Toronto in Sept

Very doubtful we go to a MLB game

Yeah I talked to a friend last night who said about the same. I may just come in Sun and leave Wed after work stuff. thanks

We typically enjoy big cities, but found Toronto to be a little underwhelming.

I disagree, personally. My MIL side of the family all lives in Toronto, so I've gotten to know it quite a bit over the years. Was just there a couple weeks ago.

Like Chicago (where we currently live), Toronto is very neighborhood-centric. Where you went can get pretty damn touristy and, like you said, you leave feeling a bit underwhelmed. It's stuff you can knock out in a single day, but you absolutely have to check off some neighborhoods - that's the lifeblood of Toronto and where most eat/drink. Kensington Market, Trinity-Bellwoods, and Little Italy, for example, have a ton of bars and restaurants, including Quetzal for dinner, Hanmoto for bites and a drink, Bellwoods for an open air brewery, and Bar Pompette for a nightcap. If you likes walks and green spaces, head over to Don Valley, which is a big system of parks/trails, or High Park.

Admittedly, a lot of Toronto's hotels are centralized, so I understand why it could be tough to get around without a ton of research. There's a lot to do, though.

I was in Toronto for a conference a few years ago, and I thought it was pleasant enough, but I didn't really feel like it was a tourist attraction in and of itself. It's not a city that I have any particular desire to return to.

frick. No. I have a friend from Winnipeg (let that sink in) that would rather eat tree bark than live in Toronto. And for sure don't stay at the Marriott that was in the dome. Nobody there, but I still ended up walking to left field (elevators at home plate) because Canadians hate Mericans.
