I am fan of "americanized" hong-kong style chinese and dimsum if that helps.
I've been local to miami for 10 years. I grind here. When I get away, I get the
**** out of dodge. I have fond memories of Toronto, and I'll be looking at some
distressed assets while we're there.

Just curious?
For shopping hit Vaughan Mills, its a brand new mall and is a Ladies Fav for sure (Hwy 400 and Rutherford) Wonderland is just north at Hwy 400 and Major Mac (like 5 mins) and is a great place to catch some coasters and shows etc..
Downtown area has lots of great restaurants and entertainment. Honestly leave the car, and walk Yonge street going north, the night life and restaurants will all be open and you can just walk right into some of the best chill night clubs (jazz bars etc) that you have ever been to. Toronto is super safe (per a city) as you know, so no need to feel afraid to walk around and meet people and check things out.

So... I have a few impressions post trip:
1. Toronto's city workers need to get their pay issues worked
out and get the garbage cleaned up.
2. I got a tremendous deal at the Sutton which I was unhappy
with until I realized what I got for $70USD/night
3. I am not personally capable of riding every coaster at Wonderland
without vomitting.
4. The dim sum at Li wah heen / Metropolitan is worth every
penny (I knew this immediately after the lobster, garlic and butter
dumplings were brought to us - in the shape of lobsters).
5. Durian really does smell like **** and taste like ice cream.
6. Can't the pride folks have one parade? Is two really necessary?
No.
7. Fallsview and Casino Niagra have poor approaches to poker
8. I should have planned my car rental better as I ended up in a
Dodge avenger.
9. Attitudes have gotten worse throughout Ontario. I just don't recall
so many people being foul (although my last trip was 15 years ago).
10. Toronto's economy seems to be roughly 24 months behind the
states... Can it avoid combustion? I just don't know. The facilities I
looked at seemed to be in relatively robust areas, and business seemed
to be planning ahead. I did not see nearly the amount of supply in the
marketplace present in the southeastern US.
11. Steamwhistle was a nice diversion downtown.
12. Did not make it to the distillery district, nor pacific mall.
13. Had an amazing trip
14. The keg > Baton Rouge
