About this trip

Day off in Toronto? Step off the beaten path for some less-discovered gems. West Queen West is a cool neighborhood with hip indie boutiques and cafes. The Half House is wholly fascinating. And The Great Library at Osgoode Hall treats books in the illustrious fashion that they’d want to be treated.
