About Toronto

City overview

Toronto sits on Lake Ontario, with Downtown, Kensington Market, The Annex, Distillery District, Leslieville, Yorkville, Queen West, and The Beaches linking towers, streetcars, islands, markets, museums, sports venues, and immigrant food corridors. The CN Tower, St Lawrence Market, Toronto Islands, Queen Street West, and University Avenue give the city a clear axis from waterfront to neighborhoods.

Food & drink

Toronto food is market-stall and diaspora-heavy: peameal bacon sandwiches stack cornmeal-crusted back bacon on a bun, Jamaican patties wrap spiced beef or vegetables in flaky yellow pastry, doubles use curried chickpeas between bara, and butter tarts are the sticky Canadian bakery stop. St Lawrence Market, Kensington Market, Chinatown, Koreatown, Little Italy, Greektown, Queen West, and Scarborough food courts add poutine, dim sum, Korean barbecue, Italian sandwiches, souvlaki, and late-night slices.
