Writer/editor Yuki Hayashi’s fave Toronto experiences centre around eating and outdoor fun. “I love to carb load on sushi, bibimbap, noodles or pasta in Koreatown, Chinatown or along Queen Street West. I’m also an avid lake swimmer and enjoy taking my dog to the leash-free areas at Cherry Beach and High Park,” she says. Secret Toronto spot: “Omusubi Bar Suzume at Market 707, for home-style Japanese comfort food.”
