3 Nights in Toronto

I will be spending 3 nights in Toronto (next week), my days will be filled (working unfortunately) but I want to make the most of my time there and see what I what heard is a great city..... I will be free by the early evening so I am thinking of bars, clubs, interesting neighbourhoods etc. but any reccomendations that help me get to experience a little of the place would be very welcome.

Hi - and welcome to Thorn tree.

3 nights in Toronto 'Must' include a trip up the CN Tower.
It's superb. Oh - and if you're a bit flushed, take a meal in the revolving restaurant.
Great few hours of fun.
Have a great trip.

Toronto really is a city of neighbourhoods,

Urgh, if i hear one more person say that I'm going to scream. All big cities are a "city of neighborhoods" .... it's not something that makes Toronto unique in any way.

If you only have three nights I certainly wouldn't waste any of it on billy's suggestion.
#2 has made some good suggestions. You should have a great time as Toronto is worthwhile for its entertainment.

I'm going to agree with #3 and suggest going to neighbourhoods that interest you -
If you like Italian, check out College Street
I think that the Greek area on Danforth is interesting and the food is awesome - always have a great meal at the Ouzeri restaurant
Love Queen West and you can walk out there from Yonge Street.
If you like sports, see if anything is going on ... baseball or soccer

cheers, Diva

Isn't Yonge street (quoted as being) the longest street in the world?

yes, Yonge Street is known for that.

Another idea is to walk the boardwalk in the Beach.. depending on the amount of daylight that you have.

Depending on the types of bars you want to go to you've got lots of options. The Distillery District has the Bier Markt which is a great stop. The Entertainment District is also a good bet. If you're looking for good meals you'll find in a lot of cases different ethnic neighbourhoods - Greek Town (The Danforth) was mentioned. China Town sits along Spadina Avenue between Queen West and Dundas, along with numerous other very welcoming areas. T.O. has a vibrant community on Yelp too - worth a look as they frequently have events going on.

Where are you staying? There is likely lots in walking distance, and if you ask at the hotel they can also give ideas. And as someone mentioned, Eye or Now both have lots of info.
