The sushi and tuna salad are fab! Great New York vibe with half price bottles on Wednesday. Check it out — I think they now have a happy hour.

Fabulous local spot. Great for lunch! A favourite for the uni crowd. Great wood oven bagel making right before your eyes. The salmon cream cheese is my fave.

The wood oven pizza is fabulous. This is one of the few restaurants located right on the canal at the fifth avenue entrance. Great after skating.

In the fall Saunders Farm does a fantastic job of bringing to life Halloween for families. Teens and adults alike love the scary night time horror ride on the wagon. Too scary for the wee ones.

The children’s museum at the Museum of History is extraordinary. Kids can load up a barge, ride a camel in Egypt, build a home out of bricks, catch a bus ride in Turkey, or take part in an impromptu play. The best time to visit the museum is during the witching hour: from 3 to 6. Reduced crowds and endless fun.
