The Distillery District, a national historic site in Toronto, is a neighbourhood and village of its own, a distinctly unique area in the city, just east of Old Town (King East) and south of Corktown. It\u2019s a great mini-escape from the hustle of downtown Toronto and outside of our downtown properties while still being in the downtown area. Though it\u2019s much quieter during the weekdays instead of the weekends, it\u2019s a lovely way to explore more of the city, get connected to its roots, and escape the hustle of downtown. Here are our favourite places and events to explore the Distillery District.<\/p>\n

1. El Catrin <\/a>
\nAs one of our top patio picks in Toronto, El Catrin\u2019s bright outdoor display is one you can\u2019t miss in The Distillery. Sun yourself alongside a margarita amongst the bright yellow lamps on the heated patio or stay awhile under the large scale murals and comfy benches inside over Mexican inspired fare. It\u2019s our pick for a date in the area.<\/p>\n

2. SOMA Chocolate <\/a>
\nSOMA has been known as the best chocolate maker in the city and it\u2019s a treat to visit its original location in the distillery (just past El Catrin). Taste test a truffle (or ten), savour the gelato, or sip on SOMA\u2019s famous drinking chocolate on the back wooden stairs. At this location, you can also watch the chocolate-making process through the glass windows. Of course, this is one of the best places to get a \u201cMade in Toronto\u201d gift. Closer to our downtown locations is SOMA\u2019s second King Street location.<\/p>\n

3. Events Year round, The Distillery District provides ambiance with its open area in the main square for performances among its cobblestones and unmarked green doors. Stroll for fresh produce and other made in Ontario products at the Sunday Summer Market; Lounge in the main square during the numerous festivals like the TD Jazz Fest; Art Fest is a more unique festival in September; and the most famous event–rounding out the end of the year– is the Toronto Christmas Market, ideal to find unique gifts and warm up under the fire with some mulled wine.<\/p>\n

4. Pikto<\/a> When is the last time you p\"Distillery<\/a>rinted a photo? Professional services still exist and Pikto is the place where photography enthusiasts and the pros get their prints and photobooks done. Peruse the photobooks, sign up or inquire about a photography workshop, or even print your instagram photos.<\/p>\n

5. Soulpepper Theatre<\/a> Though the Distillery is known for its art galleries, tucked in the back of the district on the east side, you\u2019ll find this treasure trove of a theatre. Watch a new play or check out their concert series when in season. The theatre is a strong supporter of youth and has many free programs and initiatives in this area (great for your child who has a creative or dramatic streak).<\/p>\n

There are so many other reasons to visit the Distillery District. Not too far from your furnished suite in Toronto, we hope that you check out the Distillery when you are in Toronto.
