I’m legally blind and I LOVE that you talk about all of the senses, not just the “sights”. I’m travelling to Toronto soon and this helped me imagine what I might experience 👩🏻‍🦯, thank you!

Anyone visiting Toronto should make the St Lawrence market their first stop for a lunch. Don’t fill up in one spot. Walk around, smell and try many different foods. Love that place and it’s always my first stop when I get to Toronto.

I love your approach ---- giving us the sounds and the smells. Brilliant. You missed out on Cabbagetown, a neighbourhood with hundreds of beautiful Victorian-era houses on tree-shaded streets. This district is just a short walk from the downtown core, but it's a world apart. So much so that it has long had it's own flag (two green bars on each side of a green cabbage on white). It has one of the friendliest parks in town, where you see big family picnics, frolicking dogs, frisbee tossers aplenty, and a kids' zoo of farm animals ---- and a fantastic tobogganing hill with wonderful views. It's not far from a lively gay neighbourhood and scores of thickly populated apartment towers full of new immigrants, and an inner city university campus. There are dozens of novels set here, going back to the 1930s, and many writers and artists spent their childhoods in it, when it was considered a slum. The cabbage? In the 19th century, it was a rough and rowdy Irish Catholic neighborhood in a city run by dour Protestant Scots and prissy Anglicans. To the horror of the straight-laced elite, the poor Irish grew cabbages in their front yards instead of flowers. One of dozens of distinct and interesting neighbourhoods. But watch out for the raccoons! They'll grab your pizza slice.

Beautifully written and narrated. What a thoughtful and thorough visit to Toronto. We appreciate that. Became a subscriber. Best 🤸‍♂

Great work, we really enjoyed your impressions of Toronto!

I've been in Toronto for 40 years and I still have things to see!

I do not think I have seen a better review of Toronto. Reminded me that I have to get out more, as I live in Toronto. Although I have seen and experienced everything you have shown, it perked my interest to go back to some spots again and soon. Thanks!

Philly is tiny compared to Toronto. Toronto is most similar to Chicago. New York and Mexico City are on another level of urbanity. But in terms of dense, skyscraper filled, walkable cities in North America, I'd say NYC, Mexico City, Chicago and Toronto are the main ones. Toronto feels even bigger than LA just because LA doesn't have that big city, skyscraper feel to it, even in downtown LA.

Always so much going on in Toronto on any given day. Lots to see and do!

One of the best travel logs I’ve ever seen. 👍

Great video Mike!

Hope you enjoyed Toronto and revisit us again! We're definitely an up and coming growing, global city 🍁😎

A great watch. Toronto looks beautiful this time of year. Keep em coming, from new sub❤️🙏

Toronto has the largest underground pedestrian walkway (called The Path) in the world. It spans more than 30 km and connects 70 buildings. It is listed in the Guinnes World Record as the largest underground shopping complex in the world.

This is the first video of yours I’ve seen. Pretty good representation of the city. You at least mentioned that it is a city of neighbourhoods but I wish you would have shown some residential streets. Houses are a mix of styles with a lot of the houses ringing downtown built from 1905-1925. Craftsman, Edwardian styles are popular and most houses are brick. Toronto has a lot of semi-detached homes, which means two houses side by side attached in the middle. You were right in the Beaches neighbourhood. From their you could have walked west thru LeslieVille and Riverside (where you would have passed Degrassi Street). Walk north on Broadview passing thru Chinatown East and then the wester boundary of Riverdale. You would have see a wonderful view of Toronto from Riverdale Park East. When you go to the Danforth turn right to go east thru Greektown. Throuout this walk I’d go down a few side streets to see the beautiful urban homes built close together making for amazing communities. I’d recommend this walk for anybody visiting Toronto

this is amazing!! thank you for this! love love love Toronto!

Thank you for visiting Canada, hope you had fun. As a home sick Canadian living abroad thanks. Come back.

Great video!

I enjoyed your video and visiting Toronto next week. Thanks and i subscribe

A very good job pf catching the vibe throughout Torornto considering your limited time constraints. I lived there until my late 20s. Now put Vancouver next on your list...especially between late spring to early Fall. When there...make the trek to Whistler... only 1 1/2 hours north.

Moved here 41 years ago… super stoked on what you got from this very cool city

Nicely done.

Sharon from Philadelphia. I will watch your video at a better time. I love Toronto, it is my favorite city, privileged to have been there twice. I always say to people who are younger than I am, that if you are going to do any traveling, do it while you are younger, because you never know what thingd will be like when you get older. While I subscribed, I honestly don't know if I will be able to watch this, it brings back too many memories that are hard to deal with.

Great video. Thank you.

Well done. You've represented Toronto very well. This video is basically what my life looks like :)

I was amazed that you pronounced “Toronto” like a local by leaving out the second “t”.

Nice work man

You didn't mention or go to Fort York. A British fort in the downtown of Toronto. On the exhibition grounds there is Scadding Cabin, a pioneer home that was moved from the Don Valley. (they predate Canada too) There is also Black Creek Pioneer Village, with many early Homes, farms/barns and an Inn. If you like History, You would also like that.

Awesome video mate! Visited Toronto 5 years ago. Was great! Visited a month ago. Every part of the tourist places that i visited and went to eat or drove outside of Toronto to see. Was filled with massive amounts of Indians from Indian. What has happened? It was so overwhelming for the most part. What is going on with Canada?? Feels good being back in Switzerland

Jack Astors has locations everywhere and yes, likely if you live here, you've been there. With respect to your comments about urbanism, I would tend to agree that Toronto does it well with its neighbourhoods, however, the suburbs do not have the infrastructure with respect to transit and roads to accommodate the population and getting anywhere in the city is generally a nightmare. I avoid that by living downtown, not something everyone can afford, and on that note, house prices and rents recently have risen to a point where few can afford to live throughout the city... which has increased homelessness, forced people out of the housing market, and trapped people into staying in their rent controlled units. All factors that have an upward pressure on prices.

Excellent video.

Great video, very interesting.

How do you plan your stops or trip in general as a solo world traveler ?

Dude, you need to try the Danforth Greek community , grab some souvlaki and sit and watch the sunset from Riverdale park.

Kensington Market is a must-visit.

You talk about it…skyscrapers, beaches, the architecture, but rarely show it.

2 dias para quedarse en toronto es suficiente? (2 days is enought?)

'a strong subway system', hahaa

Montreal used to be Canada's largest city when it hosted Expo 67.

Great video man. Showing the great parts of Toronto A lot of videos just show the same shit

Hi Michael, I'm en route to becoming like u. Can u mentor me?

The biggest differences between Toronto and Chicago are social. T.O.'s crime-rate is a fraction of Chicago (handguns are illegal in Canada and it is not part of our culture to keep a gun in our homes). Canada has had an experiment over the past half century of welcoming immigrants, while encouraging them to not only become part of the country, but to hang on to old customs from home. This leads to fewer entrenched racial problems. 20:23 that is not a traditional butter tart; it looks like a small bun of some sort. Butter tarts have a bottom pie-pastry shell.

Nice video. Multi culti has added diversity to Toronto, but also divisive elements who want to rewrite our history.

Gay toronto was good,

Canadians also do another thing better: How to protect property owners at the expense of *everyone else*, including the future of youth.

lived in toornto doubt its most multi cultural city, ever city in a canada mixed and think north america

I was hoping you were going to make it to Halan's Clothing Optional Beach on Toronto Island. I wanted to see more of your gorgeous body after a tease of that hairy chest of yours and hairy face stubble. What a beautiful and thoughtful video from such a cute guy!

We should have an nfl team for sure

SEAGULLS not lake birds smh😂

I dont know why people are determined to insist that Toronto is bigger than Chicago. it isnt. never quote city proper populations because those lines can be drawn arbitrarily or long ago before a city had much of it's growth. up until 25 years ago, Toronto "proper" only had a population of about 800k... then the city decided to redraw the lines so it included it's closest suburbs. the Toronto Metro pop of about 6.5 million vs Chicago's 9 million is a far more true comparison. if you were talking about London, UK would you only quote the population of the 1 mile by 1 mile "City of London"? no of course not because it doesnt make any sense.

First thing: reaaly good video. Chapeau. Toronto food is good, thanks in large part to the multicultural makeup of the city. Kensington Market was way cooler before the hipsters and weed shops colonized it. Kensington used to be the place where families would go and find stuff and food from the old country. Italian, Portuguese, Jewish, South American, Carribean, etc. You would see people of all ethnic backgrounds doing business. Now, it's an ethnic zoo for tourists and a hang for pretentious wokey types who have nothing cultural or unique to contribute to the hood. And it's far too crowded. Most locals avoid the place now. As for Yonge-Dundas Square... possibly the ugliest urban space in North America. The giant, tacky, video billboards help distract from the ugly grey modern rubbish that passes for architecture in this city. Comparing it to Times Square in New York is an insult to Times Square. Now some positivity... The Islands are great and the city's parks, ravines and urban forrest help locals escape the city without having to leave the city. The shrinking ethnic neighboorhoods of Greektown, Little Italy and Little Portugal are still cool to explore, but they are being gentrified and wokified, ironically erasing their identities as unique neighborhoods on the cityscape. If you want to see the city from one end to another by tram, like they do in San Francisco and Lisbon, then there are 2 trams or streetcars worth considering: the 501 Queen Streetcar that takes you along the lakeshore and through downtown across Queen St. It's a long ride that tends to take you in a very straight line. And my favourite, the 506 Carlton that takes you from Main Street subway station in the east end all the way to High Park in the west. The 506 winds its way across town and you see more of Toronto's interesting neighborhoods, including Little India, U of T, Kensington, Little Italy, Little Portugal, Roncesvalles, and High Park. The new Toronto trams aren't as cool as they used be but it is a great tram ride if you're a transit nerd. Cheers.

not TO-RON-TO, you just say Tarrano

re architecture... Chicago's skyline and individual buildings far outshine Toronto's forest of banal low budget glass boxes that are simply copy and pasted dozens of times by the same 3-5 archit4ectural firms. you could probably count on one hand the number of top tier skyscrapers in Toronto, while Chicago would have dozens. you must be blind if you think they are super cool and innovative. look again closer. they are all literally glass boxes just with different glass or balcony patterns on them. it is the biggest joke of architecture I have seen anywhere in the world.

Poutine ? Is from french Canada not Toronto

He loses it when he says, "Quite often, Canadians and Americans are indistinguishable." No, that is not true. Sure, on the surface, if you see a white person and ask for directions, it's the same. But spend more time talking, and the differences become immediately apparent (to me, as a Canadian). Americans are quite opinionated and have a relative ignorance of the world beyond their borders. Their politics are vastly different, so much so that such politics cut to the heart of American identity. (And as far as politics goes, Canadian identity is certainly shaped by our politics.) So, not "yes and no" when making a comparison to Chicago; it's always "no and no."

Its also the most UnCanadian city in Canada 🇨🇦 😕

Multicultural? Hmmm i saw mostly punjabis when i went

Mexico City is not part of North America .. that's Central America.

lol strong subway system? modern patchwork? LMAO,.....this city used to be so amazing - I was so proud of this city but things have gone downhill. every time I have been to scar bluffs - next week there is always a body being found there. Crime, expenses, traffic etc have gone up big time. Toronto is a city which is full of woke people now - you could literally fall down on the street in downtown and no one would give a crap. 401 is the most busiest hwy in the world. Takes are crazy, rent is crazy...good city to visit but then pls leave....not a city where you want to live in anymore.

"Canadians do urbanism better than Americans"... with the notable exceptions of NYC and Chicago (before they became Democrat bastions of crime and decay).

Most boring big western city

Yes Toronto is diverse and that always seems to be a talking point, however, I find that those diverse communities like to stay within their own culture which in my opinion is a negative. Diversity, on its own when you dig deeper is not so great. Interaction between those diverse cultures would be fantastic but people like to be with those whom they have a cominality.
