My friend K and I decided we were, as recent graduates, long overdue for a vacation—or a staycation, actually, where we would be tourists in our own city for three days and four nights.
Day 1
Morning: Breakfast at Versus Coffee (ft. colourful latte and matcha green tea), a writing session, and some photography!
Noon: A mani+pedi and a hand & shoulder massage at the women's only Sweetgrass Spa!
Lunch at Planta Burger! This here's the Jackpot with bbq fries. Sooooo yummy.
Evening: High tea at the Windsor Arms Hotel. Absolutely delectable food, delightful tea, and lovely rooms!
Day 2
Morning: breakfast at Dineen's and some more writing.
The best way to get around with friends on the weekend is a TTC Day Pass
Commerce Court
St. James Cathedral
Inside St. James Cathedral
Gooderham Building
Cool N2 Nitrogen Ice Cream
Graffiti Alley
Noon: Exploring iconic Toronto areas and making our way to Kensington Market and Ozzy's Burgers for lunch!
My kind of wall: covered in books!
Lavender white hot chocolate!
Warming up at FIKA Cafe and indulging in their increeeedible lavender white hot chocolate! Very floral but not too sweet.
Day 3
Breakfast at Sud Forno's, lunch at The Old Spaghetti Factory, and a day spent chilling and walking around Old Town Toronto.
All in all, we had a great time, but this guide only features about half of what we did and saw! We also went to The Papery, Hanji Gifts, Midoco, St. Lawrence Market, Ten Editions Bookstore, Mr. Pen, and Curiosa.
Have you ever taken a staycation? Leave a comment and tell me how it was!
