Sinister: Toronto picnic

[Red Geisha]

And also have a few
>recommendations on what to see? where to stay? and where to go out?:)

There are a million good places to stay it depends on what your range is. 
You may want to see the usual, CN Tower, Canada's Wonderland, etc. Queen St. 
& Yorkville are two of the better shopping experiences. Penguin Music @ 
Queen & McCaul is your best to find good music...you can also look at a 
bunch of flyers in any of the clothing/music stores on Queen St. to fit your 
musical tastes. As for places to club there are three or four options, 
depending on your taste. A new night is beginning on the 23rd @ the Down One 
called "The Vanity Fair" which will feature pop, uk indie, etc. There is 
also "The International Colouring Contest" on every 2nd Friday. "Soul Night" 
at the Rivoli happens once or twice monthly. There is also "Blow-Up" on 
Saturdays which is a soul, groove, psych, uk-indie, pop night and has been 
running in various incarnations for four years. That is located at the El 
Mocamobo @ Spadina & College. We have loads of beautiful bars in the city & 
some new hot Bubble tea rooms. Try the College strip for nice bars & 
Cumberland St. for the new Bubble tea room. For more interesting eye candy 
I'd also visit Chinatown on the weekend, Kensington Market, the AGO or the 
Bata Shoe Museum.

>As for the picnic.. Can anyone help me find a nice park where we can go?:)
>
Ha! You obviously didn't get the memo, all our parks have been inhabited by 
the cities homeless. Many of our downtown parks aren't worth the bother 
anymore as our gov't has been skimpy on cheap housing...some people even 
have tents! There is High Park (the best park in the city) but it is 
massive. The park in Kensington isn't too bad but it really depends on the 
day and weekends are also filled with suburban kids napping before their 
next "party".
