Friday night, July 18
Local Cytoscape staff will lead groups of interested attendees to Toronto cool neighborhoods and sights. Once there, you will be free to hang out - no specific activities are planned.
Note: We will provide public transit tokens to help you get there, but once you are there, you are free to roam and will have to find your way home - so make sure you have a map if you need one 
The Royal Ontario Museum (Lead: Chris Tan)
Little Italy (Lead: Daniele Merico)
As the name tells, little Italy used to be a mainly Italian neighborhood. The part on College St is highly enriched in restaurants, bars, cafes, pubs etc..., so it's a good place to hang out (or watch soccer matches, provided you support Italy of course). BR You can find out more at: BR http://www.torontotourism.com/Visitor/WhatToSeeAndDo/Neighbourhoods/LittleItaly.htm BR http://littleitaly.sites.toronto.com/index.html
The aim of the expedition will be to go to Dolce (Eng: "sweet") and get a gelato (Eng: "ice cream") 
BR In case anybody wants to get there on his own, or check out the area, the address is 679A, College Street.
PS: the neighborhood is NOT run by mafia, please forget about Sopranos..
The Distillery District (Lead: Shirley Hui)
The Distillery District is a historic site of what was the Gooderham and Worts distillery and North America’s best preserved collection of Victorian industrial architecture. It is located to the east of downtown Toronto and today it is the home of internationally acclaimed galleries, theatres, restaurants, cafes and boutique retailers.
