This talented actor is just one of many
who spend time on movie sets in Toronto, And when the cameras
are off, he hits the town. Here's a weekend with Wesley
Snipes in the city they call Hollywood North.
As the third most popular place to shoot films in North America,
Toronto has seen its share of movie stars. Among them is Wesley
Snipes, best known for his work in pictures like New Jack City,
White Men Can't Jump, and the recent Blade II. Though he was born
in Orlando, grew up in New York, and now makes L.A. his home, the
40-year-old actor fell in love with the comely Canadian city while
shooting several of his more than 25 films there. Here's where
Wesley Snipes hangs out in Toronto when the cameras aren't
rolling.

Lodging
"Le Royal Meridien King Edward is hands-down the number-one spot
for me to stay in Toronto. The interior has massive marble columns
and a skylight in the lobby. The 'King Eddy' is close to all spots
downtown and has a great staff and excellent service. Another hotel
is the Four Seasons in Yorkville, the Rodeo Drive of Toronto. The
rooms are spectacular, with a residential feel. Its Lobby Bar is
well-known for afternoon teas, although I haven't done that yet.
The Avenue is a lounge within the hotel, where people go to just
hang and have well-made beverages."
