24+ Interesting Things to Do in Toronto’s Historic Distillery District

Your Guide to Toronto’s Distillery District

The Distillery District is an architectural treasure and a top destination for arts, culture and entertainment. What began as the Gooderham and Worts Distillery is now a National Historic Site of Canada. The area is a unique pocket of Victorian-era industrial architecture surrounded by a city of concrete and glass. It’s the world’s largest preserved collection of it, in fact. As you explore the romantically European cobblestone streets you’ll be transported back in time… But now that the area is populated by artists and their studios, its also been transformed into a hub for forward-thinking art and design – all while preserving its historic character. And the best part: no cars allowed, just like the olden days!

If you love art, specialty stores, and outdoor markets, check out Toronto’s other most pedestrian friendly neighbourhood: Kensington Market ! You might like to see what’s going on over at artsy  Trinity Bellwoods too…

In fact, all of Toronto is buzzing with Incredible Things to Do in Toronto this Summer .

1. Settle in for a delicious meal

The area’s got a few delicious restaurants. They’ll serve you dinner amongst stone walls and steel beams, mixing their historic setting with contemporary cuisine. Out of all of them, these ones are real stand-outs.

Cluny Bistro

When you mention the Distillery District to someone from Toronto they’ll often tell you: make sure you go to Cluny Bistro. This spacious French Bistro with dazzling decor is a destination in itself. Whether you’re there for brunch, lunch or dinner, their seafood options – such as the tuna tartar – are simply mouthwatering. Make sure to book a reservation and skip the line! website

This place brings together fine dining and Mexican cuisine . Plus, El Catrin has a lot to offer: some of the best tacos in the city, a huge heated patio that lets you can eat outdoors year round , 120 types of tequila and mescal, as well as a giant indoor mural painted by some of Mexico’s best artists. website

What has long been a sushi place has now reimagined itself as a noodle bar , and we’re excited! The rebrand just opened on May 31st, 2018, so it’s a fresh new spot with lots of charm. Stop by for some delightful ramen , izakaya bites, and a great selection of creative Japanese-inspired cocktails. website

2. Browse the local art galleries

One thing you’ll notice when you’re in the Distillery District: the place is run by artists. As a result, there’s naturally a wide selection of galleries that showcase both local and international art.

Arta Gallery

Visit Arta Gallery to see a regularly-changing array of contemporary art exhibitions, from both their artists in residence and other international figures. Seeking to bring art closer to the public’s daily life, Arta is a fully functional event space and provides art consultations for those wishing to add to their collections. website

Corkin Gallery

This gallery has a focus on contemporary photography and abstract visual art , and has a vast collection of vintage photographs . Their exhibitions swing between looking to future and back at the past, making the gallery dynamic, unpredictable and worth coming back to time after time. website

Thompson Landry Gallery

The only gallery in Toronto specializing in Quebec artists , ranging from contemporary painters and sculptors to a collection of work by old Quebec masters . Exposed brick and limestone walls make for a striking background to their exhibits. website

3. Sample the fruits of today’s alcohol production

While it’s days as the largest distillery in the British Empire are over, there are a couple spaces in the Distillery District that are still leaders in the game of alcohol production, carrying on its tradition. And lucky for you, these are products you can try on your next visit to the area.

Mill Street Brew Pub + Beer Hall

What is now their Distillery District brewpub began as the headquarters for this brewing big-shot. After starting off in 2002 by making Ontario’s first organic beer , they still make many of their seasonal brews right in the heart of this historic neighbourhood. Come in, sip some pints and have a meal right next to the fermentation action.  website

Another Ontario front runner, this sake brewery brings Japanese methods and recipes to eastern North America for the first time. You can go and sample the locally brewed sake right at their Distillery District factory in the retail store, or pick up some bottles to take home. website

Spirit of York

And naturally, true to its roots, there’s a distillery in the District . Spirit of York make premium spirits using state-of-the-art, hand crafted copper stills. Take a tour of their tasting room , see the production behind a glass wall, smell the botanicals used in their gin and, of course, try the finished products in their cocktail lounge. website

4. If it’s winter, gift shop at the Christmas Market

From mid-November until Christmas the Toronto Christmas Market takes over and transforms the Distillery District into a winter wonderland . And there’s so much to do! The market is packed with vendors and craftsmen selling artisanal goods that make perfect gifts, as well as lots of tasty treats . Pick up anything from soap, to fleece sweaters, to holiday souvenirs. You can also have your photo (or your pet’s!) taken with Santa, sip mulled wine by the fire in an outdoor beer garden or head over to the main stage for musical performances every night of the week. website

5. Check out some specialty stores

The owners of the Distillery District turned it from a collection of derelict buildings into the creatively charged and inspiring destination it is today. To keep this spirit in the streets, they won’t rent space to large corporations and franchises, so you can be sure all the stores are locally owned and operated, or at least have a stand-out ethos.

A charming boutique for women’s clothing, bags and accessories , Hoi Bo’s products are smart, sustainable, and functional, not to mention stylish. Everything is crafted with care and intention. Plus, their bags and pouches are completely unique ; made of waxed cotton or even washable, treated paper, they’re unlike anything we’ve seen before. website

DECIEM – The Abnormal Beauty Company

Though it’s now a global enterprise, this Toronto-based beauty company is an umbrella for several game changing brands. Their mission is this: transparency and integrity . They’ll tell you exactly what they put in their products, and why, so you’ll know you’re getting something that simply works. website

Antique Stores

A step in another direction: get lost amongst the found treasures of Blackbird Vintage Finds and unearth some souvenirs of the past. The store’s owner has quite the obsession with antiques , which is pretty fitting in an area that’s antique itself.  website

Check out GW General for another adventure in vintage items and curiosities, it’s packed to the brim with just that! From beautiful to plain weird… the variety is endless. Best of all, they have lots of antique furniture , and even do custom designs. This is a stop you won’t want to miss. website

Bergo is another store that you can poke around in for a while, but instead of looking to the past, it’s a journey through contemporary design . They have lots of unconventional home goods , decorations and watches that make perfect gifts for the special people in your life. website

6. Visit the artists at Artscape Distillery Studios

These studios were one of the first tenants as part of the new wave of community-building in the Distillery District. Infusing the area with vibrancy, the building is home to dozens of artists and creatives who work in all kinds of mediums. There, you can check out the studio-galleries of artists like B arbara Wybou , who makes delightful, hand carved woodblock prints, or Susan Card and her ceramics project Dish Gallery + Studio , as well as illustration based  mehoi , which sells charming goods from pins to greeting cards. It also houses the studios of numerous dance and theatre companies who’s performances you can see in venues around the city, or even online in the case of Expect Theatre ‘s podcasting-based project, PlayME , which brings Canadian theatre right to your earbuds. 

7. Savour the day at a cafe

There’s so much to do in the Distillery District, but luckily there’s some cafes around to fuel you up and keep you going. Take a load off your feet and have a pause at one of these delightful coffee shops.

Balzac’s

Part of a small chain of locally owned cafes, Balzac’s Coffee Roasters is a Toronto favourite . Their Distillery District coffee shop brings all the vintage charm you’d expect from a Parisian cafe to the 1895 Pump House, making it the perfect place to get cozy and watch people go by on the cobblestone streets. website

Not only is it a charming multi-roaster cafe with Australian influence, Arvo is also a florist . They sell succulents, floral arrangements and pretty things of the sort. They also source seasonal coffee , among other drinks, from around the globe, and prepare it using espresso, drip or specialty pourover techniques. website

8. Experience Toronto’s performing arts scene

Not just Artscape, but the whole area is a hub for the performing arts. Stop by for some live action excitement, whether its theatre or beyond!

Young Centre for the Performing Arts

The Young Centre for the Performing Arts is home to both the George Brown Theatre School and Toronto’s famed independent , not-for-profit theatre company: Soulpepper . Catch their shows and ones from visiting artists to laugh, cry, feel and be inspired at this energetic venue. website

Ernest Balmer Studio

This studio space is used in collaboration by Nightwood Theater , a feminist theatre company working out of the Distillery District with shows around the city, and  Tapestry Opera , a contemporary opera company. This year they’re partnering with  Luminato Festival for a production of Tables Turned and with Pride Toronto for Tap This! A Queerated Opera Series. shows

Dancemakers

To watch some multidisciplinary and innovative dance performances by local and international artists check out Dancemakers. They’re committed to pushing forward the field of contemporary dance through residencies, performances and workshops, including projects such as the Flowchart performance series. website

9. Interact with the public art installations

At the moment, there are two massive and striking sculptures on display in the Distillery District’s streets.  Dennis Oppenheim’s “Still Dancing” is a twisted and colourful depiction of the area’s past as a distillery (if you want it to be) located at the intersection of Distillery Lane and Trinity Street. Meanwhile, Michael Christian’s “I.T.” looks over the neighbourhood with an alien stare from it’s post on Gristmill Lane. A common theme in the area’s installations is love ; a red heart even acts as a gateway to the district off Parliament Street. There is also a much photographed steel sign spelling out “LOVE” on Tank House Lane is covered in locks left there by lovers visiting from around the world, and maybe you?

If you’re a big fan of public sculpture head over to the neighbouring West Don Lands Area, less than a 5 minute walk away, to see it’s streets saturated in public works  such as Mark di Suvero’s iconic “No Shoes” as well as bouncy and playful yet incisive group work “The Water Guardians.”

10. Nibble on some sweet treats

If you’ve got a sweet tooth, you’re in luck! There’s a fair share of deliciously sweet eats on offer in the area. Savour some as you walk the streets, or maybe bring them back for someone you think is sweet, too.

Soma Chocolatemaker

Think you know chocolate? This factory store in the heart of the Distillery District might teach you a thing or two. They’re sure to spice up your chocolate experience , even if it takes trying the spiced mayan drinking chocolate, hot pink raspberry bar or their citrusy caramels.  website

Greg’s Ice Cream

Torontonians will tell you, Greg’s homemade ice cream is some of the best in the city. Picture yourself sitting on a bench in the Distillery District on a warm summer night… The moment’s not complete without one of their cones in hand! What fun, unique flavour will you pick?  facebook

Brick Street Bakery

Cookies, pastries, tarts and danishes… the smell of warm sugar and organic flour wafts through this bakery . It’s the perfect place to stop by while visiting the Christmas Market for a hot chocolate and Christmas pudding, or for lunch any time of year. They have the best BLTs in the city , served on homemade bread. website

11. Discover the surrounding neighbourhoods

The Distillery District is at the heart of Old Toronto, so if you wander past its perimeter there is so much more to see.

If you walk west from Mill St. and Gristmill Lane along David Crombie Park you’ll reach the St. Lawrence Market , full of fresh local produce, cheese, and artisans selling souvenirs, clothing, jewellery, and much more. While you’re there you have to try Toronto’s signature Peameal bacon sandwich. The market is also not far from the Gooderham Building , which is often referred to as Toronto’s Flatiron Building, but is actually named the son of William Gooderham, the founder of the Gooderham and Worts Distillery… yep that’s the distillery that is now the Distillery District. There are also a couple Performing Arts Centres in the area as well as popular brewpub  C’est What  and the majestic St. James Cathedral , an exemplary piece of Gothic Revival architecture.

In the other direction to the north you’ll discover Corktown, another historic district. There, you’ll find original 19th century British style row housing, the Enoch Turner Schoolhouse Museum , commemorating and situated in the first free school in Toronto, and  St. Paul’s Basilica , the first Roman Catholic church in Toronto.

Looking for the best things to do in the Toronto Distillery District ?

Once home to the largest whiskey distillery in the world, the Distillery District is now a trendy, pedestrian-only neighbourhood filled with tons of fun things to do.

You can find unique activities, amazing restaurants, and decent shopping in this quaint little area.

It’s only within the last 20 years that the Distillery District has become what it is today, and the owners have done an amazing job of restoring this national historic site.

There’s a lot of history behind the Distillery District and how it came to be, and you can do a walking tour or segway tour around the area to learn more about it.

If you’re looking for fun activities in the Distillery District, here’s your guide on the best things to do in the neighbourhood!

Best things to do in the Distillery District

• Grab fair-trade and organic coffee at Balzac’s

Always have to stay caffeinated, ya feel?

Lucky for you, the Distillery District has quite a few local coffee shops in the neighbourhood.

Balzac’s Coffee is always my go-to café in the Distillery District, but Arvo is another favourite.

Balzac’s is an Ontario-based coffee shop chain with incredible coffee made from fair-trade organic beans.

They have tons of locations across Toronto, but their Distillery District location is definitely my favourite.

It’s housed in what was once a Victorian fire pump house, which was built for fire protection.

My fave thing to get at Balzac’s is the Cafe Canadian, and you should definitely swap out the milk for macadamia nut milk because it’s hecka delicious.

LOCATION:   1 Trinity St, Toronto, ON

• Make your own candle at Yummi Candles

Looking for a fun and unique gift idea , or just something cool to take home with you?

Yummi Candles offers candle-making workshops in the Distillery District, a fun experience for DIY lovers.

You get to choose the fragrances, combine the scents with the waxes and wicks, and even customize the label.

It takes a few hours for the candles to cool down so you have to come back later to pick it up, but they can hold it in-store for up to a week.

At $90 plus tax per person, it’s a little more on the expensive side, but it’s one of those activities worth doing at least once!

It’s also a fun winter date idea if you’re looking to impress someone – though they close workshops during the holidays because of the Toronto Christmas Market .

LOCATION: 10 Trinity St, Toronto, ON

• Grab lunch and shop local at Wildly Delicious

Once you’re ready to eat, enjoy a delicious sandwich at Wildly Delicious.

I’ve only had their grilled cheese, but it was probably one of the best grilled cheeses I’ve ever had.

Afterwards, you can shop Wildly Delicious’ unique house-made sauces, dips, and spreads.

There’s plenty to see and shop around the shop – grab some of their chimichurri steak rub, French onion & goat cheese dip, or spiced whiskey marmalade to take home!

LOCATION: 11 Tank House Lane, Toronto, ON

• Go window shopping in the Distillery District

The Distillery District is filled with dozens of one-of-a-kind stores and adorable boutiques, and you can do tons of window shopping (or actual shopping, if you please).

Here are some stores and boutiques worth checking out:

• Hoi Bo is a Toronto sustainable fashion brand that makes their clothes by hand in their studio/shop.
• Deciem is a local clean skincare brand loved by Torontonians, and their Distillery District store is gorgeous.

• Snap away at all the Instagram-worthy corners

The 19th century Victorian Industrial buildings and cobblestone streets provide tons of Instagrammable photo opportunities .

The big red heart and “love” signs are there year-round, also for your photo-taking pleasure.

My fave time to visit for taking photos is the holidays because of all the cute Christmas decorations !

If you’re looking for indoor spots to take photos, Balzac’s is beautiful with great lighting, but they only allow smartphone cameras.

It might be better to stick to smartphone photos in the Distillery District, because they’re a little prickly about “professional” photography and you may get stopped by security.

• Wander around an art gallery in the Distillery District

In the mood to gaze at some local art?

The Distillery District is home to several art galleries, and Arta Gallery is a cool one worth stopping by in the neighbourhood.

There are also a bunch of art studios and shops, which you can learn more about on the Distillery District’s website .

• Enjoy dinner at Cluny Bistro & Boulangerie

Get a taste of modern French cuisine at Cluny Bistro, a huge and Instagram-worthy restaurant with a stunning Parisian-style interior.

While I do think their dishes can be hit or miss, their foie gras eclairs are phenomenal  and worth trying.

I’ve heard good things about their fried frog’s legs and have yet to try them!

Other great dinner options in the Distillery District are El Catrin for Mexican bites or Mill Street Brew Pub for classic bar food staples.

LOCATION: 35 Tank House Lane, Toronto, ON

• Watch a live performance at the Young Centre for the Performing Arts

I watched the live play of Kim’s Convenience   at the Young Centre several years ago, and it was so emotional and well-performed.

The TV show itself (available on Netflix and Prime Video ) is one of my favourite comedies, and Paul Sun-Hyung Lee actually performed as Appa in the live play as well!

Watching a show at the Young Centre is a great way to warm up after exploring the Distillery Winter Village or Toronto Light Festival during the winter .

LOCATION:   50 Tank House Lane, Toronto, ON

• Get your sweet tooth on at Greg’s Ice Cream

Satisfy your sweet tooth with some locally-made ice cream for dessert at Greg’s Ice Cream.

Greg’s has unique flavours like Roasted Marshmallow that are always fun to try!

If you’re in the mood to sit down somewhere instead, enjoy some melty chocolate fondue and lattes at Cacao 70 .

LOCATION: 32 Gristmill Lane, Toronto, ON

• Go on the Spirits of the Distillery District Ghost Tour

If you think you can handle the spooky (true) tales, go on the Spirits of the Distillery District Ghost Tour .

You’ll get to walk along the cobblestone streets by lantern light, all while learning about one of Toronto’s most haunted spots.

It’s run by the Haunted Walk of Toronto, who also operates other haunted tours across the city!

Do it in October for a fun Halloween experience.

• Check out a seasonal activity in the Distillery District

While the Distillery District is fun to visit all year-round, it’s definitely the most lively during the winter season.

The Toronto Christmas Market (now known as the Distillery Winter Village ) happens every November through December, and the Toronto Light Festival happens every January through March.

They also have some fun art installations around the neighbourhood throughout the year!

Best things to do in the Distillery District:

While there are many other things to do in the Distillery District, these were just activities and spots I personally recommend.

If you want to learn more about the Distillery District via tour, you can do a fun walking tour or segway tour !

Toronto may be Canada’s largest city, but thanks to ample public transportation and pedestrian-friendly areas, it’s wonderfully easy to explore all the vibrant neighborhoods, creative corners, and festivals that give Toronto its color by foot. The city’s districts are as diverse and culturally unique as its population, and you can discover food paradises, LGBTQ+-friendly hangouts, historic zones, and more. Here are seven of Toronto’s best, most walkable neighborhoods to check out.

See panoramic views in the South Core Business District

Tucked in the eastern edge of the Railway Lands in downtown Toronto, The South Core Business District is home to the iconic CN Tower , a 1,814-foot high observation tower, and the Harbourfront Centre , Toronto’s hub for contemporary arts, culture, and ideas. Taking in the 100-mile views at the Sky Pod on the CN Tower is a must—on clear days visitors can see as far as Niagara Falls and New York State.

South Core is easily accessed through the PATH underground pedestrian walkway network that connects Scotiabank Arena to other attractions like the Hockey Hall of Fame . If you’re spending the whole day downtown, fuel up with Pearl Harbourfront Chinese Cuisine’s popular dim sum lunch special before visiting the Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery , located along downtown Toronto’s Waterfront. Then, catch a show and a laugh at Toronto’s new Second City comedy theater, where the Afar team recently enjoyed an insightful workshop followed by dinner. South Core is also an easy walk to the downtown ferries if you’re looking to hop over to Toronto Island Park.

Shopping, eating, and more in the Distillery District

Toronto’s historic Distillery District , once home to the Gooderham & Worts Distillery, is a collection of 47 Victorian industrial buildings that in 2003 were restored to become a hub of shopping, dining, performance spaces, and festivals. Visitors can browse more than 40 one-of-a-kind boutiques, savor award-winning dishes and international cuisines, and experience world-renowned festivals and events. You can also wow the senses at the district’s new immersive art destination Illuminarium , giving the curious a visual, audio, and projection experience that transports them to the surface of the moon and down Alice in Wonderland’s magical rabbit hole, and shows what’s it’s like to go head to head with a lion.

During the holidays, the Distillery District gets into the spirit of the season with the Distillery Winter Village , formerly known as the Toronto Christmas Market. The cobblestone, pedestrian-only streets light up with thousands of twinkling lights and host local vendors, seven-foot-tall snow people, a Candy Cane Forest on Gristmill Lane, and a vintage Christmas card photo wall.

Support Church-Wellesley Village’s LGBTQ+ community

In the heart of Toronto, Church-Wellesley Village is one of the friendliest and most diverse neighborhoods in the city. The historic home of Toronto’s LGBTQ+ communities, the area features galleries, theaters, and events, including Pride Toronto in June. Church-Wellesley is also part of the city-wide Fringe Festival in July.

When visiting, check out the Glad Day Bookstore , Toronto’s historic and oldest queer-centric book dealer, before grabbing a freshly baked scone from the Whiskful Thinking Bakery. If you’re looking for a memorable experience with lots of laughs and talent, head to Buddies in Bad Times Theatre Wednesdays through Sundays when Tallulah’s Cabaret opens its doors for poetry readings, drag performances, and late-night dancing.

Check out art and relax in Bloor-Yorkville

The Royal Ontario Museum

Home to the Gardiner Museum and the Royal Ontario Museum , Bloor-Yorkville in midtown Toronto is also the place to delight in gourmet restaurants, designer boutiques, and art galleries. This stylish shopping area is known for its Victorian-era homes and architecture and dozens of beautiful restaurant patios, like the one at the New Zealand-focused Hemingway’s Restaurant .

You can also clear your mind and spirit through a sensory experience at Othership Sauna and Ice Bath , one of the newest ways to care for yourself and relax in the area, as members of the Afar team did earlier this year. The beautifully designed space is as soothing as the guidance offered by Othership’s staff.

Eat your way through the Danforth Greek Neighborhood

If it’s food from all corners of the globe you’re seeking, go to the Danforth Greek Neighborhood . Nicknamed “Greek Town,” it’s where you’ll find one of the largest Greek communities in North America, but its culinary choices range from Lebanese, Ethiopian, Turkish, Asian, and more.

Be sure to check out the Percy Waters Flower Market, which opened its doors in 1911 and is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, businesses on The Danforth, and the East York Farmers Market every Tuesday, May through October for local, fresh produce and homemade treats. Speaking of treats, indulge your sweet tooth at Greek Town’s famous bakeries, like The North Pole Bakery and Serano Bakery.

Food isn’t the only draw of Greek Town. Entertainment and music are also at the heart of the neighborhood. The Comedy Bar is a brand new comedy venue in the east end with performances seven nights a week, and any month of the year, you can catch a top-billed show from the likes of Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Iggy Azalea, RuPaul’s Drag Race, and Lorde at The Danforth Music Hall .

Experience history in Chinatown

One of Toronto’s oldest areas is Chinatown with its numerous Asian restaurants, shops and food stalls, neon signs, and vibrant art. In addition to hundreds of different places to sample Chinese food and more, this neighborhood is easy to get to via Toronto’s expansive public streetcar network. The Gateway, towering red sculptures based on the ancient script form of the Chinese characters for “gateway,” marks the entrance to the neighborhood.

Children love the playgrounds and splash pads at Grange Park here and art lovers flock to the Art Gallery of Ontario and its seven permanent collections, including Indigenous and Canadian art collections. Across the street, the Bau-Xi Gallery highlights the best of international and Canadian art.

Of course, you can’t visit Chinatown without visiting one or more of its famous spots for food, like Chine Legendary Hot Pot & BBQ , Ding Dong Pastries & Cafe, or Mother’s Dumplings.

Get cultured in Kensington Market

Kensington Market

Perhaps one of the best-known neighborhoods to visit in Toronto is Kensington Market with its street art and colorful Victorian homes. Although easily accessed by four different streetcar lines, the best way to explore this diverse and hopping district is by foot. If you’re visiting on the last Sunday of the month from May to October, it gets even more pedestrian-friendly with the Pedestrian Sunday Festivals’ artists, live music, performances, and local vendors.

If all that walking makes you parched, grab a cooling pint of craft beer or the famous watermelon ale made with hibiscus flowers at Kensington Brewing Company before feasting your eyes at all the street art via StreetARToronto .

For three days in the fall, Toronto’s jazz culture explodes in Kensington Market for the annual Kensington Jazz Festival , which brings in hundreds of musicians for a weekend of live performances and shows.

Explore Asian Heritage in Toronto

Toronto is a hotspot for asian culture. here’s where to dive into the diaspora, during asian heritage month and beyond..

One of the world’s most multicultural cities, Toronto has an immigrant population of nearly 47%—56% of whom are from Asia. 

With sizeable Chinese, Indian and Filipino Canadian communities, the 6ix is also home to significant numbers of Korean, Japanese and Tibetan Torontonians. Given our numbers, the Asian influence is all over town. Here’s where to find it.

Delve into downtown Chinatown

Toronto is notable for its multiple Chinatowns, but its most iconic is downtown Chinatown , located along Spadina Avenue, between College and Dundas Streets. 

It’s one of North America’s largest—and also one of its most photogenic, thanks to its vibrant storefronts, colourful vendor displays and streetcars. Whether you’re looking for Cantonese lobster, Sichuan mapo doufu, Hakka salt-baked chicken or Taiwanese bubble tea, you’ll find it here.

Must-dos in Chinatown downtown:

Check out the classic vinyl at Sonic Boom (Onra’s Chinoiseries, with its Chinese-pop-meets-hip-hop beats, would be a great choice) 

Hit up Bau-Xi Gallery for contemporary art

Gorge on AYCE hot pot at Chine Hot Pot & BBQ

Wander around East Chinatown

The east end’s up-and-coming Gerrard Street strip is home to Toronto’s other readily accessible Chinatown. 

While smaller than downtown Chinatown, this Riverdale enclave offers great walking, a strong restaurant game (particularly BBQ), lots of bakery and bubble tea options and plenty of photo ops. A diverse neighbourhood, it’s stocked with as many Vietnamese shops and restaurants as Chinese. 

Must-dos in East Chinatown:

Grab a bag of red bean-filled sesame balls at Phoenix Bakery to nosh on while you snap photos of East Chinatown’s unique paifang (Chinese archway) 

Sit down to a meal of Cantonese-style BBQ, including epic char siu pork at Supreme Taste

Discover Little India’s street scene

Further east along Gerrard is Little India , home to chaat houses serving Indian street food, tandoor-oven restaurants and an array of shops and services geared at Toronto’s South Asian community. 

Also known as Gerrard India Bazaar, this neighbourhood is rich in Indian, Pakistani, Bengali, Nepali and Sri Lankan influences. Dynamic festivals make it a must-see, particularly during Diwali , the festival of lights. 

Must-dos in Little India:

Join the party at summer’s Festival of South Asia (July 20 & 21, 2024), one of North America’s largest South Asian street festivals

Splurge on stunning gold jewelry for your wedding or just because

Feast on beef ribs or lamb chops served on sizzling-hot tawa iron skillets at neighbourhood landmark  Lahore Tikka House

Discover Filipino cuisine in Little Manila

Head uptown to the Bathurst Street and Wilson Avenue area and you’ll find Little Manila, home to the city’s highest concentration of Filipino homes and businesses. 

Located in multicultural North York , the neighbourhood hosts the annual Taste of Manila festival (August 16–18, 2024), the world’s biggest Filipino cultural festival outside of the actual Philipines. Food is a big deal here for visitors and locals alike, so bring your appetite.

Must-dos in Little Manila:

Eat up at Kabalen Restaurant , home to a kamayan feast where you can graze on delicacies like BBQ pork skewers and grilled seafood served with rice on a bed of banana leaves 

Judge who serves up the more delectable fried chicken, mega-chain Jollibee or the indie Jollytops  

Save room for Filipino-inspired donuts at FK Dulce Bakery (while you’re there, snag a bag of seasoning so you can recreate their famous flavoured French fries at home)

Eat—and sing—your heart out in Koreatown

Conveniently situated on Bloor Street West between Christie and Bathurst subway stations, Koreatown is compact and easy to stroll. 

It’s adjacent to the University of Toronto-centric Annex neighbourhood, giving it a youthful energy, complete with trendy Asian dessert cafes , cool K beauty shops and salons, and squad-ready karaoke bars and escape rooms .

Must-dos in Koreatown:

Feed your Seoul with savoury bulgogi and galbi at Korean Village

Buy locally crafted Bisou teas from the exquisite stationery boutique Hanji Gifts  

Belt out your fave hits in a private room at Echo Karaoke or The K Karaoke

Snack and shop in Little Tokyo

Little Tokyo is a small commercial enclave of Japanese shops and restaurants in Toronto’s original Chinatown at Dundas West and Bay Streets (which moved west to the nexus of Dundas and Spadina Avenues in the 1970s). 

While you’ll have to head uptown for the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre ’s annual Toronto Japanese Film Festival (June 6 – 20, 2024) and J Town’ s curated food and J beauty boutiques, Little Tokyo offers a satisfying selection for ramen, matcha and Muji fans.

Must-dos in Little Tokyo:

Yuki hayashi.

Writer/editor Yuki Hayashi ’s fave Toronto experiences centre around eating and outdoor fun. “I love to carb load on sushi, bibimbap, noodles or pasta in Koreatown, Chinatown or along Queen Street West. I’m also an avid lake swimmer and enjoy taking my dog to the leash-free areas at Cherry Beach and High Park,” she says. Secret Toronto spot: “Omusubi Bar Suzume at Market 707, for home-style Japanese comfort food.”

Yesterday, Illuminarium Toronto , an attraction which opened in the Distillery District in August 2023, hosted an event to preview  LITE-BRITE: Worlds of Wonder , a new show set to debut tomorrow, May 8th. Created by Secret Location in partnership with Hasbro, Inc., the collaboration brings together a creative studio and a renowned toy company, aiming to rekindle childlike joy and creativity through a 60-minute immersive experience stemming from the simple pleasure of the classic Lite-Brite toy. This glowing spectacle is transforming 13,500 ft² at 28 Gristmill Lane that previously was home to the Fermenting Cellar event venue. The Distillery District’s Victorian industrial architecture and vibrant arts scene make it an ideal location for the nostalgia-fuelled experience.

The host introducing the immersive experience, image by Anthony Teles

Illuminarium Experiences, an immersive entertainment company, with venues in Las Vegas and Atlanta as well as the Toronto location, offers sensory experiences that blend high-tech 4K laser projection, haptic feedback, and interactive elements to envelop visitors in cinematic environments. Their reprogrammable theatres allow for diverse content from a variety of creators. Toronto's venue features another ongoing show, SPACE: A Journey to the Moon & Beyond , which takes guests on an interstellar journey using imagery from the James Webb Telescope. Along with the ongoing shows, several special and seasonal events are coming soon, including concerts for Pride Month.

Once inside, Worlds of Wonder begins in a smaller room where the host welcomes guests before a talking Lite-Brite sets the stage, invoking a time "before HD screens or the Internet," where imagination was the only requirement for creativity.

Visitors then step into a larger room, where the walls are lined with large, segmented panels, each serving as a dynamic screen that hosts the vivid, pixelated animations integral to the experience. Behind the scenes, there are speakers embedded within the walls and the ceiling, and a duo of computers operates in concert behind each panel — one driving the interactive elements that respond to guest movements, the other managing the continuous flow of video content.

The Dino World portion of the experience, image by Anthony Teles

This main room is framed by high ceilings and rugged exposed ductwork, with circular seating arrangements and rectilinear glass or mirror pillars that reflect and refract the room's vibrant lights.

The narrative plays out with visual stories through the elegant dance of light and shadow across three thematic worlds: Ocean World, Dino World, and Future World. The space comes alive underfoot with interactive floors that respond to every step, creating a dynamic and interactive narrative.

Eventually, the visual story culminates with the three worlds combining, akin to a child’s storytelling. This leads to a series of interactive games – one has participants stop spinning images on a digital display with a floor button, combining different elements into whimsical new forms. Another invites guests to defend a city of lights by stepping on luminous tiles, while another lets them design alien spaceships via their smartphone, which then joins a floating armada on the walls.

Beyond the realms of play aimed at younger family members, the venue caters to a more grown-up audience as well, with a chic refreshment area that lights up like a Lite-Brite board itself, providing a fun backdrop for social gatherings or corporate events.

After the experience, visitors can play with a giant Lite-Brite board with large pegs. Adjacent tables arrayed with classic Lite-Brites offer younger guests a chance to create their own luminous designs. There is also a small retail shop, including the classic toy, as well as a photo opportunity to capture a moment of their journey with a Lite-Brite photo print — a pixelated piece of personal art.

"LITE-BRITE: Worlds of Wonder" offers various ticket packages, including options for adults, youth, and seniors. With its nostalgic charm and innovative use of technology, this new immersive experience will add a significant new attraction to the Distillery District, inviting visitors to explore the space and their imaginations.
