFF Founders Lounge on the second floor.
Second City
Yes, like the one in Chicago. This improv theatre is where comedy greats like Catherine O'Hara and John Candy got their start.
Majesty’s Pleasure
Manicures, pedicures, facials, makeup, and hair - all in a stylish salon where you can sip on a drink while you get primped for our big day!
