The Nature of Diamonds exhibit at the Royal Ontario Museum

Distillery District
If you haven’t visited this historic neighbourhood in Toronto, it’s worth making the time to do so. Visit quaint galleries of local artists’ work, shop the boutiques for local artisans’ creations, and enjoy a coffee at Balzacs or a Mayan hot chocolate at Soma! Sit down for a pint at the Mill Street Brewery’s pub or splurge on some oysters next door. Lots to see and discover, as well as delicious food in a relaxing and historic setting. http://www.thedistillerydistrict.com/
