The Danforth
After your Edmonton to Toronto flight, take a trip to The Danforth. The Danforth is a street that begins where downtown ends, when Bloor St. becomes Danforth Ave. as it crosses the Don Valley. Easily accessible by transit, with the Line 2 subway running under the entire street, The Danforth is a fantastic place for a meal and stroll away from the hustle and bustle of the downtown core.
The western stretch of The Danforth is home to Toronto's famous Greektown - so if you're looking for gyros, souvlaki or saganaki after your Edmonton to Toronto flight, you are in the right place! Though Greektown was once a predominantly Greek neighbourhood, it has become a multicultural hub in more recent years. Modern Greektown hosts more than just ouzo and bouzouki music, you'll find people and flavours from around the world along the western end of The Danforth.
In addition to the many dining options along the Danforth, The Danforth Music Hall hosts many local and touring musical acts and nearby Withrow Park is a great place to take a break and enjoy the outdoors. Join the locals for a coffee break at Alexander the Great parkette, where the statue of the ancient Greek ruler overlooks a flowing fountain.
Venture further east, and you'll discover The Danforth's Little Ethiopia, where you can sample the fantastic flavours of East African cuisine.
Toronto's Danforth is a food lover's dream, and a great way to spend an evening on your trip from Edmonton to Toronto.
