Toronto
This time of year, Toronto is one of my favorite cities that are within driving distance of the US. Sitting on the north shore of Lake Ontario, summer evenings in Toronto are usually cool and perfect for walking.
For me, aside from the weather, the thing that brings me back is the food scene. Depending on what you’re in the mood for, there’s something world-class, and usually affordable, right nearby. In my opinion, Toronto’s Chinatown has some of the best offerings in the business, though I have yet to find a bad restaurant. Also, since you’re in Canada for this one, make sure to make Tim Horton’s your morning stop for coffee: we don’t have many of these in the US and I highly recommend it.
