1. Consulate General of Germany - 2 Bloor Street East

From here south, the Yonge Street Strip, as it was known at times, had some of Toronto’s earliest taverns hosting live music and supporting various subcultures and scenes, like the Silver Rail, the Friars Club (now the Hard Rock Cafe) and the Colonial, just a few sites that played host to the city’s evolving culture scene, along with some the city’s first truly public LGBT venues.

A city like Berlin seems to pour out arts and culture from every block while Toronto less so, but we hope on this walk through a relatively small geographic area looking at just some of the landmarks will demonstrate how rich and varied the arts and culture is and was here.
