Hello T.O. Forumites:
Congratulations on the Argos win. I heard the game and the festivities leading up to it were great.
I am arriving Friday afternoon for a quick visit until Monday afternoon and have some questions.
1) I want to see the Tom Thomson exhibit at the McMichael. Can you suggest how much time to allow to get there by public transportation and to see the exhibit on either Saturday or Sunday? Since my time is limited, would I be better off catching a cab rather than waiting for a bus from the nearest train stations (the website is down so I can't name the stations)?
2) I love hopping on a street car and visiting a new part of the T.O. area on each visit. I visited Roncesvalles on my last trip and the Beaches and Leslieville previously. Can anyone suggest a new area to explore with some combination of interesting shops, restaurants, architecture, sites, etc?
3) I've heard there is a Naot shoe outlet in the T.O. area. I did a websearch and found the following: but can't verify if the outlet is still open. " It's at 142 Edilcan, which is just east off Jane St. between Langstaff and Rutherford (near Wonderland)." Can anyone provide any more specifics and if that address is correct, how to get there? I think Wonderland is far from downtown so it may not be worth the trip.
4) Are there any recommendations for seasonal activities during my visit? I subscribe to Toronto Life so I have some idea but there are always things that don't make it into the magazine. I enjoyed the Christmas Market last year.
5) Has anyone see Alligator Pie at Soulpepper and if yes, do you recommend the show?
Any other suggestions are welcome.
Thank you very much!
