Some beer stores are open until 10 or 11. The Beer Stores that close earlier usually have a handy dandy sign on the door telling you the location of the next closest beer store that is open later. Aren't we such nice folk?

One thing you should definately take advantage of while you're here is the shopping. We have some fantastic stores and a shirt that is 50 dollars here is only about 30 bux U.S. Shop like mad!!! I know I would. Just be warned that in Ontario you'll be charged a whopping 15% tax on everything you buy. (Yah, I know it's a lot, but we have great health care, so don't slam us!). It sounds like a lot, and it is. But you lucky Americans get the Goverment Sales Tax (which is 8% I believe) back when you go back over the border. Just make sure you keep your receipts and pick up a GST form.

Guess that's all the advice I have. Have a blast here. Toronto is a GREAT city .
