A few days ago, I was sent to Toronto on a business trip and had some alone time to do a little sightseeing around the city. Since it was my first time in TO, I wanted to do and see the cool stuff. So, I asked my Toronto-based friend Angie from The Weekenders Fashion Blog for a list of the best of Toronto: best places to see, to shop, to eat & drink.
Believe me, this is your go-to list for the best of the city!
