[Lifestyle] Instagrammable Spots in Toronto
At the time of this post (Aug 4, 2020), Toronto recently entered into Stage 3 where prior restrictions placed by the government were loosened and public spaces & businesses re-opened. Many were closed during the pandemic lockdown that started in mid-March. Please follow public health advice as they are necessarily put in place to keep everyone safe, and keep your distance from other people. Also, a friendly reminder to be respectful if you're planning on taking photos because most places on this list are businesses - and not places to loiter.
COPS DOUGHNUTS
COPS Doughnuts' exterior and interior fit my feed aesthetic perfectly with their light shade of white and pink. Definitely stop by for their doughnuts, and while you are there, you can take a photo at their pastel pink wall.

The University of Toronto (St. George) is my alma mater. I have been on campus a few times since I graduated in 2009, and it's a great place to walk around. When I was a student here, I didn't take the time to explore the campus so didn't see the beauty of it. Looking back, it's actually a great campus for photography in general. There are plenty of eye-catching buildings like Robarts Library, Knox College, and Convocation Hall. There are even cherry blossom trees in front of Robarts Library during the Springtime.

Nathan Phillips Square is an urban plaza in Toronto, ON. It forms the forecourt to Toronto City Hall, or New City Hall, at the intersection of Queen Street West and Bay Street. It's very close to Eaton's Center and hosts several public events throughout the years. Here you will find the large Toronto sign in front of City Hall, which is very popular with locals and tourists alike.

Kensington Market is often considered as one of the best street markets in North America. The neighborhood is home to several independent shops, cafes, restaurants, and storefronts. One of the standouts in terms of aesthetics is probably the Cocktail Emporium. The drink and cocktail retailer is housed in the cutest pink building, and its decor has a very vintage vibe.
