A $7 ferry ride gets you across to the Toronto Islands, a massive public park in Toronto's harbour. It has the best view back of the Toronto skyline. Hanlan's point has a clothing optional beach to visit, Centreville is great for kids and families, or wander the tiny streets on Ward's island to see the cottage-style homes of people who live on the islands. A great escape from the city, but so close to downtown.

Hands down one of our favourite restaurants - it's tiny and they do not take reservations, so it's best to go on a week night. The food is a contemporary take on japanese, with delicious cocktails, and a really cool industrial setting. Be warned, the music is often loud, so it's a lively spot but you'll have to speak loudly to your dining companion.
