Toronto is For Lovers

This past week, I traveled to Toronto...

            I absolutely loved Toronto. I stayed in Kensington Market—a Mecca for food shopping and very close to everything downtown. Toronto is perhaps one of the most diverse cities that I have traveled to. The concept of race felt almost non-existent. Like in the U.S., there were neighborhoods with shops and restaurants from specific cultures—like Chinatown; however, in these neighborhoods, one could find a person from any culture exploring a new one. It felt like a cultural utopia. The people of the city were integrated with each other.

            The combination of the slow(-er than New York) pace of life, diversity, good food and smell of opportunity left me falling in love with Toronto and wanting to go back.   

            This week I’m going to recap the good food that I tried of Toronto and how I stayed healthy throughout this trip – keep in mind that I needed to look good on camera at the beginning of my trip – and again at the end of it.

 

            Here’s what’s coming this week on the blog:

• Restaurant Review – Grasshopper 

• Food in Kensington Market (Gourmet foods for cheap!)
