LionTamer!!!!! Read because your PM box was full!!!

Sorry, but your PM box was full and I wanted to make sure you go this. Thank god I didn't lose my PM.
Clean out your box!

Anyway, here's so info on Toronto for ya.

Don't worry about the non-greek question. I am happy to answer any questions about the "tdot"!
Toronto has a ton of great restuarants!!! There are so many to choose from whether you're just looking for pub grub or something ethnic.
A restuarant within walking distance I would recommend is the Bloor Street Diner. I actually haven't been there, but I hear the food is great. I will be going there for dinnr because we'r having our southern Ontario GC get together there. The Bloor Street Diner is at 55 Bloor Street west. That's Bay and Bloor.
There are also so Thai/Chinese (if you like that) restaurants on Yonge St. Just south of Bloor. There's The Green Mango (Thai). It's kind of a chain but the food is good. And There's Spring Rolls. I haven't been there either but it's been recomended to me by some. If you're looking for a burger and Fries type meal, Toby's on Yonge street (by The Condom Shack) make a great burger.
You might want to check out Toronto.com. It tells you all about the restuarants/nightlife.attractions, etc. It's all you need to know about T.O! (sorry for the Toronto plug ) On Toronto.com if you're looking for more restaurants search by neighbourhood and check out Bloor/Yorkville or U Toronto Annex. Those restaurants should all be with in walking distance.
Now for the touristy stuf, you might need to hop on the TTC. If you do this, I would suggest buying a day pass. It's $7.75, but it will give you unlimited TTC travel all day long. You can buy these at any TTC subway station. The closest subway stations to you would be Bay station (at Bloor and Bay) and the Yong/Bloor station and Yonge and Bloor.
The CN tower is definitly the Toronto thing to see. It's the world's tallest free standing structure! Check out the gladd floor on Top! It's a little pricey, but from the top you get a great view of the city. But I would suggets doing this only if the weather is good. If it's raining the view is not so nice. The Eaton Centre is another plce to go. It's just a mall really, but it's a tourist attraction also. The ROM (Royal Ontario Museum) is great too. I love going there by myself and just walking around. Right now there is an Egyptian display on from the British Museum. The Rom is at Bloor and Queens Park. It's in walking distance. But if you want to to take the subway take the subway to Museum station and it's right there. There's the AGO (Art Gallery of Ontario). It's at Dundas and McCaul streets. Not really in walking distance (you would have to use the TTC or cab to get there).
I really good go on and on about all the things to to in Toronto. There's so much. If you want more info, feel free to PM me, or email me at eaustin@uoguelph.ca.

I hope you enjoy your week in Toronto.

Emily
