Summer is only 20 days away!
The metbloggers got together once more and wanted to post about their favourite hot spots in the city, where they hang out and what they do to keep busy. Read on for more information.

Hi Toronto Blogstars,
I would have to say that my fave Toronto attractions would be:
Panorama Bar-Lounge-Patio
51st Floor, Manulife Centre, 55 Bloor St. W., Toronto, ON, 416.967.0000
On a clear night, you get beautiful views of the citylights. Very cool chill-spot to take your out-of-town guests.
Oh and Canada’s Wonderland (Note: I was there two weekends ago and had a fabulous time - Abbas)- because a girl can never outgrow roller coasters and funnel cake! Blogging is therapy!

My favourite hangout in Toronto is quite simple.
Queen Street West. Specifically from University to Spadina and back. I love to just take a leasurely stroll on a nice day any time of the year. To me, the soho area encompasses a mesh of different subculture.
It symbolizes, for me, a union of all walks of life. It’s definitely a hot spot for people-watching as well.

Well there quite a few great attractions but a few stand outs are:
1. PEDESTRIAN SUNDAYS in the Kensington Market!!! Hopefully that will be back this year. With Adrift and a great new Organic Ice Cream shop in there the market keeps me coming back.
2. Of course there are so many music festivals and some of the best are free. Check out the Harbourfront Centre all summer long. There’s always something great going on. Last year’s Electronic Music Festival and Vegetarian Food fare were amazing (even for non vegetarians and non Kraftwerk fans)(Note: If you listen to electronic music and don’t know who Kraftwerk is, SHAME ON YOU! - Abbas). LoL Tour de France is a really great album btw.
3. St. Lawrence Market - just go on another food market adventure (Note: I can never get enough of the market. Cheapest and best lunch you’ll ever have in Toronto - Abbas)
4. AGO / ROM - Even if you have been once before make an excuse to take a visitor along and rediscover your local museums. There are plenty of other low key spots to hit while your at it.

Probably the most favourite pasttime I have in Toronto during the summer is walking. It’s unbelievable how this city breathes and walking through the streets you get a feeling of being born again. Compared to the winter, this city just seems to sparkle during the summer and that feeling can only be experienced by walking through the different areas of it. Chinatown, Little India, Little Italy, Financial District, Union Station, Front St., Bloor St. W., Kew Beach, Yonge and Bloor to list a few area’s of mine to walk through. Observing people go about their own way is quite exhilarating and motivating.
I’ve always tried to sell Toronto to friends in the US and have tried to convince them to come over and they keep asking, well what is there to do there? The answer isn’t that simple since aside from the elevator ride up the CN Tower and a couple of galleries and museums, there really isn’t much to do. I think the key thing is that Toronto has ongoing festivals and events going on nearly every single weekend for the whole year round and only living here as a Toronto resident can one experience that. Coming in as a tourist for three days really isn’t going to allow visitors the full experience that is Toronto!
