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.
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.
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.
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.
When the weather turns in Toronto
PATH is the answer and it is vast, roughly thirty kilometres of climate-controlled walkway tying Union Station to the financial towers and several malls, letting you cross downtown without a coat. Above ground, the ROM and the AGO are a short streetcar apart. A Wednesday evening at the AGO turns a wet night into a free one.
