Getting Around Toronto
Downtown city streets are laid out in a grid format.
• Main streets such as University, Bay, Yonge, Jarvis and Sherbourne run north-south.
• Others streets such as King, Queen, Dundas, College/Carlton, Wellesley and Bloor run east-west.
• Yonge Street is the dividing line between the east and west sides of the city. Lake Ontario lies to the south.

Finding an Address
Once you understand the grid, finding a street number is relatively easy if you know the closest main intersection.
• For streets running north-south (Yonge & Bay Sts.), numbering begins at the lake and rises as you travel north.
• Even numbers are on the west side of the street; odd numbers are on the east side.
• For streets running east-west (King & Bloor Sts.) the numbering system begins at Yonge Street and gets higher as you walk west towards Bay or east towards Jarvis.

Michelin Guide for Toronto
I first used a Michelin Guide in Italy in 1963. This is the best there is if you want to be sure you don't miss out on anything of interest or importance. I used Michelin for 30 years living in Europe. Now living in Florida, the state guide is incredibly accurate and complete. Same applies to all the other US ones. Some find it too comprehensive, but you can choose what to read and ignore some details. Be sure you will never miss out on any place of importance with a Michelin.
