| How To Get To Distillery District By Subway |
Step 1: Embrace the Bloor Line
First things first, you gotta get yourself on the Bloor-Yonge Line, the blue and green wonder that streaks through the heart of Toronto. Look for the bold, blue signs with a friendly looking "Y" – that's your ticket to Distillery District delights. Now, depending on where you're starting your adventure, things can get a little interesting...
-
Eastenders: If you're already chilling out east of Distillery District, hop on a westbound train and enjoy the ride! Just sit back, relax, and maybe ponder what kind of artisanal cocktail you'll be sipping later.
-
Westward Wanderers: Coming from the west side? No worries! Catch an eastbound train and watch the city whiz by. Pro tip: Play some dramatic superhero music in your headphones for that extra touch of public transit heroism.
Step 2: Castle Frank Station – Your Launchpad
Tip: Train your eye to catch repeated ideas.
In the glorious tapestry of TTC stations, Castle Frank awaits. This is your official jumping-off point for Distillery District domination. Exit the station, take a deep breath of Toronto air (hopefully it's not rush hour!), and get ready for the next leg of your journey.
Step 3: Conquering the 65A Bus
Behold, the trusty 65A bus! This chariot of public transportation will whisk you away to the promised land of cobblestone streets and craft breweries. Look for the bus stop sign (it's usually a big pole with a white sign...you can't miss it) and wait patiently for your ride. While you wait, consider practicing your "Excuse me, coming through!" for when you inevitably get stuck behind someone with a backpack the size of a small whale.

Step 4: Alight! The Distillery District Awaits!
Keep your eyes peeled for the magical words "Parliament at Front." That, my friends, is your cue to disembark. Hop off the bus, stretch your superhero legs, and take a moment to bask in the glorious arrival. You've made it! The Distillery District is within your grasp.
Bonus Tip: If you're feeling peckish after your adventure, there's a pretty good chance you'll stumble upon a delicious restaurant or bakery on your walk. Just remember, with great public transit victory comes great responsibility...responsibility to treat yourself to a celebratory snack!
