Toronto'sChill: A Digital Nomad's Messy Take on 5882873
so i just checked and it's...there right now, hope you like that kind of thing. 4.72 degrees, feels like a brisk 0.68, which is basically a polite way of saying 'bring a sweater or die trying'. the humidity's clinging like a bad first date at 88%, making the air thick enough to chew. pressure's sitting at 1007, sea level, which sounds fancy but doesn't change the fact you'll probably get caught in a drizzle. honestly, it's the kind of weather that makes you appreciate a good coffee shop with a fireplace more than ever. if you get bored, hamilton or niagara falls are just a short drive away, though honestly, toronto's got enough quirks to keep you busy for weeks. someone told me that the best poutine in the city is hidden in a basement near queen street, but i heard that from a guy who also swore the queen street subway station is haunted. i heard that the distillery district gets absolutely packed on weekends, like a human sardine can, so maybe hit it mid-week if you can. i heard that the st. lawrence market's fishmonger has a reputation for being...intense. like, 'watch your wallet' intense. but hey, that's part of the charm, right? i mean, who wants a boring market? check out the kensington market vibe too, it's a total sensory overload, like walking into a rainbow threw a thrift store. for a quick bite, try the 'dirty burger' place near the old city hall, but be warned, it's messy. really messy. and delicious. if you're into that kind of thing. for a proper sit-down, the 'bistro du vieux' on bloor street is supposed to be decent, though i heard the service can be...slow. like, 'we'll get to you when we get to you' slow. but the food's supposed to be good. maybe. i'm not sure. i'm just rambling now. anyway, here's a map to get you started:
check out the toronto travel guide on tripadvisor for some local tips, or yelp for the latest on that 'dirty burger' place. and if you're feeling adventurous, maybe try the 'ghost tour' thing downtown, though i heard the only real ghost is the one haunting your wallet after a night out. seriously, watch your wallet. but enjoy the chaos.
