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.

Popular shopping areas with affordable shops and restaurants.
One of the best places for high end shopping is Bloor Street. Major stores, such as Louis Vuitton, Tiffany and Co., Hermes, Cartier, and Prada to name a few you will find in this street. Excellent customer service, great shopping and hotels nearby, this is the place to be if you want to experience top notch service. It is in an open area, so be mindful of the weahter conditions that you might have to deal with during the winter.

I was pleasantly surprised to experience the salmon run right here in the city. How fortunate! I learnt afterwards that there are enhancements to assist the fish migration because I left the park sad seeing those big and beautiful fish try so hard but not one got over the dam while I was there. I am also not sure if those anglers should be there. To me, they are just traumatizing the fish even with the catch and release option. Not sure what satisfaction they get when they congregate in the Humber River at a time when the there is a concentration in a defined space during spawning season. Anyways, it was a pure thrill to be there on a glorious Fall day. The park has many trails and bike lanes - a convenient site to soak up a bit of nature.

My friend and I stayed at the Old Mill overnight and had spa treatments booked for the next day. I had a Swedish massage with Krystina (sp?) and then a Rosemary Mint Pedicure and Lavender Manicure with Agnes. The atmosphere is wonderfully relaxing and the staff friendly/welcoming. Agnes told me she loved working at the Old Mill, that staff were treated with respect. My friend did the Hot Stone Massage and the French Pear & Chocolate Dip, and told me she loved everything (she also apparently fell asleep during one of the treatments; she was that relaxed!). After our treatments, we did the Afternoon Tea. Beautifully presented and delicious! The chef came out afterward - so sweet and friendly. I was also impressed that a portion of the proceeds from Old Mill Toronto's Afternoon Tea is annually donated to the Women's Habitat charity. Our rooms (I was in 502, my friend in 501) were beautifully appointed with a gorgeous view, much bigger than we expected. Only a few comments re: possible small improvements including improving the in-room audio system (cassette tape/CD player but no in-room tapes or CDs, outdated iHome that only accommodates older devices) and making sure the Where magazine is up-to-date - my room's issue were all for events that had already passed. I also notice that my curtain was starting to wear through a bit, with tiny holes that let sunlight through in the morning. Both my friend and I had a wonderful and relaxing time, and we hope to come back again sometime.
