It's been beautiful weather here for a week or more - little or no humidity, blue skies, around 75-80 during the day and cooling down in the evenings so it's lovely to sleep.

The St. Lawrence Market is about a 15 minute walk (no window shopping) from Front and Yonge and the Distillery District is another 10 or so still heading west. From the Delta it would be too far in the cold (speaking for myself) but Toronto Transit would have you down in that area in minutes. Lots of taxis too!
Perhaps staking out a route in the undergound PATH would help to get you down to Yonge & Front:

There's a whole city under Toronto!!

Mid November - hmmm....we generally have no snow to speak of at that time but it's cold for you California, Texas, Florida etc. folks.....

The old bank at the corner of Yonge & Front has some beautiful details outside but when you go inside to the Hockey Hall of Fame http://www.hhof.com/ it's astounding. All the old details are still intact. The real old CUP is kept in one of the vaults! lol. The one they tour with is on display tho.
There are some wonderful tours of Toronto for all different purposes and I know there are some for architecture lovers...There are some pretty nice places - old/new/private homes and otherwise all over the city.
