We’re in Toronto. It Was Not My Idea. Send Help.

This week, I’m taking three of my four kids to Toronto for spring break.
My boys picked Toronto because all four of the city’s pro sports teams are home this week. The Blue Jays, the Raptors, Toronto FC, and the Maple Leafs — fine, three major ones and the Leafs.
I picked St. Thomas. I lost.
My daughter couldn’t resist once she heard she’d never been to Canada. My other daughter has a different spring break schedule, so she’s sitting this one out. My wife is home alone right now. In my house. In silence. She has already texted me three times to say how nice it is.
We arrived today. Blue Jays host the Dodgers this afternoon. Leafs host the Capitals tonight. Raptors play the Heat tomorrow. Three games in two days. My boys are in heaven. I am in Toronto in April.
I’ll be blogging Thursday and Friday, so if anything entertaining happens — and with three kids in a foreign country, something will — you’ll hear about it here.
In the meantime, I need your help.
We’ve never been to Toronto. Between games, I want to make the most of the city. We’re not picky eaters — we mess with everything. Omakase and sushi, steak, street food, pizza, poutine. Toronto’s food scene is supposed to be legitimately world-class, and I’ve heard the Hockey Hall of Fame, the Distillery District, and Kensington Market are all worth a few hours.
But you know more than I do. If you’ve been — especially with kids — I want to hear from you. What’s worth the line and what isn’t? Any neighborhood worth exploring on foot? Any traps to avoid? Anything we absolutely cannot miss?
Send your recommendations to eric.meyer@pierferd.com. I’ll report back. My wife will not be checking in.
