I'm using the Yonge corridor because I'm comparing apples-apples; i.e. the most desirable inner city geographies in the respective cities.
I don't understand the point. No one in Chicago would call Lincoln Park the most "urban, dense, culturally relevant, heavily visited" either. Rich neighborhoods tend to be kinda boring.
But if you wanna compare, say, Queen West to Wicker Park, I think you'll also see differences in street level form. The overall point is that Toronto and Chicago don't look very similar from the ground.

Um, yea a lot of Chicagoans of a certain demographic would categorize Lincoln Park that way. It's certainly urban and dense and has it's share of nightlife, including one of the city's top restaurants (Alinea)

that's why your idea of "favored quarters" makes no sense. Is Lincoln Park the "favored quarter"? By whom?
