Hey Mark, there are a few places in Toronto you havent mentioned yet that I think would be great for your travel tips you do offer to your fans that go either to this vid or ur love-hate vid on Toronto, being from around the GTA and now having the TTC extended into my home city of Vaughan on the Spadina-University side of Line 1, there are a plethora of more things to do in and around the GTA as a whole. So for attractions to see, theres the Distillery District on Parliament, Little Tokyo which has a stretch of Japanese-inspired shops and restaurants on a stretch of street frum Dundas east at St. Patrick Station which leads into Yonge-Dundas Square and Eaton Centre area; The Rec Room which is in the area of the Roundhouse where the trains are but a little west of where the trains are its like Dave & Busters but newer, more upscale and kid & adult friendly as well, they also have ping-pong tables outside as well; u already did mention Kensington; for those who want to venture off the beaten path on Spadina, theres a place called Graffiti alley which is pretty close to I believe Queen & Spadina or College & Spadina. But its a beauty spot to take picts of sum crazy good artwork on a stretch of allies within one area; Casa Loma, dnt know if u mentioned it but the tunnels there are spectacular, also they have a fun lil thing called the Xcape Room witin the dungeons of the castle and finally Medieval Times if not already mentioned which is on the grounds of the Ex.
A few adult friendly places of note are, Cabana Pool Bar Poulson Pier; the nightlife scene on King Street, especially The Ball Room & Steam Whistle Brewery which is in the same Round House complex across frum Rogers Centre.
But as for what you can do in Vaughan, aside frum Wonderland is Vaughan Mills which is a lil South of Wonderland; there is a cenotaph around Woodbridge Avenue in Woodbridge for the history buffs; Kortright Center for the nature enthusiasts, its off Rutherford Road & Pine Valley Drive to the South but Major Mackenzie Drive & Pine Valley to the North, it also has its own Xcape Room of sorts at night & finally for what you can do in the Vaughan area coming off the subway on the most northern portion of Line 1 is McMichael Art Gallery which is north on Islington Avenue into Klienburg, which features sum nice outdoor galleries and an indoor art gallery within the whole gallery complex.

Just a note with PATH: don't enter it for the first time, if you're in a rush to get somewhere. The absence of the sky overhead makes it harder to orientate yourself. It's like a cross between a shopping mall and a multi-city block maze. It's easy to get lost, even with a map (I know from experience. It's basically a rite of passage in Toronto, to get lost in PATH. If you DO become hopelessly lost, though, the good news is that Canadian hospitality pretty much guarantees you'll find a kind (and more PATH-experienced) local who can help you get where you need to go.
All that said: getting lost in PATH for a few hours is preferable to being above ground in the middle of winter, much of the time. Toronto is cold enough that from December to March, even later, snow and ice just happen and they keep piling up, without melting. Make sure that if you're there in the middle of winter, you have winter boots and a parka/other coat which are good to -20C. Toque, scarf, gloves, and at least a thick pair of jeans or equivalent, are also necessary during the worst of a Toronto's winter. If you can get long johns (long underwear) under those jeans, so much the better.

Also the art and architecture of the distillery district is a must see -- very well preserved old brick distillery buildings converted into art gallery's with a wild and wacky steampunk vibe. Lots of festivals and craft fairs happen there too. For more awesome old brick, upscale local artist shopping and a nice quiet nature walk area, there's also the Brickworks area. Both places have interesting history you can really see in the buildings. Take in some local theatre in Toronto that isn't the big box hollywood musical variety. CanStage, the Tarragon Theatre and Soulpepper are really great all around theatres with long histories and play that make up in acting quality and interesting political and literary content what they lack in spectacle and luxury. The even smaller Theatre Passes Muraille, Factory Theatre and the LGBTQ-focused theatre Buddies in Bad Times are even less outwardly luxurious and slightly more hit-or-miss, but if you do your research you'll find the best national theatre in these places too. There's a new crop of small and large storefront theatre coming up here, but these are the mainstays I've always known and loved.

As for eats that are kinda not known & one know eatery in the GTA, Kukum Kitchen which offers Indigenous Canadian fare at 4 or 5 Star type of prices which can be accessed frum St. Clare Station. If you want Indigenous fare at fairer prices then Banock around the Queen Street side where the Eaton Center, city hall, Old City Hall & a cenotaph is the place to be. And a place that has locations in Toronto and one in Vaughan at Weston Road & Highway 7 is Burgers Priest.

What I will say as a British traveller (and European) to Toronto, is to avoid Casa Loma. The chances are you've seen geniune castles or historic houses far more picteresque, ancient and interesting than Casa Loma which for me was not really worth the visit. If you do go however, check out the passages to the stables and the timeline of photos which documents the history of Toronto over the last 100 years, the most interesting thing to see there!

I love spending full days in Kensington Market, one of my favourite places on earth. My favourite shop is Courage My Love on Kensington Ave, I get pretty much all my jewelry there. Sampling cheeses in the cheese shop there, and picking your favourite to buy is also very fun. Cobs bread bakery is really good, and healthy for the most part, they have really high quality bread.

I don't mind the addition to the ROM but SO MANY of the locals here despise the crystal addition. They think it's hideous and some are concerned of falling ice in the winter. It was added late 2000's. BTW there is also a terrible infestation of raccoons too. Hearing a fight between two of them right now outside my house lol

One thing I would add to the CN Tower experience- the Edge Walk. It seemed a little expensive at first, but was worth every penny and is an experience you'll never forget! Kids have to be 13+ to do the walk, though: -)

On my honeymoon my wife and I went to the top of the CN tower and shared a 3 course meal in the restaurant and it really wasn't that bad. walked on the glass floor up there. a splurge worth doing once.
