Incredible little bakery owned by Bryn, who moved back from Montreal to open this bakery. Incredible red fife loafs, coffee, and if you go one Wednesdays, the best bagels ever. Try it on Friday evenings for their wood-fired pizza nights.

One of the best date night spots. Alla Famiglia style Italian dining in a cute little prairie homestead vibe restaurant. Excellent service and incredible ingredients. I recommend posting up at the pasta bar to interact with chefs and watch your edible masterpieces being created. Reservations required, and note that this place can be quite pricey.

Great little neighbourhood pub in the middle of downtown. In addition to the great sandwiches, soups, and beer selection, what you really wanna go here for is one of their weekly trivia night. A blast if you're traveling with a group!

Hard to beat the vibes in this little martini bar. You'll find it at the end of 2nd avenue, and depending on the night you go, they'll be hosting an art show, having a hipster karaoke night, or just showing silent movies on the wall and focusing on the drinks. Great little space with a good crowd if you're after a cocktail.

Parks & Nature
Beautiful park that runs along the river. Prime for playing frisbee, setting up a hammock, having a picnic, or if it's winter, skating at one of the most beautiful rinks in Canada (note: they've got free skate rentals for you!)
In summer, this park is used for tons of festivals like Pride Festival and Jazz Festival.

Arts & Culture
Canada's Modern Art Museum. This spectacular building houses an incredible collection of modern art, including the world's largest collection of Picasso's linocuts. It's brand new and was opened in October 2017. I'd highly recommend a tour through and a lunch at the gallery's restaurant SHIFT, which was opened by the famous Toronto restaurant group Oliver and Bonacini.
