Casa Loma was built by Sir Henry Pellat for the Queen's Own Rifles. Interestingly it actually sits on the original shore line of Lake Ontario which runs along a road called Davenport. Don't miss the stables up the street also.

Try the Katsu Don. On the Menu it is called Pork Don. Or try the Soon Tofu Chi Gae or Pul Gogi. Really fun cool place Don't go after 10PM. Perhaps the best time to go is 4 PM and after weekdays.

The music is cool baby boomer aimed American tunes that rock the most near the front windows. After Krispy, I recommend going to Silverstein's Bakeryup the street for some Fresh bread. Just order the bread, pay cash whatever the baker tells you to pay for the bag of bread. Very fun. Krsipy Kreme is great for artistic inspiration.

You can look out the window north up the street to the Second Cup, the Marriott, Shopper's and watch people walking south down Yonge Street and wonder where they are going. the best time is as the sun is setting, you look west towards Fran's and the Police Museum. Fun for watching the latest fashions on their way to Winner's department store. This place has iconic people street scenes.

The Pilot has jazz Sundays and carries a lot of the history of Yonge Street on the photos on the wall. In addition, The pilot is simply the cool place to hang, either inside on one of the floors, or outside in the spring summer and fall on the patio.

We went to Cafe Diplomatico last night. So the restaurant was playing an Italian TV feed of the soccer game from Europe including Messi's team. So this was fantastic. Very special. The food was good, and the service was also good.

The coolest thing about the restaurant is the communal table that you can enjoy a cappucino and croissant at. The table is about 3-5 inches think. As thick as your hand. So you can see the grain on the table and it is varnished. Super cool. It just opened, so the owners are really trying. Way cool There is often cool music, so it is fun to hang out there. Cool tunes It is on Bay Street south of a new hospital, and many offices, so you get some professional people popping in. Cool networking opportunities If you arrived by bus or are departing by bus at the Bay Street Bus terminal, that cafe is just 3-4 minutes up the street. So you could chill out waiting for your bus there. Or
