Default What to do in Toronto Next Week

I am in Toronto (Markham) actually all next week for software training, I leave Sunday morning. What is there to do other than try not to freeze?

We have a rental car and warm cloths. I would like to try some of the ethnic food and visit a cool bar or something.

The Hockey Hall of Fame, get to see the original Stanley Cup and then go to Shoeless Joe's Restaurant.

Go to the top of the CN tower and check out the view. It's the worlds tallest building and has a glass floor. It's 1,815 feet 5 inches. If it's clear the view is awesome. Also if your a hockey fan try to get a tour of Maple Leaf Gardens. Also drive to Niagara Falls if you have time. Oh yea. It's COLD there!

Technically not a building, a tower.

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

Go to a Raptors game, they are playing the Lakers on Feb 1 (don't know if your still there). I always like to go to one of the plays they have going, Toronto has some amazing theater.

Yeah I was looking forward to some good Indian but the co-worker I'm going with doesn't like Indian. He is pretty adventurous, just doesn't like Indian. Pan-Asian (except Sushi) is perfect.

I vote for the Hockey Hall of Fame! You could spend HOURS in there.
