18 Small Things All Torontonians Live For

    Nothing tastes better than the first patio beer of year.

    1. Riding one of the new streetcars.

    2. Using one of the diagonal crosswalks.

    3. Getting off the subway and having the escalator be RIGHT THERE.

    4. When part of the subway is shut down for repairs on the weekend and you realize that it's not going to affect you personally.

    5. Seeing a listing for an apartment nearly identical to yours, except the rent is WAY HIGHER.

    6. Being the first to board the ferry to the island.

    7. Watching a movie or TV show and knowing exactly where it was filmed in Toronto.

    8. Eating late-night drunk shawarma.

    9. Standing in front of the "Hotline Bling" jellyfish wall at Ripley's Aquarium.

    10. When it snows during the night and you wake up to the streets and sidewalks already plowed and salted.
