We've heard Toronto described as "New York City run by the Swiss," and it's true—you can find world-class theater, shopping and restaurants here, but the sidewalks are clean and the people are friendly. The best place to start is literally at the top—the CN Tower, the tallest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere.

With a collection of more than 90,000 works of art, the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) is among the largest and most distinguished art museums in North America. An international landmark, the AGO is also one of Canada’s most innovative cultural destinations. Highlights of the Gallery’s world-class collection include iconic Canadian and Inuit works, along with European and contemporary art – all on view in a spectacular building transformed by renowned Toronto-born architect Frank Gehry. After spending time with the AGO’s vast collection, be sure to enjoy a meal or glass of wine at the Gallery’s award-winning restaurant FRANK. Visit shopAGO for a unique collection of artful gifts, one-of-a-kind jewelry, and beautiful art books.
This fine gallery has interesting permanent collections including a wonderful room of sculptures by Henry Moore and regular fantastic visiting shows - most recently on the influence of industrialism of the Impressionists - I will look at Gare St. Lazare with new eyes.

This restored brick home is open to the public and formerly housed the Art Museum of Toronto.
Staying at the Super 8 a bit west of the park, it was a pleasant stroll as I headed east. It is always nice to see any green space in a large city. This one is a cut above. There was a large enclosure for dogs to run around unleashed. There were extensive play areas for children, one sign indicating no adults unless accompanied by a child. Located and very much associated with the Art Gallery of Ontario to its north, some unique sculpture work is on display, including pieces by the world famous sculptor Henry Moore. The park’s history is interesting. From the early 19th century, it served as the front lawn area of The Grange, the family residence of the Boulton family. An elliptical path for carriages of that bygone era has been kept. The area was reopened to the public in 2017, under the supervision of the Grange Park Advisory Committee. Keeping the historic theme, the park is anchored on its northern side by The Grange, a Georgian manor house. I suspect it the park looks even better in the summer when splash pads are a welcome relief from the heat.

This watering hole has been drawing jazz fans since it first opened in 1951. Admittedly the decor hasn't changed much since the old days, but the sounds you'll find here are cutting edge. The Rex lures top local and international talent; Tuesday is the weekly jam night.
This really is the place to go in Toronto to hear live jazz. Good atmosphere, find sound system, and the food is reasonable priced. Not a huge assortment of craft beers---but we were able to find something we all liked and had a pitcher. Music wise I liked the fact that they are willing to book groups who aren't necessarily playing your standard bebop or old standards style jazz. They have quite a variety, and this wonderful group (Neon Eagle) was led by a pedal steel guitarist (Mike Eckert) of all people. And they were terrific! I'll be back!
