Start times and dress codes
Dinner sits between 7 and 9pm. Toronto is casual and unshowy — smart-casual covers almost everything, and only a handful of downtown rooms expect more. It is a genuinely multicultural city and the dining reflects that more than any single tradition.
Getting to the venue
The subway and streetcars cover the core well, though the network is smaller than the city's size suggests and closes around 1:30am. Winter is served by the PATH, an underground walkway system that makes January considerably more pleasant.
When the Toronto calendar fills
May through October is the comfortable stretch, with the film festival in September as the busiest single week. Winter is long and genuinely cold, so plans move indoors from December to March.

Taking a date to an occasion in Toronto
Is winter a problem in Toronto?
It shapes the plan rather than preventing it. From December the evening is built around indoor places, and the PATH network downtown means you can move between many of them without going outside at all.
Which neighbourhood suits a first meeting?
The Distillery District or Queen West. Both are walkable, full of places to sit, and easier for a first meeting than the financial core, which empties after work.
