Hello,
I've never been to toronto before and I'd like to plan an overnight. we are driving thru so ideally I want to stay in a cool hotel and walk to some decent restaurants, etc. shop, maybe see a few sites?
what is a good area to get the general vibe in say 24 hours?
any quick tips and recommendations are appreciated!
My heart is as open as the sky.

2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

If you're anywhere on the metro, you'll be fine. Bloor is the main E-W street on the north side, Queen the main E-W on the south; Spadina's the main N-S on the west side, Yonge the main N-S on the east. Anything within the Bloor-Spadina-Queen-Yonge square is "downtown", heavily covered by public transit (get a day pass - works out more cost effective if you're hopping on & off more than 3 times), and has most of the stuff you'd want to see.
Depending on what kind of food you're after, there's some great stuff - on Bloor close to Yonge, across from the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum), there's a great breakfast joint called Over Easy, and a fantastic pho place called Pho Hung. There are a few Korean BBQ restaurants, one on Yonge south of Bloor and one on Queen west of Yonge.
You can also walk around the University of Toronto campus; a lot of TV shows are filmed in Toronto and use chunks of U of T & all of Toronto for filming sites (Blood Ties, Warehouse 13, Covert Affairs just to name 3 I remember off the top of my head).
The Eaton Centre is a mall that has 2 subway stops, more or less one on each end (the subway down Yonge - Queen is one end, I can't remember the other end) - it's a HUGE mall.
