The 10 Best Things to do in Kensington-Chinatown, Canada

September 2, 2021 Lashaunda Abraham

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.

Poetry Jazz Cafe

Reviewed By liquidkitty1 - Toronto, Canada

In the heart of Kensington you will find a mural with Miles Davis. The bar is EXTREMELY narrow with limited seats and once packed for the performance, very uncomfortable to stand as people are constantly moving. Make sure you arrive early! Show starts around 9:30 most nights. Just inside the door (which is open to the outside) is a small seating area with a small sofa and few chairs and ottoman and piano and, fortunately, a small fire. My friend and I elected to sit there and could still hear the concert just fine, and it was easier to have a conversation. It was warm enough for us. The cover was $15 and drinks are reasonable, staff friendly. Great place for a date, cozy and cool. I have visited this bar several times and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great local music experience.

This was our first time doing an escape room and this one was certainly very fun. Because we a fans of the TV show, it made it all the more engaging. The addition of two actors in the game also added a wonderful element to the experience. The puzzles were challenging and you definitely had to work as a team to see how all the clues fit. I really didn't think we were going to figure it out. With less than 2 minutes to go, we managed to solve the mystery and help Murdoch escape imminent death! At the end, the actors told us that less than 10% of the groups are able to solve the game so we felt really good about that! All in all, definitely well organized and highly recommended.
