Toronto is not New York. Toronto is Toronto.
Noting compares to NYC, but I think you can draw more parallels between Montreal and NYC. Both cities are know for their bagels, Pastrami( smoke meat ), even central park was designed by the same guy who did Mount Royal park. Both cities are ethnically diverse and have a large Hassidic Jewish population. I can't speak on the Asian food as I think most of it is better than MTL. MTL is far less dense than NYC. Like NYC Montreal has it's own special attitude. Montreal probably has one of the best food scenes anywhere in my opinion.
Toronto is like the Atlanta for Asians
Toronto 🇨🇦. …. becoming too American in some ways, when it should be more European. Is 4th largerst city in North America…after NYC, Mexico City and LA.
I think there’s still an A&W in Staten Island. Just saying. 🤷♂️
London is the closest to new york
New York is a lot dirtier old city and lot blacks and Spanish people. Over rated city
People just stick in certain enclaves and if you go outside of it you’ll get looked at
Toronto just cleaner and lot more multi cultural
New york is over rated and over priced
Canada is overrated. High income tax, high housing price, low property tax, low inheritance tax. It means working class is slave for old rich. No hope, no future.
I find the US to he funny as they are a country of extremes. Republican or Democrat, pro-gun or anti, a Yank/Southerner/West Coaster/Midwesterner, with us or against us. Canada isn't like that at all, we have left, right, center, far right, blue, orange, red, and green. Our diversity has diluted our views to allow for a more grey zone, common ground thinking without going all the way to either extremes. So no, we're not like NYC. But we also are. Toronto has a bit of a similar hustle and bustle attitude, just not as extreme. Toronto has similar housing issues with high rises going up all over the place, just not as extreme. We do try to be "cool" and "hip", we just don't try that hard. What NYC is to the rest of the US, is a similar relation Toronto shares being in Canada. The haters like to say we try hard to be like NYC, they're the ones who usually draw that comparison.
Having lived in Toronto, NYC and Chicago, Toronto and Chicago are more alike in terms of geography (with a 90 degree clockwise rotation) and layout, and temperaments are closer. NYC is in a class by itself.
It's the most populous Canadian city just like how NYC is the most populous in the U.S. and the both share similar vibes in terms of the landscape and culture. Bay St. is the Canadian equivalent of Wall St. and we also have a well known Chinatown. A lot of kids that I went to school with were Vietnamese, there's a pretty substantial Viet immigrant population here, so you'll see that reflected in the restaurant scene. Also, Hollywood movies that are situated in NYC often shoot in Toronto because the urban centres look so similar. A lot of scenes that are supposed to be the NY subway system are actually shot on the TTC subway system, for example. Montreal is also often compared to NYC but people say it's closer to a hybrid between NYC and Paris because of the French influence in Quebec.
Hi Hot Pot Boys. 😊
8:30 what happened at Ice 😂😂
every city should have its own personality.
At least you didn't call Toronto "The Six". 😖
One con is the poor immigration diversity. Almost half of all immigrants in the past few years are from one country.
The Canada 10 years ago wasn’t like that. It felt more diverse and people assimilated better.
curious why American cities so dangerous at night can someone explain?
Would or have y’all visited Toronto in the winter? Wonder what the vibe difference is.
As a Londoner who has visited both cities, I would say that Toronto is definitely unlike New York. NY just has its own energy that can only be matched by somewhere like London. Although I must say that New York is more well-paced & organised than the built-up Roman leftover that is London. I would say with Toronto, ethnic minorities like East Asians, South Asians, Caribbean etc are equally represented, & not "buried" under the American zeal like in New York. Multiculturalism in Canada is spread out evenly, whereas in London where I'm from – its out of control with too many things to keep up with & lots of people taking the piss.
Use to spend every summer in Toronto or Mississauga for 2 months with my family. It's cleaner and has a more family and community oriented environment, especially due to the socialist healthcare and education system. Ppl are more laid back. BUT New York always had this excitement and motivation for me. I'd say Toronto is good for being raised in until high school and for retirement, BUT NYC good for college and work and business. Love how its not even a 2 hour flight apart so I can rack up as much air miles and fly between 2 really nice airports (YYZ and JFK)
not even close….. NYC is way more dense. The suburbs like Markham and Richmond hill is more like Cali's Orange county area with the asian plazas spread out in the suburbs
Hopefully not as many Asians assaulted on the subway 😬
Nobody in Toronto says that tbh
lol so basically its NYC but better
Thx for visiting!!!
"Scandi-French" taste you mention, is the "anglo-germanic", taste from the 1800-1900s immigration, conservative, villages, farming history. Maple syrup is more of the pride of Quebec(They make way more of it), but tourist shops will have maple syrup stuff always. Also Architecture is not as risky due to conservative developers and community meetings always keep things shorter and more muted. This is changing year after year though. We are currently getting our latest skyscraper height battle between 2 developers. The generations of immigration is making the makeup of the city change every few years, every 5 years needs an update tbh, neighbourhoods always changing. I wish we had more cheap eats like NYC, but there is redtape on street food vendors, and the lower density in the majority of areas means it cant be sustained except for some places like Chinatown. (Cheapest Banhmis & Chinese bakery items for example). It is going in a more positive direction in terms of business though, younger generation and immigrants and more daring and competitive, slowly unpeeling the conservatism. Will be an interesting century for the city.

My friends from HK say the Cantonese food in Toronto is better than HK.
Hell no. Toronto is soft, like Drake
Bagged milks are in the supermarkets. They sell 3 bags for a total of 4 litres. It's normally purchased for home consumption. Toronto's population is significantly smaller than NYC so it will be much different because we don't have the economies of scale.
I think we live up to our nicknames. "Toronto the Good" or "The City Fun Forgot". I agree that I don't get why people insist on comparing it to New York lol its pretty different. I think it's a better city to live than to visit. It's a city of neighbourhoods and it being kinda suburban is really true, quite a few areas were rural not that long ago. But there's always something to do and it's quite safe and generally pleasant
