re: Getting around Toronto...Help!

Thank you, all. Your willingness to share and help is most touching.

I did find a great website dedicated to theatre in Toronto. (Unfortunately, I was "teased" by a Shaw Festival production of Mack and Mabel, a show I have never seen but always wanted to. However, I'm afraid it's quite far from Toronto.)

I will be there later in the month so will miss the film festival. But one thing i will NOT miss is the Bata Shoe Museum!

Keep your suggestions coming. I appreciate them so much.

Miss Pennywise, the Sheraton Town Centre on Queen Street is a great hotel that is close to everything. I usually use priceline to stay in TO and get INCREDIBLE deals at 3/4 star hotels. All of the hotels I have gotten have been in the center of downtown and close to everything.

Also, there is a great little theatre store called Theatre Q's on King Street close to the Royal Alex Theatre. Lots of hard to find CDs and memorabilia.

You will have a blast. A warm welcoming safe city to explore and enjoy. Also, Cirque Du Soleil's KOOZA is playing and getting raves from my friends. I am going next week.

Miss P, I have spent quite a bit of time in Toronto and it's a beautiful, cosmopolitan city. I find it very easy to get around between the subway and walking. I have stayed at the Fairmount Royal York, the Sheraton Centre, the Renaissance and the Westin Harbour Castle. I would recommend the Sheraton of those. The Fairmount is lovely, but the rooms are smallish and the Westin has great waterfront views but is a bit further removed from downtown -- you sort of go through a no-mans land under the highway when walking. The shoe museum is not to be missed! The gardens and churches near the university are also quite smashing. Great restaurants!!!!

I forgot to add that the only place that can be really crowded, and perhaps a problem for your daughter, might be around the shopping district -- Eaton Center (especially on weekends)

These are all great suggestions. I think Cirque du Soleil is a great idea. My son has never seen a Cirque production, so this would be perfect, Betty!

Sommsy, thanks so much. Any other tips would be wonderful, too. (I knew YOU would be a fan of the Shoe Museum! Any of Miss America's old shoes in their permanent collection?)
