I worked a contract in Pittsburgh, and lived for several months in the William Pitt hotel, which would be comparable in style and location to the Royal York in Toronto. But you correct JTK, i asked where i could walk to to go to a nice restaurant, and they said: DON'T. Stay here, where it's safe. They told me that there are black areas and white areas, and I shouldn't go to the black areas.
A foreign concept for me, as there is no real delineation in Toronto. Plus, they have a tough time categorizing me, except one guy thought i was a mexican.
It's a small cute city by day, but the rush to leave (the mass at the buses at 5:15 outside Mellon Plaza) at the end of the workday is startling.
