Name: From Choco Pies to the Grass – Korea Town Walk & Christie Pits Picnic
Start: 2025-06-22T18:00:00.000Z
Location: Arisu

The city gets loud, the week gets long, but just a short ferry ride away, Toronto Island is waiting for us with open skies and calm energy.
Join us for a full afternoon of wandering, connecting, and discovering the islands in full spring bloom. We’ll walk the loop together, take in views of Lake Ontario, pass beaches, bridges, and sleepy cottages, and let the convo flow along the way.

🗓 **The Plan**

* Meet at **Jack Layton Ferry Terminal** at **11:45 AM**
* Take the **12:10 PM ferry** together (buy tickets online through the [City of Toronto site](https://secure.toronto.ca/FerryTicketOnline/tickets2/index.jsp))
* Walk the **entire island loop (\~8 km, easy pace)**
* Stop for pics, chats, and mini breaks
* End the walk at a cozy café or a sunny picnic spot – we’ll decide closer to the date. Options may include:
* [The Riviera + Runaway Cafe](https://g.co/kgs/8DevVWJ)
* [The Island Cafe](https://g.co/kgs/yRpYgxV)

⏰ **Please be on time!**
We’ll gather at 11:45 AM. We **won’t be able to wait past 12:00 PM**, so please plan ahead and arrive early. Late arrivals or messages after that may not be seen, as we’ll already be on the move.

**📋 What to bring**

* Good energy and an open vibe

This is a relaxed, no-pressure hangout. Come solo or bring a friend!

Yalla to the Island – Easy Walk, Late Lunch

jack layton ferry terminal

We’re taking a laid-back stroll through Korea Town to explore its vibrant mix of street food, Korean bakeries, and supermarket snack gems.
We’ll grab whatever looks tasty, whether it’s a hot skewer, a pastry, or a pack of honey butter chips, then head over to Christie Pits Park to kick back, eat, and hang out picnic-style.
This one’s all about food, vibes, and letting the day unfold naturally.

**🧺 What to bring:**

* A blanket to sit comfortably on the grass
* Snacks or drinks if you’d prefer to bring your own
* A card game, portable speaker, or anything you'd like to share
* And of course: your curiosity and your appetite

Whether you're trying something new, swapping bites, or just soaking up the sunshine with the crew, this one's about simple pleasures: good food, good company, and a patch of grass to call ours for a while.
