We spent both Wednesday and Thursday exploring downtown Toronto, even though the TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) forced us to stay out in the 'burbs due to high hotel prices. We still saw a lot, despite mega rush hour traffic. I absolutely loved Toronto. I could actually see myself living there, most likely because it reminded me a lot of Chicago but (dare I say) a bit cooler. There were a ton of ethnic areas as well as a lot of street art and what looked like a lively group of people that lived there. The Canadian beer and wine doesn't hurt!
