We only discovered the distillery district towards the end of our holiday. We'd been to some of the big theatres, and apart from "War Horse" which was stunningly brilliant, our next favourite would have to be Neil Simon's "The Good Time Boys". For such a small venue it had real impact in making you feel you were sharing the feelings and actions of the wonderful cast. Also the scenery was so well made, in fact the whole production was great, and we were sad to leave, as we were flying back to the U.K. the following day. Since then we have been saving like mad and hope to be flying back to Toronto next year for another couple of weeks. It'll be our 7th holiday (not in consecutive years) to Toronto (it feels like a 'home from home'). And I know when we've picked up all the "What's On?" brochures, one of the 1st things we'll do is see what's playing in the Distillery District.
Just one thing would have been nice, to go for a light bite to eat in the District, after the play. Maybe there are eateries there now that don't close so early? We hope so.
