"Toronto’s Chinatown is a neighborhood that has historically been home to immigrants from Hong Kong and China. Most businesses in the neighborhood, including medical centers and banks, offer services in Chinese languages. Chinatown is best explored on foot, allowing you to pop into the various shops and wander past street vendors. Mother Dumplings is a popular spot for dumplings, and Rol San for Sunday dim sum. On the outskirts of Chinatown is the Art Gallery of Ontario, which displays a variety of genres, including the works of emerging First Nations artists. Hot tip: The AGO is free on Wednesday nights." - MATADOR_NETWORK
