Top 5 Romantic Date Spots in Toronto- #3: Harbourfront

Today’s romantic date spot is at another outdoor venue. Today we’re talking Toronto’s Harbourfront where you can partake in different festivals for free every spring, summer and early fall. It’s great for the dater on a budget and for that person looking to try something new.
     My boyfriend and I have done this date a couple times and it never fails to impress me. Once we saw a bad busker who dressed up as an angel and did that thing where he only moves if you put money in his cup. This angel, however, moved all the time and looked very bored, yet frustrated that nobody was impressed with how he didn’t move some of the time. We also saw someone performing magic tricks, and a couple of bands playing for decently sized crowds. Both were exciting, interesting, and better than the angel-dude.
      In the summer it can get hot, so we travelled across the street to an ice cream shop and tried some new flavours. That’s double the fun because you feel like on top of trying different food from little stands on the harbour, you get to cool off with new creamy flavours of heaven. Maybe the man-angel was fidgeting because he needed ice cream…
     I personally find waterfronts to be romantic, but that could just be the Jack Sparrow part of me talking. I find the sound of water splashing around is so peaceful, yet the smell of it is so smelly. The stentch is essential to the experience because it gives you both something to complain about. How romantic is that?
     You know what it is? You’re near the water, which gives you all of the sensory impressions of being on a boat, and then you go and eat different food from around the world which gives you the impression you’re travelling. That means you’re taking a simulated trip with your sweetie around the world in only a few hours without any jetlag. Sexy!
     Then you have a taste of ice cream heaven, and see an angel and you think you’ve died! Morbid! Romantic! Sexy-Depressing!
