There are cities that never sleep. Well, Toronto isn't one of them. The city starts to doze off around 11:30pm, even on weekends. Sure, there are 24-hour doughnut shops, but if you're looking for something more substantial, try one of the following late-night options:
Caribbean Roti Corner, 607 Queen St. W. (tel. 416/504-9558), provides takeout dishes of jerk chicken, rice and peas, and meaty stews until 4am on weekends. Subway: Osgoode, then streetcar west to Spadina Ave.
Happy Seven serves reliable Chinese food in a kitschy setting until 5am.
7 West Café, 7 Charles St. W. (tel. 416/928-9041), is open 24 hours a day. Delish sandwiches and pasta platters hit the spot. Those with severe sugar cravings can indulge in cakes and pies from several of the city's best bakers. Subway: Yonge/Bloor.
If you're on the Danforth, you're in luck: Many of the terrific Greek tavernas and restaurants there, like Myth, Octavia, and Christina's, stay open until the wee hours even on weeknights.
