Top Things to do in The Annex
The 10 Best Things to do in The Annex, Canada
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.

One of the best places for high end shopping is Bloor Street. Major stores, such as Louis Vuitton, Tiffany and Co., Hermes, Cartier, and Prada to name a few you will find in this street. Excellent customer service, great shopping and hotels nearby, this is the place to be if you want to experience top notch service. It is in an open area, so be mindful of the weahter conditions that you might have to deal with during the winter.

This library might be one of the best in the Toronto Public Library system. It holds awesome events, including the Toronto Comic Arts Festival (TCAF), is the location of the Arthur Conan Doyle special collections (a must see for Sherlock Holmes fans), has hard working staff, and is visually stunning. Plus several film shoots and weddings have happened here!

Surprising how much you can learn about history in general by focusing on one item, in this case shoes. When I visited there was a Manolo Blahnik exhibit that was great fun to peruse. The other exhibits were: All About Shoes: Footwear Through the Ages – Semi-permanent - This is the CORE of the Museum, this is where you take the time to look, read, and think about EVERY display. The Gold Standard: Glittering Footwear From Around Globe and Art and Innovation: Traditional Arctic Footwear =- both of these were interesting and informative. Excellent reminder that small museums have a lot to offer! Plus I appreciate being able to see all of the exhibits, not leaving with a feeling that I've missed something. I see I'm going to have to choose 1-2 hours or 2-3 hours so I want to mention here that you CAN do this well in 2 hours, but you could also make it closer to three hours if you wanted to. Small but well curated gift shop.
