Located between two subway stations and opposite Yonge & Dundas Sq, downtown Toronto's largest shopping mall has branches of almost every large retailer in North America, and some not-so-well-known local stores. Constantly full of people milling about and thinning their wallets, its enormous light-filled atrium is a haven on cold winter days. The Urban Eatery food court gets packed at lunchtime.
