Toronto, Canada
Toronto's luxury district. Designer shopping, expensive restaurants, very safe. You'll pay a premium for everything.
Yorkville has designer shops, expensive hotels, and high-end restaurants. Tree-lined streets between Bloor and Davenport with patios and galleries. You'll see hotel doormen, security guards, police around regularly. Staff speak English and deal with international clients. The crowd is older and wealthier - business people, tourists with money, locals who can spend $20 on a cocktail. Well-lit at night but quiets down after 11pm. Everything costs more here than other neighborhoods.
