Any good shops? Spots to eat?
I'm going with my gf this summer, not gonna bring a board.
I guess Eaton Center will probably get you covered.. there's a shit load of stores inside and around the whole place (including Dundas-Yonge Square).
A few stops in mind are probably Soundscapes (record store), So Hip it Hurts (skateboarding shop).... oh and never forget the famous Toronto Condom Shack.
If you were coming to the Hammer I can probably help you out a bit more haha.
So Shit Its Gay.
stay away from this store
lol has it gone to shit? i haven't been there in forever
not to trash you too much but all of those recommendations are absolutely terrible.
eaton center is for joeys. if you're into hitting armani exchange and roots all in the same mall then sure it's going to be awesome for you. also i don't know who goes to malls on a vacation besides unintelligent women and danny bonaduce.
i know nothing about record stores simply because i don't need to impress anyone with a vinyl collection but i know it's worth wandering around in kensington market for them... also worth the trip to kensington for hilarious finds, authentic mexican food (pretty sure it's still open), and people watching. also it's right by sneaky dees, which is a must hit restaurant for their nachos alone.
condom shack is for people who draw dicks on the wall. and seeing as you're comfortable enough with going on a vacation with your girlfriend i'm sure you don't use them anyways.
i don't have a problem with so hip but the staff there is really confused and they like listening to korn and jack johnson. so if you're down to hang out with people who wear beanies on a patio in the summer and can talk about the latest escapades at dance cave then hit it up. sure they got a lot of stuff if you're into shake junt and burton or you could hit up baitshop that carries a better selection of brands and has an incredible mini ramp in it.
as for night life it really depends on what you're into and if you need any help deciding that shoot me a pm.
