1. Follow a Delicious Recipe that Toronto is known For

With plenty of great places to eat and enjoy good food, Toronto offers diverse and delicious cuisine from all

over the world. And it is awesome to know that this city is actually famous for its veal sandwiches. Putting

together and having a taste of one of these delicious meat-based sandwiches will send you to Toronto

without ever having to leave your dinner table.

Take thin slices of juicy veal cutlets, add breading, and pan-fry until crispy. Top it off with gremolata filling

of chopped parsley and garlic. Add the zest of two lemons with a big dollop of tomato sauce, and throw it all

into a fresh Italian roll. Nothing like a scrumptiously filling sandwich that will make you remember the

night streets of Toronto right after a great evening with friends.

What’s nice about making this delicious sandwich is that you don’t have to be an expert cook or even go

beyond knowing how to boil water. It’s so easy to do! What you need are just some ingredients and a few

minutes of your time. I guarantee you; it will leave you satisfied and make you feel ready to take on life’s

next challenges. Try this quick and delicious recipes that will have you enjoy those renowned Toronto flavors right away.

2. Surround yourself with Toronto’s city streets

Get yourself a printed map of the city and hang it on your wall. This will remind you of memories when you

were there and the memories that you will be making there someday soon. Having a printed map on display

in your house is the best way to show your love for Toronto. This Toronto city map is available in bright and bold color combinations. But if you prefer, you can also go for a more subtle minimalist black, white, and grey color for that classic feel.

3. Get Yourself a Comfortable Throw Blanket

We all know that Toronto can get really chilly during the winter months. So, go ahead and get comfy with

your favorite throw blankets. Make this great Canadian City your destination for this year’s travel-themed

staycation. And why not get yourself a new throw blanket, too, for good measure? They are truly

comfortable and can easily match any d cor style. Snuggling under your favorite blanket while reading a

book or watching TV is one of the most fun things you can do in your in-house vacation.

4. Watch a Film That Was Set on the Streets of Toronto

Known as the Hollywood of the North, Toronto is also a place where you can find many creative film sets on

the streets. Get cozy in your new throw blankets and stream a movie set in the middle metropolis of Toronto.

Consider classics such as: “Last Night” (1998), “Owning Mahowny” (2003), “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World”

(2010), or maybe you’d like to watch The F Word (2013). Let the scenes transport you back into the streets

of Toronto.

5. Go for Classic

Having saved your money for and from the potential airfare costs, treat yourself to something classic

Toronto style. Have some good quality maple syrup that is dark in color, with a great nutty flavor for

drizzling on anything sweet or savory. Add it into a cocktail and turn a drink into an amazing wintry

experience. Pour it over some buckwheat pancakes for a delicious breakfast, or let it drizzle on some confit

duck legs for an authentic Toronto dinner you can be proud of.

In whatever way you want to make your weekend special, let’s not forget that the best thing about it is the

friends you choose to celebrate with. This wonderful staycation experience can actually be as special as the

real thing.

Take your friends, your most comfortable throw blankets, along with your Toronto-themed treats, and enjoy

staying in having an awesome imaginary weekend in Toronto.
