Toronto, for an OPBR
Where to stay
Downtown, near Union. Home turf on game night, with fast lines out to everywhere else.
A game, any game
Leafs, Raptors or Jays. You had tickets before you booked the flight.
The Hockey Hall of Fame
Give it the whole afternoon. You will read every plaque.
Pacific Mall, Markham
Well north of the city: a maze of tiny shops for figures, imports and things you can't get downtown.
What to skip
Generic sightseeing. You can see a tower anywhere.
Your people, and your problem
THE DEEP CUT
“When you're into something, you go deep.”
A deep cut is the track only the real fans know. Deep Cut travelers research like planners, but what they're researching is a rabbit hole, not a top ten: one team, one cuisine, one kind of record, one bar.
How to travel: Pick your obsession and let it draw the map. Toronto is a city of scenes, and nearly every one has a street, a strip mall or a basement of its own. It rewards people who show up knowing what they're looking for.
