Toronto is cool.
That’s according to BBC travel reporter David G Allan who says the city’s charm is found in its eclectic shops, coffee houses and arty hotels.
Allan says part of what makes the city cool is that “doesn’t feel the need to advertise the fact, most of the world doesn’t even know.”
Another part of Toronto’s charm, according to Allan, is the lack of global chains. He also praised the quality microbrews found on tap at several downtown watering holes.
He cited Kenginston Market, The Junction, Queen West and the Distillery District as specific areas where “microcosms of hipness” exist.
