Hello Toronto!

Just arrived in Toronto for a visit to the Yorkville neighborhood and the entertainment district courtesy of the Hazelton Hotel and the Soho Metropolitan. Flew in on Porter Airways.

Yorkville is a friendly brick-lined neighborhood where high-rise buildings rub shoulders with old fashioned houses,

There’s lots of great shopping here. We toured Holt Renfrew, which started in 1837 making fur hats for Queen Victoria and now has stores all over Canada,

We dined at the Hazelton’s restaurant, which is called One. The octopus was fantastic.
