The gay district along Rue St-Catherine Est at Rue Montcalm. Many hot people there of both sexes (and all genders).
Rue St Denis is good for shopping, walking, etc. But the city centre is a bit grim - the buildings are ugly (at least to refined European tastes; North Americans seem to think it's pretty high-falutin'), it's really busy and the shopping is dominated by big, boring chain names. On the other hand, I did go into a good games arcade there, so if that's your thing...
If you're feeling like architecture geekiness, walking along the river front is good. There's a cool Le Corbusier-inspired apartment complex at Avenue Pierre Dupuy called Habitat '67 (if you don't want to walk, look at it from across the river at Rue de le Commune Ouest).
The city is quite spread out: the main shopping along St Catherine Est runs about the same distance as the shopping does along Yonge Street (Front Street up to Bloor, basically). So prepare yourself for a fair amount of walking.
