First, spend a bit of time on Google Maps (or Microsoft's "Virtual Earth") to get a basic layout of the downtown area so that you have a head start on knowing your way around a bit. Next, go to the TTC website (Toronto Transit Commission) www.ttc.ca and learn the subway routes around the downtown area. Check out www.toronto.com which is one of the best websites for where to eat (any type of food in the world is available here in Toronto), it also lists directories to museums & galleries, what events are taking place around town on a given day or week, the music & movie scene etc. A good "touristy" website is www.123toronto.com/sightseeing.htm which highlights all the main places to see and do. When you arrive in town pick up a copy of "NOW" Magazine (it's free in newspaper boxes all over downtown every Thursday) and it will also give you a comprehensive guide to "what's on" in the city for music, arts, festivals, film, club scene etc.
Good luck and enjoy your trip to Toronto!
