Spend the first day (or whichever day has better weather) walking by the Harbourfront. Spots like St. Lawrence Market are great for food, grabbing souvenirs, and sitting down to rest. Hockey fans and train fans will love the Hockey Hall of Fame and Railway Museum respectively. Of course, the CN Tower is a must-visit for spectacular views of Toronto and Lake Ontario. Finish off the day at the Distillery District, where you can grab (more) food and try out local beers.
One of the places to eat if you're in Toronto. Famous for their burger and lemon meringue pie, but their entire menu is incredible. Better to make a reservation a couple weeks in advance for dinner, but we were able to walk in for lunch with about a 30m wait.
Totally open train museum, depicting an older Toronto that served as a major railway hub in Canada. They've even kept one of those train turntables outside! Right next to the CN Tower, so good chance you'll end up here.
Take the bus down to the Distillery District, where you can check out local shops, eats, and brews.

Day 2: Museums, Downtown
This day's better for rainier, overcast days if you run into poor weather. Museum lovers will love the selection of museums in Downtown Toronto, starting from the incredible architecture of Casa Loma to the T-Rex exhibit in the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM). Along the way, check out some incredible food by campus and end the day in Yonge-Dundas Square, the "Times Square" of Toronto.
A little niche, but fans of Kim's Convenience will love visiting the actual shop from the show. Upon entering, the shop owner greeted me with, "Looking for Jung?" An absolute hidden gem if you manage to make your way to this part of town.
