Scarborough Bluffs
Scarborough Bluffs, Cliffside
High above Lake Ontario, about a forty-minute drive northeast of central Toronto, the Scarborough Bluffs make for an ideal outdoorsy day trip from the city in nice weather. The nine-mile-long stretch of glacial cliffs contain several parks for hiking, biking, or picnicking on a grassy lawn overlooking the water. Our favorite park, Bluffers, has direct access to the lake with a long, wide, and beautiful beach. It can get crowded during the height of summer, which makes early fall and late spring the best times to visit. Image courtesy of todocanada.ca.
Kensington Market
Kensington Market
After undergoing a full hipster-inflected gentrification, this part of town is packed with some of the city's coolest bars, eateries, and shops. A maze of streets and alleyways is packed with brightly hued Victorian-era houses and standouts including April Bloomfield's Blackbird Bakery and Oddity Kombucha.
