Feeling kind of guilty over how much of Toronto I haven't seen. (apartment, neighborhood)

So, I arrived on Tues. around 6pm, but I have spent most of my time in Downtown Toronto. I got as far as Ossington though, walking from Bloor and Yonge, and I also walked from King to Wellesley on Yonge. I don't consider this much. I always criticize people that come to my city and only stay in Manhattan or a certain section of Manhattan and don't see the other boros. Is there anything cool to see in any other parts of Toronto?
I will be leaving for Montreal and Vancouver soon, but will be back on the 2nd of August and staying in an apartment around Keele (I guess that is further than I've seen so far). What's that neighborhood like b.t.w.?
What I'm asking is for any new areas of interest though, if you can please recommend any. I've already seen commercial areas. Are there any gems hidden among these other areas which are 90% residential, but may have something you just gotta go to that neighborhood for?
There's tons to see. Just look through other posts in this forum. Kensington Market, Greektown, Little Italy, Queen St. West, Old Toronto, St. Lawrence Market (especially tomorrow morning), Cabbagetown, Ossington between Queen St. And Dundas West, Parkdale, Chinatown should be enough to cover for now. Toronto's many attractions are pretty diffused.
BTW, National Geographic just rated St. Lawrence Market the best market in the world, and it's at it's liveliest on Saturday mornings.
What exactly is "western standard" in relation to the rating of food markets, BTW?
It is the national geographic, do you think it will rate anything Chinese or Indian as the "world's" best? It is from the eyes of western journalists and based on typical western preference.
I myself consider this kind of ranking to be completely meaningless, at least for non-western people, which is the majority of the world. This is why I say it is the best western market by western standard.
It is like for a Canadian to determine the best restaurant in the "world", almost meaningless.
I am just tired of white people deciding what is the "world's" best from their limited and high-biased point of view.
I will judge the market for myself. Does it stand up against Tsukiji in Tokyo? We'll see. Also, I did research before I came, unfortunately, most of my research was for Montreal.
