How to make friends in Toronto as a newcomer or visitor
Toronto is one of the world's most multicultural cities — every neighbourhood is a different country.
Top 3 things to do — and how to turn them into plans
- 1
Kensington Market food crawl
The city's most eclectic neighbourhood, best grazed with company. On Sidecar, you can post exactly this as a plan — or join someone else's.
- 2
Toronto Islands picnic
A short ferry to the city's backyard. On Sidecar, you can post exactly this as a plan — or join someone else's.

St. Lawrence Market Saturday
The historic food market is a weekend ritual. On Sidecar, you can post exactly this as a plan — or join someone else's.
Sidecar is for locals meeting locals, travellers meeting locals, and fellow travellers meeting each other. Friends only.
Eat around the world
A food crawl through Kensington Market or a dumpling run in Chinatown is the natural first plan.
Use the islands and ravines
Toronto Islands picnics and ravine walks are classic group outings.
Follow your interests
Board-game cafés, skating, markets and a huge arts scene welcome newcomers.
