When I had a quick, last minute trip to Toronto for work I didn't have much time to plan. Especially when I was going during a massive conference week and nearly all hotel rooms were booked.  So I looked up a few touristy activities and timing but nothing else.

I also didn't know my chosen hotel was more like a dorm, and it wasn't recommended to drink
