It's a bit higher than I thought, more towards West 101 St.

I want to visit quite a few places around the city, so just wondering which areas to stay away from.

Thanks for the tips on this. It never snows where I'm from so it will be quite the experience for me. I'm sure I'll look completely out of place wearing 15 layers of clothes :P

Hopefully I'll be near there in time for the festival. Definitely looks like its worth checking out!
