A cultural phenomenon of languages, foods, customs, and celebrations. Toronto has outstanding museums and galleries, gorgeous theatres and live music, poetry readings, comedy shows, and more. If you love to eat out, whether it's sitting at sidewalk bistros on a warm summer night or getting all wrapped up for some hot Vietnamese pho, Toronto’s remarkable diversity provides Pakistani, Persian, and Portuguese restaurants; Japanese pancakes and Korean barbecue; fresh pasta in Little Italy, shawarmas in Greektown and the best dumplings in Chinatown. For those with energy to spare, there are beaches and waterfront paths along Lake Ontario, plus kayaking or standup paddling around the Toronto Islands
