[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree w/ Queen St West. Eat at Persian restaurants.  Bloor & Younge shopping mall.  Check out University of Toronto. I liked the horse racetrack - the people were dressed up - ladies in wide-brimmed hats and everything!  Rent bikes and ride along the lake path   - unforgettable. Basically, go where the locals go.
Skip the CN Tower and the museums - every major city has musems.
If you can change plans - Montreal is much more quirky and interesting.  Ottawa's architecture is also very unique.[/quote]

You're recommending a mall over museums? Yikes. [/quote]

The OP said "a couple of days".  So that's 2-3 days tops.  So part of this is how to maximize the time and still feel like you got a sense of Toronto.  Will You, smarty pants, get this if spend most of one or two days inside, indoors, in museums?  You think Toronto is "cool looking but curated artifacts in a museum?  Yikes for you!  
Now if the OP had a whole week, or there are some bad weather days, yea, sure, do some museums, galleries, whatever.  Your comment also shows your ignorance  since Younge & Bloor is not an actual mall - the way you'll find it in average American suburbs. [/quote]

Yonge and Bloor borders Yorkville to the east, a high end shopping area and nice examples of Victorian architecture nearby.
I wouldn’t make it a point to visit on its own if you are only in TO for a couple of days. It is nice to combine with ROM which is nearby.

If you’re looking for a neighbourhood to stroll around in, I think the Annex, is nicer. It’s near University of Toronto, has a lot of cafes and restos, it’s a residential area for many students and faculty with nice Victorian homes, so fairly lively.
