Compare and Contrast

My last post on Toronto.  Compare the Toronto and New York "Walk" signs.  One looks eager, the other grimly determined.  (I don't have to tell you which is which.)

Toronto has versions of just about every cultural and fun attraction one could find in the NYC area, except within a smaller area, surrounded by smaller crowds, made up of more-relaxed people.  So it's sort of a distilled and sweeter version of NYC.  I'd say New York is to Toronto as a full-bodied red wine is to sherry. 

(Sherry is not actually distilled wine, but you get the idea.)
