Living at the MET is as colourful and vibrant as our neighbourhood in the heart of downtown Toronto.  Steps from our revolving door, you can feel the pulse of the citizens that reflect the diversity and multiculturalism of our city as they go about their business.   With the College subway on the corner and streetcar that passes in front of our building you can easily move around Toronto.    

Tourists visiting our neighbourhood can stay at Day’s Inn, The Ramada Hotel, Delta Chelsea Inn and the Marriott Courtyard Hotel.  Nearby they can roam about and shop at the Eaton Center, College park or take in a Broadway show a few blocks away.   If on a shoe string budget Yonge-Dundas Square showcases a variety of concerts, theatrical events and community celebrations all for free!     

After a hard day of work and if one is too tired to cook, close by are a multitude of ethnic restaurants such as Japanese, Greek, Thai, Indian, Caribbean, Korean, Lebanese, Vietnamese, Mexican, Pizza and your favourite fast food, where you can eat.  

Feeling full after a great meal, enjoy a nice walk in the Allen Garden Greenhouse, feeling like you have an upset stomach, head into Shoppers Drugmart that is open 24 hours every day of the week located across the street.  Also open 24 hours each day of the week is the Metro grocery store located in the lower level of College Park.  

Also close by is Toronto’s historic Fran’s Restaurant which has provided home style cooking for more than 60 years and is open 24 hours a day.  You even might find a cop or two having a donut and coffee there, as it is next to Toronto’s Police Headquarters.   Need to work off a meal, head up a block to the YMCA.   Want to dance to the YMCA, Toronto’s gay village a block over has coffee shops, restaurants and bars where you might find yourself a cop but he might not be a real one especially if it is at Church Street’s yearly Halloween block party.    

Nothing brings our neighbourhood together like a parade.  Being close to two major parade routes all Torontonian’s can watch the delight of children waiting for Santa Claus to arrive, Irish and South East Asian folks celebrate their culture as the march down Yonge Street or University Avenue.   

As one of the world’s largest celebrations, the Pride Festival parade unites the citizens of Toronto show casing the exotic diversity of our city and making this neighbourhood a great place to live.  

Welcome to our neighbourhood, convenient, exciting and something for everyone!
