Food

Peameal bacon sandwich at Carousel Bakery in St. Lawrence Market — Toronto classic. Chinatown on Spadina Avenue for dumplings (Mother's Dumplings). Indian at Banjara. Brazilian steakhouse: Copacabana. Breakfast: Mildred's Temple Kitchen.

Football

BMO Field is home to Toronto FC (MLS) — 45,500 seats, the smallest WC26 stadium but atmospherically top-tier. Six WC26 matches. One of the few venues with a real city view in the background.
