Toronto's Distillery District

Our recent trip to Toronto included a visit to a neighborhood called the "distillery district" - with its quaint cobblestone streets - where former distilleries now house cute shops and restaurants.














Wandering around, we came across an oyster shucking contest...














(Don't know who won!)














I was intrigued by a store called the Gallery of Industrial Design. I just had to go in!














It carried unusual items, like this book holder (carved out of a ball of marble)...














This corn on the cob set...














And items - like this tray - made of metallic "lace."














Wandering by an outdoor restaurant patio...














We discovered a live jazz band and singer...














So we sat for a while and listened...














He had a great voice!














Eventually we ate at the Mill Street Brew Pub... Had a wonderful evening...














Toronto is always a lot of fun!
