The financial district is the same as others... big skyscrapers with surfaces that reflect each other,
a big screen blasting ads at the crowds, etc. But it is easy to escape! Chinatown is a good one, with sculptures and street performers. We heard a funk with a tuba, a French horn, a saxophone and drums... really fun. Kensington Market is a spot where there are funky open air shops, including some that are based in old brick houses - clothes stores, cafes, record stores and head shops. One has an ad above the dore -"Serving pot users, since, ahhh, I forget. Like wow, mannn...
Little Italy and Little Portugal are delightful, quiet areas, with very nice brick row houses that sproout great gardens. This is a great city to wander through, full of surprises. More tomorrow.
