The most breathtaking views of Toronto delight passers-by, professional photographers and amateur Instagrammers with new ways to appreciate the city. Whether at dawn or dusk, these locations give us all a chance to marvel at the metropolis we call home.

Here are my picks for where to go for the most breathtaking views of Toronto.

Riverdale Park

Grab a hot beverage from Rooster Coffee House and enjoy it as you walk north up Broadview. It's what Daniel Radcliffe and Zoe Kazan did in the rom-com The F Word and it's the perfect way to admire the city as its skyscrapers loom just beyond the park.

Trillium Park

Ontario Place is now home to a stunning waterfront green space. One of the real standouts of the park is the amazing view of the Toronto skyline and water. Whether you're taking a stroll or going for a bike ride, you'll find yourself stopping and admiring the surroundings.

Kensington Market parking garage

It doesn't look like much from street level, but climb to the top of this parking garage on St. Andrew St. at dusk and you'll be treated with one of the best views of Toronto you'll ever witness. Unlike lakeside vantage points, this view shows off Toronto's dense urbanity.

Humber Bay

This picturesque spot in the city's west-end is a favourite of cyclers, joggers and photographers. You can view the skyline from the area's iconic arch bridge, or venture into Humber Bay Park before dawn to watch the sun rise over the city.

During the day or at night, Chester Hill Lookout is always looking picture ready. Photo by Bruce Reeve.

Chester Hill Lookout

Chester Hill Lookout might be one of the best makeout spots in the city, due in part because it offers stunning views of downtown, the Don Valley and the Bloor Viaduct. You won't find a perspective in which the city looks more lush than this one.

Bathurst St. Bridge

This bridge offers a unique view of the downtown core. When walking or jogging along the bridge, it's always tempting to take a photo of the CN Tower and Rogers Centre, which appear as if they're right beside you. If you tire of the skyscrapers, turn your head to admire Fort York.

Polson Pier

A visit to the Port Lands, and Cabana Pool Bar, is never complete without snapping a shot of Toronto's skyline. However, if the thought of spending $20 (or more) to lie by a pool gives you the chills, you can experience similarly spectacular views from all over Polson Pier.

The One Eighty

Located on the 51st floor of the Manulife Centre, this pricey patio in Yorkville offers 180 degree views of the city. Head here if you're itching to sip luxurious cocktails and munch on cornish hen or beef carpaccio way up in the sky.

The CN Tower now has a panoramic lookout. Photo by Matt Forsythe.

CN Tower

What list of Toronto viewpoints would be complete without the CN Tower? A trip up will cost you, but you'll be rewarded with panoramic views of the GTA and beyond. You can always combine your visit with a meal at 360 or try the Edgewalk if you're feeling daring.

Porter Plane

Other than the lounge and unlimited in-flight drinks, the best part of flying Porter is the view you're privy to upon take-off and landing. As you soar above Toronto, you get to see the city from an entirely new vantage point. There's nothing quite as grounding as that.

I'm huddling inside Main Street station waiting for a Carlton streetcar when the sound of violins wafts up from the subway. Unless there's a full orchestra busking down there, it's a recording. And then I realize it's playing over the station's internal speakers. But why?

The answer is nefarious youths. In 1998, a community safety audit conducted after a fatal stabbing at Kennedy station suggested piping in Bach, Sibelius, Schumann, and others would repel gangs. New lights, CCTV, and additional security patrols were also ordered.

7-Eleven convenience stores and Vancouver's SkyTrain had used the same musical tactic with mixed results. The thinking, according to the Toronto Star when the Kennedy pilot project began, was that youths would rather move than listen to "highbrow" music. Some kids in B.C. just shouted over the classics.

The London Underground also uses orchestral music for the same reason in some of its stations.

According to TTC spokesman Brad Ross, the idea has since been expanded over the last 16 years to Warden, Victoria Park, Main Street, Bathurst, Dundas West, Runnymede, Finch, and Greenwood stations, stops close to high schools or colleges.

Classical music, in fact any music the listener finds repellant, suppresses dopamine production in the brain, "souring their mood and making them avoid the music," according to a Seattle Times story on the concept.

The music isn't coming from an internal DJ, says the TTC's Danny Nicholson. A company called Stingray360 in Montreal that specializes in "sensorial marketing solutions" provides the music feed and covers the licensing requirements for about $14,500 a year.

"A lot of dentists pay for it," he says. "If you're in a dentist's office you often hear recorded music that comes from the same sort of thing."

Boozy slushies in Toronto are the ultimate summertime drink. These frozen beverages are exactly what you want to be sipping on during the warmest months of the year, especially when they come in colourful (and flavourful!) varieties at spots all around the city.

Here are my picks for the top places to get boozy slushies in Toronto.

Si Lom

Buckets full of boozy slushies are the specialty at this Thai restaurant on Church Street. The most outrageous one is the Jolly Bear & Friend Kamikaze, which is bright blue and comes topped with gummies.

Cactus Club Cafe

Find frosé, also known as frozen rosé, on the menu at this Financial District hub. Sit on the patio and gulp down the pink stuff all season long.

Madame Boeuf

Go for the lawn games and stay for the frosé at this casual outdoor restaurant behind the fancier French bistro Bar Begonia on Dupont Street.

A post shared by Chantalle (@chantalleelizabeth) on Jun 11, 2017 at 4:34pm PDT

Rhum Corner

This Haitian spot in Dundas West has lots of cocktails to choose from, including two boozy slushies on its menu - a pina colada and a corn 'n oil - that'll go down a bit too easily. 

A post shared by Marisa Tran (@risatran) on Jun 27, 2017 at 3:50pm PDT

Momofuku

There are two types of slushies to choose from at this popular spot, including strawberry sangria. These drinks are popular menu choices and they'll help you cool down while slurping back ramen.

Toronto can be a confusing place for visitors, thanks to our strict liquor laws, a sometimes bewildering set of transit rules, and, among its denizens, a puzzling and intense affection for weekend brunch. 

With that  in mind, welcome to Toronto, dear guests. Here are a few things you should know.

We love craft beer & local wine, but the LCBO thinks it's 1927

The LCBO's opening hours are designed to catch you out, or so it seems. Only a limited number of grocery stores carry booze and The Beer Store has a definite article for a reason. Although most independent bottle shops - and even the Wine Rack - stay open until 11 p.m.

Toronto exported so much peameal bacon it earned a nickname

Hogtown used to be a pejorative term other cities levied at Toronto, mainly because of the excess amount of resources and attention the city commanded in the late 1800s. The name became a term of endearment when the William Davies Company made peameal bacon an international delicacy.

Construction plagues Toronto during the summer. Photo by Marcanadian.

Everything is under construction

Sometimes moving around than city feels something like taking a tour of a live-in construction site. No-one remembers the last time the streetcar and bus lines were completely free of diversions.

The CN Tower is the best compass

Travel writer Bill Bryson was talking about the Sydney Harbour Bridge when he wrote: "you can see it from every corner of the city, creeping into frame from the oddest angles, like an uncle who wants to get into every snapshot," but the observation is also be true of Toronto's most famous landmark.

It's pronounced "Young"

But everyone has their own way of pronouncing Roncesvalles. Stick with Roncey to sound like a local.

We stole poutine from Quebec and we're not sorry

Fries, gravy and melty cheese curds are ours now, too. We do it quite well.

Cars won't stop at pedestrian crossings unless you hit the button

Some signs tell you to point, but it's really not necessary if everyone has already stopped.

No-one is safe from the dreaded short turn

The TTC says short turns - the practice of kicking everyone off the bus, streetcar or subway train so the driver can turn around - are a necessary evil, a way of benefiting many by inconveniencing a few, but that's scant consolation.

Main Street station isn't downtown and Royal York isn't near the hotel

Painful and sometimes costly mistakes to make.

Make sure you grab a transfer

You can board TTC streetcars from any door, but if you don't have a metropass - or tap your Presto card - make sure you pay and take a transfer to avoid a hefty fine.

Nudity is strictly limited to the Hanlan's Point Beach

Those clothes had better be back on by the time you step off the sand. City council spent several months in the early 2000s wringing its collective hands over the consequences of allowing too much skin at Hanlan's Point. 

But the city has other, excellent places to catch a tan

The Beaches neighbourhood has spectacular sand that would be worthy of a city with a more fortunate ocean-side position. And let's not forget the city's other beaches too.

Raccoons rule the city after dark

This city is home to anywhere between 100,000 and 200,000 raccoons, depending on the source. After dark, Toronto becomes Raccoon City, a giant playground for dexterous critters to forage, fight, and err... procreate.

No, you can't afford to see the Toronto Maple Leafs

Things have been disappointing around Maple Leaf Gardens and the Air Canada Centre the last 50 years or so anyway. Blue Jays tickets, however, are much cheaper and they've won a championship in the last 30 years.

We're sensitive - tell us we're the best

No world class city spends more time worrying about what other people thinkas much as Toronto. Even though we seem to have made it, we're self-conscious about our status. Please, be nice to us.

Stores opening soon in Toronto include famous fashion retailers and popular food outlets. It's not quite time to go back to school shopping yet, but if you're already thinking about what to eat and wear next season and next year, the time to get excited is now.

Here are five new stores opening soon in Toronto.

Ladurée

One of the world's most famous French patisseries is finally opening in Toronto. There are already signs up at Yorkdale Shopping Centre, so you'll soon be able to line up for macarons at this North York mall before the end of 2017.

Nordstrom Rack

The city's newest Nordstrom will open at Sherway Gardens in September, and after that, in 2018, we'll finally get to shop for discounted goodies at Nordstrom Rack. It's also going into One Bloor West in 2018.

Farm Boy

This grocery store has been called Canada's Trader Joe's. It's opening up a 20,000 square foot space in Etobicoke this fall for all your food shopping needs. 

Matt & Nat

Montreal's vegan leather goods company already has a free-standing store in Quebec, but now it's opening one at Square One. Sure, it's technically in Mississauga, but it's close enough to get excited about.

Miniso

This Japanese-inspired Chinese retail brand has plans to open between 30 to 50 stores across Canada in the next year, so stay tuned for where this affordable variety store will turn up. 

Free events in Toronto this week include lots of outdoor movie screenings. There are also concerts and a giant street party and bike race on Ossington Avenue.

Abandoned places near Toronto have a strange allure that beckons people to explore. With options in the city dwindling as redevelopment claims former urbex playgrounds like the Tower Automotive Building, a trip outside the city offers excellent opportunities to soak up some of the area's lost history and spooky but beautiful ruins.

Here are 5 abandoned places to explore near Toronto.

Camp 30

This former POW camp is worth a visit for novice urbex types in that it has a fascinating history, is typically easy to access, and offers some stunning interiors, including a former swimming pool that's been consumed by graffiti. Exploration is more frowned upon than it was a few years ago, but the site is still mostly open for visitation.

Barber Paper Mill

These beautiful old ruins date back to the 1860s along the Credit River in Georgetown. Various development projects have been pitched for the site including a hotel and condos, but a heritage designation has helped to slow the process by which the site can be redeveloped. Access is easy and the surrounding area is pretty enough to warrant a trip.

Muskoka Sanitorium

One of the most eerie places on this list, this former Tuberculosis sanatorium is located in Gravenhurst and attracts urbex types looking to explore one of the few abandoned medical facilities still standing near Toronto. Interior access has typically been relatively easy, which reveals a building that's slowly being reclaimed by nature.

Cheltenham Brick Works

Toronto's Brick Works might be the best known in the region, but a trip up to Caledon reveals an old industrial site hasn't been reclaimed as a cultural centre. It's quiet here, but there's a beauty to the decaying buildings that's undeniable. Access to interior spaces is less likely these days, but the grounds themselves are worth the trip.

Silo City

You'll have to cross the border to get to this sprawling former industrial site, but it's certainly worth it if you're into the idea of urban exploration but a little bit shy about trespassing. You can take a guided vertical tour here that'll take you all the way up to the roof to one of the many grain silos that tower over the Buffalo River.

All across Toronto there are residential streets lined with uniform, unremarkable homes. So when someone breaks the mould with a strange front yard or weird architecture, it tends to stand out. Some express their individuality with front yard ornaments, others through bold design.

Here my picks for the weirdest homes in Toronto.

The Cube House

Built in 1996 on an awkward patch of land between Eastern, Sumach, and the Adelaide DVP ramp, the cube house was inspired by the works of Dutch architect Piet Blom. The unique structure is currently for sale, which puts its future up in the air. Make sure to check it out when you can.

Where'd the other half of this house go? Photo by Chris Bateman.

The Half House

During construction of the Village by the Grange, many of the homes that once lined the west side of St. Patrick St. were bought and demolished by developer Windlass. The owner of #54 1/2, however, was a staunch holdout. While the other properties in the six-house terrace were demolished, the middle one stayed standing.

The Elephant House

Sally the white elephant has been in James Lawson's Yarmouth St. front yard for years. Originally part of an OCAD thesis, Lawson rescued the giant pachyderm from destruction and installed it on his property in 2003. In 2013, Lawson gave weather-worn Sally a much needed facelift.

This is far and away the weirdest house in Leslieville. Photo by Greg's Southern Ontario.

The Doll House

Everyone in Leslieville knows about the doll house on Bertmount Ave. The unsettling front yard is crammed with figurines, dolls, and stuffed animals, all of which face the street and give passers by the distinct feeling of being watched.  The collection of toys is constantly evolving, growing, and changing.

Let's just stuff a house in there. Photo by @a.wynne.

The Narrow House

While it's not technically the narrowest house in Toronto (that title goes to another residence on this list), 383 Shuter Street is quite literally wedged in between two other buildings and certainly feels about as thin as you could possibly make a living space.

You'll do a double-take when you see the exterior of this home. Photo by Chris Bateman.

The Terracotta House

Built in 1905 by J. Turner Sr., probably in an effort to promote his construction business, this Jerome St. property is covered in oversized clay tiles, many of them intended for use on much larger buildings. Once fashionable, terracotta tile fell out of style in the 1890s, but it remains in abundance here. The house was recently listed for sale.

The Greek House

Toronto has lots of neo-classical buildings, but none as eccentric as the Parashos household on Shaw. The two-storey home is covered in Greek-inspired columns, pilasters, and other antique-looking stone sculptures. The family name is displayed proudly over the side alley in a faux Roman font and the whole thing is topped with a light-up star.

The Western House

On Regal Rd. near Dufferin and Davenport there's a bizarre home with a statue of a First Nations man on horseback in the front yard hovering over two upside down cowboy boots stuck in the ground. The little patch of land that faces the street has been turned into a rocky, desert landscape in the style of a Western scene by artist Frederic Remington.

Is it junk or public art. Photo via Google Street View.

The Assemblage House

What's that in the front yard of 550 Manning? Well, according to Metro, it's a mix of wood and other materials glued together with orange insulation foam. The assemblage is the work of resident Guiseppe Rauti, who started putting material on his front lawn 18 years ago. 

Toronto's smallest house is also one of its most famous. Photo by Derek Flack.

The Tiny House

If there's a smaller house in Toronto, the owners of 128 Day Ave. don't know about it. At just 29 square metres, the property was squeezed into gap intended for a laneway access road in 1912. It only has three rooms: a living area, kitchen, and back bedroom with a wall bed. The tiny house is the only one on this list known to have inspired a song.

The Northern Lights might be visible from areas just outside of Toronto tonight as a coronal mass ejection has sparked geomagnetic storms. Space weather forecasts indicate significant activity in the Sub-Auroral region, which includes Southern Ontario.

You won't be able to see the Aurora Borealis from urban areas on account of light pollution, but this looks like a big enough storm to warrant a bit of driving for a chance to get a glimpse at this rare phenomenon. 

If you're planning on making a trip, your best bet is to use the Dark Sky Finder. Heading northwest gets you to the darkest skies within the shortest distance, but where you go also depends having a good spot to spend some time looking up the sky. 

A place like the Torrance Barrens Dark Sky Preserve would be perfect, but it's a bit of a trek. Just make sure that you pick somewhere with a good vista to the north. 

The cloud cover forecast isn't amazing for our region tonight, but there's reason to be cautiously optimistic that around 10 p.m. we'll get mostly clear skies, which are obviously necessary to take in the show.

I'd double check the Clear Sky Chart before heading out, but with a little luck, we could be in for a spectacular sight tonight.

Events in Toronto this week include a beloved night market, a couple of big concerts, and a quintessential parking lot party. While there are also lots of fun free things to do, these events are all well worth the price of admission. 

In a big city like Toronto, it's fairly normal to see rodents scurrying around in public spaces.

But this past weekend, a video appeared on YouTube showing a pair of mice nibbling on baklava at a popular Queen Street West bakery.

The owner of Meli Baklava & Chocolate, reports CTV News, says the pastries in the window were only for display. Food served to customers is apparently kept safe in drawers behind the counter.

The bakery is located in the Queen Live Fresh Food Market, which is home to other restaurant kiosks as well.

As CTV notes, Meli has a near perfect DineSafe record. Inspectors may be dispatched in response to the video, but right now the bakery still sports a pass sign. 

The best lighting stores in Toronto have everything you can imagine to illuminate your home, office, or commercial space. Essential to interior design and necessary to see in the dark, lighting makes all the difference. It can make or break the ambience in a space.

Here are the best lighting stores in Toronto.

Tokyo Smoke is opening its Canadian flagship store on Queen Street West this July. To celebrate the big opening, we've teamed up with the shop to give one lucky reader the ultimate Tokyo Smoke prize pack. 

Check out all the contest details here.

This week on DineSafe a popular Portuguese bakery was shutdown by city health inspectors. The restaurant failed to prevent a rodent infestation, which ultimately led to there closure.

The annual Night It Up! market in Markham brought out huge crowds this weekend to feast on dishes from Toronto area food purveyors serving up everything from sweet shaved snow ice cream to fried stinky tofu. There were lots of lineups, but folks didn't mind waiting to eat.

Check out this photo gallery for 27 eats from Toronto's epic Asian night market.

It hasn't exactly been paradise on Toronto's beaches this year. Heavy flooding throughout the spring made many of the city's waterfront areas impassable. The city also closed Toronto Island Park and reduced ferry service.

Now, as water levels slowly retreat and most of the city's mainland beaches have opened, a new problem has emerged—E. Coli levels are through the roof at six of Toronto's 11 beaches.

The following beaches have been deemed unsafe to swim right now: Marie Curtis, Sunnyside, Cherry, Woodbine, Kew/Balmy and Bluffer's Park.

Outside of Rouge Beach, which is currently closed from flooding damage, the only beaches with passable water quality are on the Islands. The problem of course, is that none of these are open right now.

While you could take a water taxi over, the public has been discouraged from hitting these spots until July 31. What's worse, is that beaches like Hanlan's and Gibraltar Point will remain closed for the entire year. 

All that to say, if you're looking for a safe place to swim right now, you're out of luck in Toronto. Your best bet is to plan a road trip to one of the many nearby beaches that are open. 

Water quality is, however, tested every day at Toronto's beaches, so hopefully it won't take too long for bacteria levels to recede to the point where we can get out and enjoy the water again.

Weekend TTC closures aren't going away anytime soon. While the TTC has mapped out these closures for the rest of 2017, CBC News reports that they'll be sticking around until at least 2019.

That's because the transit commission needs to continue rolling out Automatic Train Control, a new signal system, across Line 1. Line 2 is also in need of track repairs.

As CBC notes, the TTC has identified weekends as the most efficient and least disruptive time for this type of work.

For your information, the next major subway closure is this weekend. From July 22 to 23, Line 2 will be shut down from St. George to Broadview.

It looks like Toronto Public Health took a YouTube video seriously after it purported to show two mice munching on pastries in the window of Meli Baklava & Chocolate, which is located inside the Queen Live Fresh Food Market.

Earlier today, as CP24 reports, health inspectors handed the entire food court a red card, which effectively keeps it shut down until it can be re-inspected.

Re-inspections usually occur within 24 to 48 hours, as is the is case when establishments get conditional or closed notices after routine or random inspections. 

There's currently a red closed notice from DineSafe on front door of the building at 238 Queen St. W., as well as a sign that says, "building is closed for day. Sorry."

Fashion accessory trends come and go, but one detail that always adds a certain je ne sais quoi to any outfit is a dog. You thought a scarf, or just the right hat would get you noticed out there? It's your four legged friend that truly gives you street style.

For the past few months, folks tuned into the local real estate market have been speculating that things in Toronto were starting to cool down. 

According to the latest data from the Canadian Real Estate Association, home sales are down across the country. "June sales were down from the previous month in 70 percent of all local markets, led overwhelmingly by the Greater Toronto Area (GTA)," reads a report that came out today.

Led by the Greater #Toronto Area, 🇨🇦 MLS® home sales drop added 6.7% in June; now 14.1% below March peak. https://t.co/4DcMn2oqCk#CREAstatspic.twitter.com/5Rp55JTykO

— CREA | ACI (@CREA_ACI) July 17, 2017

For the third month in a row, home sales declined in Canada. They dropped 6.7 percent from May to June 2017 and decreased by 11.4 percent in comparison to June 2016.

The CREA says this is the biggest national decline since 2010.

While listings in the Golden Horseshoe area were at all-time lows earlier this year, they're now picking up, meaning there are more homes for sale on the market.
