The spring weather is looking promising for the upcoming weekend which means it's a great time to grab your partner and celebrate date night in Toronto.
Going out can get expensive, and if spending big bucks isn't in your budget right now, there are some great options out there that'll let you get in some romance with your significant other without breaking the bank.
On the other hand, if you do have some extra funds at the moment, you might want to go a bit more luxe and shell out on a special occasion.
