As a city girl, I have always wanted to see what Toronto was like. I was born and raised in NYC, so skyscrapers, traffic, lights, and people don't phase me. When I was finally in Toronto after driving an hour and a half from Niagara Falls, I was surprised by how big it was. The noise level was tolerable, compared to Manhattan where sirens and horns are heard everywhere. Toronto was friendlier, happier, calmer and more patient. I thoroughly enjoyed the few hours we spent, until we got a ticket. As someone who has been driving in NY her whole life, I should of known to quadruple check the parking rules before we parked, whoops. One of my favorite things was the architecture of the city, definitely a must see.
Nathan Phillips Square Park
We checked out the Toronto sign in Nathan Phillips Square as per recommendation of . I don't regret going at all, I loved the colors, and the people skating. Although I couldn't get a clear shot of the sign because of the skaters and people with selfie sticks, I'm pleased with how the photos came out. It was a cloudy day which made it great for moody shots.
Graffiti Alley
We got exposed to Graffiti Alley by a youtuber, Chris Hou. If you look up the tag you're going to find so many amazing shots in this alley of Toronto. I felt like Jessica Jones. I also posted a steep shot yesterday, you can check it out here.
Goldmoney
I also got to visit the Goldmoney Toronto branch. It was a great experience talking about with
as per recommendation of
, again! I made an entire post about Goldmoney, who they are and what they have to offer, you can find it here.
Woody's Burgers
We all know that spending the day walking around the city, taking pictures, making videos can get tiresome and works u an appetite. We just drove and kind of bummed into this place on our way back to our hotel, still located in Toronto though. I didn't take a picture of my food because I was so hungry but I ordered the Bistro Mushroom Burger, it was really a great meal.
Overall I had a great time in Toronto, if you're driving in just make sure you check where you park. I would suggest going to a lot and parking your car and then just exploring on foot! I wish I would of gotten on the above ground train to see what it was like. However, I have a lifetime left of exploring.
Thanks for joining me,
