What things cost in Toronto
A TTC day pass at $13.50 beats $3.30 singles from the fourth ride onward. CN Tower admission near CAD $43 is the big-ticket item of any Toronto trip. The AGO costs nothing on Wednesday evenings or for under-26s, and the ROM nothing on the third Tuesday. A Kensington patty or a peameal sandwich makes a single-digit lunch.
What to eat in Toronto
Kensington Market is the eating destination, with Caribbean patties, Chilean, Portuguese, and vegan counters packed into a few blocks of Victorian houses. The peameal bacon sandwich from Carousel Bakery inside St Lawrence Market is the local signature, and the South Market closes Mondays entirely. Gerrard Street East is the South Asian strip, and the Danforth is Greek.
What first-timers get wrong in Toronto
Fares are flat whatever the distance, and one $3.30 tap buys two hours of unlimited transfers across subway, bus, and streetcar. Streetcars are boarded at all doors on proof-of-payment, so validate. Sales tax and a 15 to 20% tip are both added after the listed price. CN Tower and Ripley's cost less bundled than bought separately.
Toronto after dark
Ontario's 2am last call is enforced, which compresses the whole night. Ossington and Dundas West carry the bar crowd, King West the bottle-service end, Queen West the middle ground. Liquor still comes mostly from the LCBO on restricted hours, so a midnight bottle is not straightforward. Streetcars keep running late along the main east-west routes.
Toronto with kids, realistically
TTC fares are $3.30 with a $13.50 day pass, and children twelve and under ride free, which is unusually generous. Ripley's Aquarium sits directly at the CN Tower's foot for a combined afternoon. High Park has a free zoo and large playground. PATH keeps toddlers out of February weather completely, though its signage defeats adults more reliably than children.
