Living in University

The grounds of the University itself are well manicured and filled with joggers and passersby strolling through the greenery. In summer the gardens serve as a performance space for Shakespeare productions at Philosopher’s Walk. Housed in a huge, awe-inspiring building that opened in 1914, there are tons of things to see and do at the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM). It’s home to exhibits based on world culture and natural history, from dinosaurs to astrology and ancient civilizations. A little west, The Bata Shoe Museum takes a look 4,500 years back in time from the shoes up, offering a day camp for kids and mixed events including improvisational dance.

Harbord Street, just west of the University of Toronto, is home to a string of well-established and well-loved restaurants. From the fancy Splendido, to great gastropub fare at Harbord House and The Harbord Room—a Canadian classic—you can’t make a wrong turn. Stop at the charming Harbord Fish & Chips for takeout and perch on the picnic benches outside, or in one of the area’s parks, and dig in. Nearby patisseries Chabichou and Harbord Bakery have you covered for dessert.

Two popular yoga centres also inhabit this end of the University area, offering Hatha yoga, guided meditations, yoga classes for mothers and children, and weekend courses, encouraging locals of all ages to unwind at their leisure.
