Toronto is home to many household-name stars such as Drake, Shawn Mendes, The Weeknd and more. It is no surprise that Toronto is gaining the public recognition that is deserves. Filled with delicious food, fun local drinks and great people, (and a great view overlooking the lake) Toronto is a destination that should be on everyone’s list.
