This year's Nuit Blanche in Toronto was truly a feast for the senses. From the spectacular light displays at city hall to the jam-packed streets, the city was just buzzing with energy on October 1st. The warm fall air added to the excitement of it all, and people roamed the city until first light broke.

Here are 50 photos that capture the spirit of the 11th Nuit Blanche in Toronto.

The best stores for eyeglasses in Toronto will have you seeing crystal clear when you walk out of their doors. But which one holds the perfect pair for your face? Fortunately, the city's selection of optical shops has gotten better and better over the last few years, such that we now enjoy an array choices when it comes to style and price point.

Here are the best stores for eyeglasses in Toronto.

For 2016, Nuit Blanche lost Scotiabank as its title sponsor. In the weeks leading up to the all-night event, many started questioning what it be like this year. While it was a bit smaller than usual -- there were 90 exhibits as opposed to 110 in 2015 -- the crowds were just as robust as in years past, and there was genuine awe over the spectacle at City Hall.

The sheer number of video installations got a little repetitive after a while, but there were many positives to take away from this year's event, not the least of which was that Nuit Blanche seemed as vibrant as it celebrated its 11th year.

Here are our highlights and lowlights from Nuit Blanche 2016.

BEST

The weather
Sure, this might seem like a dubious point to put under the best category, but I think many of us were expecting a cold and rainy night. Luckily, the weather held up (for the most part) and it wasn't as cool out as previous years.

Nathan Phillips Square
Usually, Nathan Phillips Square is a nightmare during Nuit Blanche. This year, however, it was the place to be. Despite some graffiti on the Toronto sign, Director X's Death of the Sun popped up all over Instagram, but Floria Sigismondi's Pneuma (which animated the square's reflect pool) was the real star of the show.

Installations by the water
The Harbourfront might have been the least crowded part of the city (at least at some points last night). Thanks to the fog, it seemed especially dreamy down by the lake, especially since many of the installations focused on water and the sky.

Installations at the Aga Khan
Nuit Blanche really needs to embrace more of the city if it hopes to stay relevant for the long haul. A good start was programming at the Aga Khan this year. The Sparks exhibit looked gorgeous beside the stunning architecture of the building, and the interest in the cluster of installations bodes well for those who think Scarborough could play host to an exhibit hub next year.

Roaming dance parties/drum circles
Nothing livened the streets more than the roaming dance parties and drum circles that randomly formed on downtown streets thanks to unofficial Nuit Blanche programming. It seemed this groups were given more freedom this year.

Fallen Water, Niagara Escarpment
A few individual exhibits are worth some extra attention in the "best" category. Kevin Cooley's tower of televisions screens in Brookfield Place somehow did totally manage to convey the power of water pouring over the Niagara Escarpment right down to the thunderous noise.

Literature vs. Traffic
What better way to described this than as a river of illuminated books? Some Nuit Blanche exhibits that use the street as a canvas fall short because they eliminate an interactive element, but the scale of Luzinterruptus's installation was so grand that everyone just looked on in awe.

Residential School Memorial
With all the partying and fooling around that defines Nuit Blanche, it was arresting to see this installation at St. Joseph's College School, which used 139 talking sticks to represent the history of Residential Schools in Canada. This was a calm that surround this exhibit absents elsewhere in the city.

WORST

Queen Street
Usually, I'm a big fan of car-free streets. However, Queen Street West was closed down, yet didn't really feature much art. From about University to Spadina, it was packed with drunken crowds wandering aimlessly about. There were moments of excitement, but it would have been better with installations running along the entire stretch.

Vandalism on the Toronto sign
Nathan Phillips Square was a remarkable place during Nuit Blanche, but the goofs that decided to write inane messages on the Toronto sign brought the good vibes down a notch with their lack of respect. Stuff like this gives Nuit Blanche a bad name.

Pockets of boredom along John St.
This was, perhaps, an uneven Nuit Blanche. While there were intriguing exhibits across the city, pockets of somewhat predictable video installation on King West and the Entertainment District didn't hold up against the excitement at City Hall and the Financial District.

Is this really an all night event?
As has happened in year's past, Nuit Blanche doesn't tend to live quite up to its name. As of 4 a.m., the art-watching crowds had been replaced with people chowing down on street eats and heading home (anyone else notice how many conventional cabs were available?). It would be cool if more people made the push to see exhibits past the hour that the bars let out.

When it comes to Italian sandwiches, it's best to keep it in the family. At this humble spot that's little more than a lunch counter, they've been serving sandwiches just like Nonna used to make for over fifty years.

You'd never know that this $6.5 million warehouse-style house was located a stone's throw away from Bloor and Dovercourt, hidden as it is in an unremarkable laneway behind a dull grey facade. Once inside, however, you're confronted with a space that looks more like a contemporary art gallery than a living space.

That will surely divide people's opinions on 1 Roof Garden Lane. Some will think of it as a stunning open concept space, while others will deem it cold and sparse. In any case, the home is certainly intriguing, highlighted by the industrial aesthetic and the way in which the second floor wraps around the perimeter of the space.

This a house made for art and design lovers, and any buyer will need to put a lot of valuable items into to make it function the way that it's been designed. The idea isn't to cram things in, but to showcase each one given the sheer amount of space on offer. Given this focus and the lack of bedrooms, it's not exactly what you'd call family friendly.

SPECS

• Address: 1 Roof Garden Lane
• Price: $6,495,000
• Lot Size: 50 x 80.25 feet
• Bedrooms: 2
• Bathrooms: 3
• Parking: 3
• Taxes: $13,371
• Walk Score: 96
• Listing agent: Ryan Wood and D. Kathie Wood
• Listing ID: W3608006

NOTABLE FEATURES

• Rooftop patio
• Skylights everywhere
• Wine cellar
• Sub Zero / Miele / Viking appliances
• Indoor three car garage

GOOD FOR

Hyper rich art collectors, claustrophobics, or anyone who has ever dreamed of installing an indoor basketball court in their house.

MOVE ON IF

You want a conventional home. This isn't that. There's little by way of partitioned rooms, no yard, and walking from one end to the other of the ground floor is a mini-workout.

If you consider yourself a true Torontonian, you know this place provides some of the most epic late-night lineup/morning after hangover food in the city. They only do one thing, and it's pretty obvious what it is: the Canadian classic poutine. They do it right, made by hand in this casual environment where the dance music is bumpin' all day, and now they're doing it in two great locations.

Spicy Ethiopian is now doing what no one else in Toronto has dared to: bring Ethiopian food into a truck format. You'd think that with the emphasis on eating with your hands, messiness, and all the gloopy spicy stews of lentils and meats that this type of cuisine is best left to tabletop dining in the privacy of a restaurant. Well, you'd be wrong.

Owner Lily Belete runs the truck, and used to work in film for a lot of production companies doing craft services. She says the pay was good but the hours were long, and making the same tired snacks over and over was boring.

While in craft services she started dreaming up ways to serve some of her more traditional Ethiopian dishes to workers, and the response was enthusiastic.

Although she has engineered a way to get injera into her food truck meals, she realizes that not everyone is familiar with this product or enjoys it (yet). Hence the tibs sandwich ($7): this one was made with beef, and it's served on a roll for a little more accessibility and dining ease.

With tibs dinners ($10) you have an option of rice, bread, tortilla, or injera.

However, I must personally say you'd be a fool not to order the injera. If you're not familiar, it's a spongy, slightly sour bread perfect for soaking up spicy stews. It packs the largest section of this vegan platter ($10), a sample of all vegan options: simmered ground chickpea, stewed split peas, lentils, beetroot and potatoes, and fresh sauteed spinach.

Belete has rolled up the injera into cylinders so you're free to enjoy it the traditional way, scooping up food with it, or it's easy to cut with a knife and fork back at the office. It's great to be able to get a delicious vegan option for lunch on the street downtown, and something not terribly unhealthy at that. They also serve juices like "abish" ($4), a fenugreek drink that's apparently good for your heart.

Last night marked night one of Adele's sold out four-day ACC takeover. In true Adele fashion, she brought the house down with her unreal sounds - I mean that woman can really sing. From belting out Hello to serenading the crowd with Don't You Remember, it was one spectacular evening and lucky for Toronto we have three more nights to enjoy.

If you missed out on this unreal concert, here's Adele in Toronto as seen on Instagram.

Women already get paid less than men, so it totally makes sense for them to pay more for a cup of coffee, right? One Toronto cafe thinks so.

In a hilariously awkward video, Toronto's Tokyo Smoke coffee shop changes their prices for a day so that men pay less for coffee.

Watching customers reactions slowly come to a boiling point over the course of the video is highly entertaining, but it's the point behind the clip that's the most eyebrow raising.

They're talking about "The Pink Tax," which is the fact that women often pay more than men for the same products, goods and services in Canada. The video is part of a campaign called #FightPinktax to not only bring awareness to this frustrating fact, but to fight against in.

The wage gap is still very much an issue here, and this video helps prove that in a clever way. More info can be found on the official website, as well as a petition and ways to take action.

Nuit Blanche might seem like a distant memory already, particularly for those who've spent the last 48 hours recovering from the all-night affair, but if you've seen all the stunning photos from this year's event and are sad that you you chose to stay home, there's still hope!

This year's most popular exhibitions are still on display. Director X's Death of the Sun, Floria Sigismondi's mesmerizing Pneuma, and Philip Beesley's Ocean will remain at City Hall until October 10. There hasn't been much attention given to this extended programming, which is down from year's past, but it's actually an amazing chance to see the work without the massive crowds of the big night.

Yesterday evening, for instance, a crowd of about 100 people took in the theatrics around Nathan Phillips Square. It was a cinch to get perfect viewing angles and to zone out and take it all in. Meanwhile, it was easy to sneak a peek at Beesley's underwater transformation of the City Hall Rotunda (it's open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.).

The scene will be markedly different tonight with Jays fans expected all over the Square, but the installations light up at 7 p.m., so there's extra incentive to get there well before the game (which starts at 8 p.m.). And if crowds aren't you're thing, you can always head down to NPS when the Jays aren't playing.

The Toronto Blue Jays have advanced to face the Texas Rangers after a thrilling 11 inning walk-off win against the Baltimore Orioles in the winner-take-all American League Wild Card Game.

A video posted by @z_qutie on Oct 4, 2016 at 8:40pm PDT

Edwin Encarnacion provided the heroics with the three run homer and Roberto Osuna and Francisco Liriano were stellar in relief. Throughout the game Toronto fans took to Twitter to follow along with the big game. Here's a round-up of how Toronto reacted to the Blue Jays' win.

The owner of one of Toronto's longest-standing craft beer houses has begun a new venture in a similar vein with laid-back appeal and a cottagey vibe, not to mention a great patio. The farthest beer they pour is from Montreal, and they do elevated comfort food and snacks like grilled calamari and house-made sausage with easy flair.

If you want Toronto's best veal sandwich there's one name at the top of most people's list. While it now has 13 locations around the city, it's this original location near Little Italy that started it all.

One of the city's best and biggest dessert markets is expanding this month, and our sweet tooth couldn't be happier. The Toronto Bakers Market, which regularly happens on the east side is launching its first west end market this month, and it's not your traditional church basement, nona-style bake sale.

It's a bit younger, more innovative, and aims to shine a spotlight on new and popular local vendors. It all goes down on Sunday October 16 at the Great Hall.

You'll find treats such as baked bread and cookies, savoury empanadas, custom cakes and macarons, ice cream, gluten-free/guilt-free treats, donuts and a lot more from vendors like Golden Crumb Cookies, All Mine Caramel, Dessertique, Mnandi Pies, Cakelaine and loads more.

The market runs from 11a.m. to 4p.m. and is their first venture into the west. Perfect timing for hibernation season snacks. If you miss the west side event, you can head to the one in the east on October 30 at the Ralph Thornton Centre (765 Queen St. East).

World Press Photo is back in Toronto for another year, bringing some of the best photojournalism in the world to Allen Lambert Galleria at Brookfield Place. The local stop is part of a 45 country tour that sees the photographs displayed in over 80 cites. I doubt, however, that many of the venues along the way serves as quite so good a backdrop for the exhibition.

There's something almost restorative about watching so many people stop and become enthralled by these photos. For may who are out and about on lunch in the Financial District, the exhibit is startling in its beauty and scenes of devastation. You always get more than you bargained for when you stop to take a look.

One of the reasons for this is the range of the photos on display. There's hard photojournalism from war torn countries, there's gorgeous sports photography, and even nature images that'd serve as excellent candidates for the cover of National Geographic. In short, it's one of the best photography shows of the year, and it's completely free.

World Press Photo runs until October 25, 2016.

Did you see it? A huge fireball streaked across Toronto last night. While the celestial event eerily corresponded to Edwin Encarnacion's walk-off home run in the 11th inning of the Jays wildcard game, it was bright enough to cause real concern on the part of some people who observed it.

According to a report from the American Meteor Society (AMS), "Toronto police and fire services received multiple calls about a 'plane crashing into the Toronto Harbour,' but luckily it was just a fireball in the night sky." There were over 280 official sightings of the fireball to the AMS, and many more to local authorities.

Based on the eyewitness reports, the track of the meteor has been placed in Western New York, but the majority of sightings came from Ontario. The University of Toronto's Scarborough Observatory caught the fireball as part of timelapse coverage that shows it erupting in the southern sky.

The meteor was likely part of the cosmic debris formed by Halley's Comet, which crashes into Earth each October.
