Eh, I'd go Pancer's or Ben and Izzy's if you're looking for Jewish deli food even though both spots are North of the city.
Anyways, Anthony Bourdain did an episode of his show The Layover on Toronto and it's all on youtube(here's part 1 of 3 and I think it touches on a lot of the better things to do in the city food-wise. I would especially recommend the Black Hoof or Bar Isabela or Beast if you want a really good, local restaurant.

It's been a while since I saw it but I remember them spending more time in places like Kensington and King West than Queen but it definitely skewed hipster so they're probably mainly all over the West End.

Arn said:I think Niagara was a bit of a highlight. It was absolutely freezing and ice everywhere and looked incredible. Way better seeing it like that than in the summer sun I think!
Arn said:It'll probably be a couple of years before I come back again, but if/when I do I'd like to spend more time and maybe work up the east to Ottawa and Montreal or stop off in Toronto then hop across to Vancouver and make a few weeks out of it.
That's a good question actually. I wonder if centreville would still be open. I loved that place as a kid (on the island).Bullfrog said:My turn now. I'm heading to Toronto next month, around the 22nd to 26th or so. I have two business meetings and am getting reimbursed for two nights in a hotel and my flight, so I figured I'll extend it a couple of days and bring my wife and 5 year old boy. I've been to Toronto a bunch of times, but don't generally do much because I fly in for a meeting and immediately fly back home.
Anyway, we're on a very tight budget and would prefer to stay in Toronto and on public transport lines as much as possible. My son is absolutely obsessed with cars and diecast cars. Is there anything downtown that might satisfy that obsession? Like a diecast car store (hotwheels, Maisto, Jada, etc.) or an auto museum?
Also, any other suggestions for a five year old? They don't have to be car related. What about the science centre?

Science centre is a bit off from the subway line. Same with the Zoo iirc.
Maybe Eaton's Centre would be a cool experience. I'm sure there's a games and toys shop... But I'm going to have to defer to someone else who has kids to field this one.
