Pizzeria Libretto

Sushi Bon
695 College Stlocal sushi, has a patio.
The draw of this place is that it is super close and has a secret huge backyard patio. It is under a tree canopy and so great on a warm summer night only. The inside is lacking. The food is basic portugese food- meat, fish and potatoes but we love it on a warm night with our kids. Lots of running around room.

This place is the closest, hip night-life type restaurant to our house. It serves up Mexican and is often packed in the evenings. Fun for groups wanting some feeling of fun without going all the way over to the Ossignton and Dundas area.

Sightseeing
Distillery Historic District
55 Mill StParks & Nature
Fantastic and only a short street car or drive from our home. It hosts a lot of free fun. A free outdoor zoo, a huge castle play structure for children, public pool, hiking, walking etc. Sometimes getting parking in the lot is hard on weekends as it is popular so we always street car but if you go early you can park at the zoo by entering off of Park Side drive.

Getting Around
Booking early online is cheap with them but last minute it is expensive. If you want to visit other places like Niagara falls then it may also make sense to check out online bus deals.
