6 Unique Things to Do in Toronto

By Stacey Freeman 2 Comments

A few weeks ago, I had the chance to visit Toronto for the first time. I’d heard good things about the city, but I had no expectations of my visit. Honestly, I’ve been so busy lately, I didn’t even have time to pre-plan the trip. Normally, I have a list of things I’ll do when I get to a new place, but with Toronto, I just winged it. Luckily, I did find the time to check out 5 unique things to do in Toronto.

Honestly. it is the best feeling when you have no expectations of a place and then the city blows you away. Downtown Toronto is one cool place and I can’t wait to go back. If you get to visit some time soon, here are the 5 unique things to do in Toronto that I’d highly recommend.

6 Unique Things To Do in Toronto

1. Visit Graffiti Alley for Amazing Street Art

I couldn’t believe how much amazing street art there is in Toronto. There were two main places where I checked out street art. First, I visited the Kensington Market area of the city, thanks to my Uber driver’s recommendation. Kensington Market also had a lot of really cute shops and restaurants. I actually walked from Kensington Market to Graffiti Alley, where there are tons of amazing murals. It was such a lovely walk with so many gorgeous murals. My walking tour of street art was definitely the highlight of my trip.

2. Walk Around The Distrillery District

On my last morning in Toronto, I had about an hour to kill before I headed to the airport. I wandered around the Distillery District, where there were several cute shops and lots of great-looking restaurants. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the time to actually eat (or drink), but it was definitely a cool area that I’d recommend people visit. I only wish I had more time to explore myself.

3. Stroll Along The Toronto Waterfront on Lake Ontario

My hotel happened to be right by the Toronto waterfront, so I had the chance to stroll along the waterway and happened upon this gorgeous sail boat. It wasn’t very warm the week I visited, so I didn’t spend too much time outside. However, I did enjoy the walk along the water. Plus, there was a great local brewery right by this ship, called Amsterdam Brewing Co. – they have an amazing beer selection and the best roasted Brussels sprouts.

4. Check Out Amazing Public Art

No matter where you walk in Toronto, you will find public art. I wasn’t even trying to find this cool architecture and city sign, but I just found it while I was walking to a nearby hotel for a conference session. As I walked back to my hotel later, I also saw a bunch of sheep sculptures. I just loved how artistic the city felt – so many public art instillations, so much amazing street art, and equally cool architecture throughout the city.

5. Visit the St. Lawrence Market

Early one morning, I headed to the St. Lawrence Market to check out their farmer’s market and all of the fresh food stands inside. Although I didn’t actually buy anything during my visit, I would highly suggest arriving hungry and buying some local bread or pastries. There were several stands with delicious-looking food, but I had just eaten before I arrived. Next time, I’ll know to arrive hungry.

6. Eat at Toula Restaurant at Sunset

I stayed at the Westin during my trip, so I decided to check out their rooftop restaurant. I’m so glad I did. The view was absolutely spectacular and the food was delicious too. The restaurant offers both a beautiful view of the Lake Ontario waterfront along with a great view of the CN Tower and downtown Toronto.

Overall, the trip to Toronto was way cooler then I expected. It’s a really cool big city with a lot of culture. I’m definitely planning to go back, especially in the summer. The only negative thing I have to say is that it was very cold, even in April. I hope to visit during the summer so I can enjoy walking around this cool city without constantly feeling cold. However, even with the cold, it’s a place I’d love to visit again. If you get the chance, I’d highly suggest you visit Toronto.

Please don’t touch my kids’ hair. Please tell Please don’t touch my kids’ hair. Please tell your kids not to touch their hair. I can’t believe I have to say this or explain why this is racist. But I do.

I’m sure this seems like a random statement to most people. It might not seem like a big deal to you. But it’s not random and it is a big deal. It’s a common experience for Black people, and it’s not ok. 

Given everything going on right now, it’s hard for me to talk about a right to our personal space and bodies. That’s part of it. But it’s also about making my kids feel like an other.

New on poshinprogress.com, I’m sharing the story of my shock and surprise when my daughter told me she didn’t feel comfortable wearing her hair down anymore because so many of her classmates were touching her hair. And then being dumbfounded to find out my son has had a similar experience. I also share information on racial micro aggressions and history of Black people’s hair. If this story is surprising or confusing to you, please read more about why it’s never ok to touch Black people’s hair.

I was going to post about summer fashion. I was go I was going to post about summer fashion. I was going to talk about my kids’ beach camp next week. 

But this can’t go unsaid. I am so angry right now. I am terrified for my daughter and women in the U.S.

We just lost a fundamental human right. We just lost control of our bodies. 

This is not about saving the lives of unborn children. Because if it was, then all guns would be banned - because guns are the leading cause of childhood death in the U.S. 

This decision is about control. About controlling women. 

If you have the ability to choose whether to own a gun, why can’t I choose the healthcare decisions that are right for me? This is no longer a democracy. This decision has so much greater impact than people even realize. 

If you’re looking for resources, I’m linking a comprehensive one in my stories. This is not a place for debate, this is a place to protect women and our rights to control our bodies. We must stand together.
