Welcome to the 6ix
Toronto is famous for its diversity, its music and sports teams as well as some unique coffee cafes. Its population, office towers, hotels, and condos have been rapidly expanding, and its time for Canadians to enjoy time in their own backyard. Citywide events, attractions, and patios across Toronto have adjusted their practices and have reopened inviting Canadians to Ontario’s cosmopolitan capital. Toronto is so much more than a concrete jungle, the so-called 6ix also offers loads of activities and natural wonders to explore, as you do, check out some of these fun Coffee shops on World Coffee Day along the way!
A reference to the 6 in both of TO’s area codes (416 and 647) and a nod to the 6 boroughs that make up Drake’s hometown, the 6ix has quickly become the preferred nickname for many of Toronto’s locals. Around the corner from The Drake Hotel is a very fun spot to start your day. There is a cool little coffee shop café that also serves as one of the many record stores in the area! Antikka Café & Records is a great spot to pick up the record you have been wanting and a delicious espresso. There is nothing quite like the combo of caffeine and shopping for records, definitely seek this spot out when you are in the city!
Whatever brings you to the 6ix, be it business or pleasure, SWISSGEAR will help you make the most of your trip. SWISSGEAR La Sarinne Collection Carry-On hardside luggage is the ideal piece that infuses style and sturdiness to make your city stay a great one.

We are nearing the end of summer when the mega-heatwaves have subsided, but the weather is still ideal for TO’s outdoor activities. If hockey isn’t your thing, there are tons of reasons to make Toronto your next stay-cation destination. Take in the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) and expand your mind, or visit the Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada for some family fun time.

Hidden Gems Among the Neighbourhoods
Toronto has a rich and varied history, infused with the many cultures represented by those that call the city home. The big attractions may be what brought you to the 6ix, but the charming neighbourhoods have kept you here. The SWISSGEAR 0984 Faux Leather Briefcase will take you out your front door, and down to street level with ease. Its shoulder strap is comfortable enough to make this briefcase easy to carry around as you head out on your excursions or to work. Some of our favourite hotspots include Koreatown (along Bloor between Christie and Bathurst) which is an excellent shopping destination with its many independently-owned boutiques, and Little Portugal (West of downtown) which is the place to be for casual dining.

Urban Greenery
Around the world, Toronto is known as a bit of a concrete jungle, but that simply isn’t true. The city is full of quiet oasis where you can read a book on the grass or explore on a hike with friends. Right in the centre of town is High Park, and less than a kilometre away is the stylish and comfortable Baka Gallery Café where you can choose a steaming cup of coffee from the menu that Toronto’s renowned coffee guru Sam James created to enjoy on the trails that crisscross the entire green space, encouraging visitors to take a nature break among the cherry blossoms and oak savannahs. Across from the Redpath Sugar Refinery is Sugar Beach. It’s speckled with pink umbrellas, white Muskoka chairs, and candy-striped rocks, giving it a whimsical yet calming vibe. If you’ve got some energy to burn and are looking to get moving, there are plenty of opportunities on Toronto Island. How ever you choose to get around, use your SWISSGEAR 2706 Backpack to carry everything you need for a day trip. Its padded back panel with breathable lining will keep you comfortable and fresh as you get acquainted with Hogtown, T.O, Ontario’s Capital, Hollywood North, Queen City, T-Dot, home of Drake: the 6ix! Not only is Toronto limited to the city itself but the whole GTA (Greater Toronto Area) has so much to offer. From Mississauga to Markham there is much more to see, eat and venture safely in our post-Covid new-normal era. In celebration of International Coffee Day coming up this season, our favourite GTA hotspot is Mississauga’s The Olive Tree Delicafé on Derry Road. Featuring friendly service that offers an energizing cup of fair-trade coffee, we don’t fret the upcoming Fall season.
