10 Shopping in Toronto That You Shouldn't Miss

December 15, 2021 Darwin Bolte

We've heard Toronto described as "New York City run by the Swiss," and it's true—you can find world-class theater, shopping and restaurants here, but the sidewalks are clean and the people are friendly. The best place to start is literally at the top—the CN Tower, the tallest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere.

Norma Reed

Norma Reed is one of the longest-running dress stores in Toronto! Established in 1976 the high fashion boutique has been in operation for 42 years making it one of Canada's oldest fashion institutions. With thousands of dresses on display inspired by current fashions from Paris to L.A., the company welcomes visitors to come in to browse the current trends in the world of couture. Norma Reed often supports local Toronto fashion designers, filmmakers, pageants, artists and independent fashion shows with pieces for their art. In fact,​​ dozens of Canadian pageant contestants have won their crowns wearing a dress from Norma Reed! Norma Reed has also become known as THE place to go for generations by thousands of high school students when looking for Graduation and Prom Dresses in Toronto.

St. Lawrence Market

All roads to good food lead to St. Lawrence Market, a city landmark more than two centuries old. Two hundred vendors sell everything from local mustard to fresh pasta, lobster to artisanal bread.

But I’ve been to many places all over the city, and seriously, this is one of the reasons I moved here. Local, friendly, fresh, TASTY, always something different to try, great antiques section, and well, amazing fresh food to prepare yourself, or “no time for that?” the already prepared food is scrumptious too! And, well, if your into “people watching”... this is definitely your place. Surrounding area is always bustling with charm, energy and great food. So really, why not check it out?

Bau-Xi Gallery

Bau-Xi Gallery is one of Canada's most established galleries representing artists from across Canada. Established in 1965, we operate three gallery spaces in Toronto and Vancouver. In Toronto, the galleries are located across the street from the Art Gallery of Ontario and in Vancouver on South Granville gallery row.

Bau-Xi Galleries has two locations a couple doors apart, both directly across from the Art Gallery of Ontario on Dundas Street West. I loved both galleries. They have an exhibit of Eric Louie, who does really interesting, rather metallic looking paintings in their Contemporary Art Gallery, and then in their Photography Gallery they are showing featuring some wonderful works by George Byrne, which look like they were shot somewhere bright and hot (Miami? Vegas?).

Ryerson Image Centre

Reviewed By barbarae623 - Toronto, Canada

On a recent return trip I was as delighted as always by the quality of the show. Ryerson is the home of the Black Star Collection, with it's 292,000 images as well as other important archives so they have a wealth of material from which they can mount fascinating and historic shows. The current show in the main gallery features Gordon Parks, whose photo essay about poverty in Brazil was published in Life Magazine in 1961. The Centre is well worth a visit anytime.
