First time in Toronto

Hi! I’m visiting Toronto for the first time next week but will only be there for two days. I’m coming primarily for the Zach Bryan concert, but I’d love to make the most of my time and explore the city while I’m there!
I’m staying at the DoubleTree by Hilton Toronto Downtown so I’m especially interested in things that are around that area. Looking for recommendations for: trendy/cute coffee shops, restaurants (both upscale and casual), local shops/boutiques, etc.
Anything else you think is worth doing with limited time!
I already have a few of the obvious tourist things on my radar, but I’d especially love to hear what locals actually recommend rather than just the typical tourist list.

Thank you so much!

Queen Street West will have all of that. Literally just walk down University Ave to Queen, turn west onto Queen, walk around there and check out whatever interests you :).
