Top 10 Things to do in High Park-Swansea, 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.

Gardens, a waterfall, walking trails, a cafe, a small zoo, a lake, fountains, off leash dog area, picnic spots, historic statues, cherry blossoms, amazing fall colours, tennis, a train tour and more. High Park in Toronto has it all. High Park is basically Toronto's Central Park. It's big, and acts as a big green oasis perfect for an afternoon escape. To minimize walking, I recommend you drive into the park and park your car near the cafe and go on foot from there. If you don't mind the walk, you can take the subway to High Park station on line 2. From there it is about a 15 minute walk into the centre of the park. Don't forget your camera.

3. The Local Pub

My wife and I went to The Local specifically to enjoy some live music. The stage was small and set at a slightly odd angle, not surprising as the space was not designed for a stage. Still, the music sounded great (that's the main thing!) and was at a volume that was loud enough but not unpleasant. The bartender was friendly and the atmosphere was quite pleasant, welcoming.

I remember visiting CB when I was a kid with my dad. He was my first foodie inspiration and cheese lover. Years later I am just a inspired as I was as a child. The service was fantastic! A greeting with a smile from every staff you encountered. The knowledge and explanation of every product was executed timely and professionally. A high standard of costumer service was the norm. Some things never change. The vast amount of beautiful products awakened my sleeping culinary memoirs. Some of the best if the best. I found high quality products from special vacations we had. A gorgeously cured sausage from France we had on a visit in Mach last year. I was ecstatic to find it. We picked up several other items and headed to to bakery, my husbands candy area. We purchased a cake and sadly had to leave. Honestly I could have spent the entire day enjoying so many wonderful finds. Yes and great pic of one of our mentors, and a second wonderful memory.
