So I'm going to Toronto in the morning.

[Sideburnious 0]

Yeah, so it turns out I'm going to Toronto in the morning (as a bit of a Bday present).

What are the cool spots to check out? Bars, restaurants, games shops, cd shops.

 

Primarily where's the nearest cougar bar to the airport?

 

Oh, and does anyone know if this place any good?

[bob_barron 0]

You can hang with me!

[Guest Fook]

Try going to Crocadile Rock if you want cougars.

Kensington Market has a great European flavour to it.

 

I'm not sure exactly where you wuld buy them, but if you have the means, I highly suggest a Jamaican Patty from a street vendor.

 

Barron, is that giant Sam The Record Man on Yonge still around?

Sam the Record Man sucks. Overpriced motherfuckers.

 

And we just got a Best Buy too!

Go to a Jays game. They're playing the Yankees starting Monday, so there should be a good amount of people there giving it a nice atmosphere.

I find the giant HMV on Yonge better than the giant Sam on Yonge.

The Elephant and Castle is a really nice bar located across the street from Union Station. If you're around the University of Toronto campus then I'd recommend hitting up O'Grady's tap and grill, located on the corner of College and McCall.

[Lt. Al Giardello 0]

Honestly, there's nothing really special about Toronto.

 

If you wanna have a fun time, Montreal is much better.

[Lord of The Curry 0]

Montreal doesn't have The Hotbox Cafe, thus making it inferior to Toronto.

 

Montreal is a better party city and has hotter women but that's the only thing it beats Toronto on.

I haven't been to the Hotbox Cafe yet, are you actually allowed to smoke weed there?

[Lord of The Curry 0]

Yup. They've had a long-standing agreement with the local cops that nobody starts shit or does it off the property and they're good. Plus, who's ever heard of a fight breaking out at a weed cafe? Everybody is too focused on getting a smoothie.

HMV has a better selection, but it's overpriced as well. Sunrise Records and Best Buy are the two places to check out.

Damn. I'm going to have to go there when I go to Toronto in the fall.

[Lord of The Curry 0]

Once you get to Kensington Market just find Baldwin St. and the Roach-A-Rama head shop. The cafe is located in the back. Bring ID and (obviously) weed because fishing will get you the boot.

[bob_barron 0]

I think I've been to Roach-a-Rama, don't know about the Hot Box.

[Red Baron 0]

You have to get a hotdog from a Vendor outside the Skydome. Go towards Gate 5/6 Area. Best hot dogs in the city.

So yeah, I've been hanging around for the last couple of days. Its a pretty cool city, and at least it's been good weather (for most of it).

 

I decided to go to Unforgiven the night I arrived (as it was on, I haven't followed in a while) it was good fun and the first WWE event I've been to. Followed that up last night with the Maple Leafs game. Again, a great expierience, but most of the audience were pretty pissed off about it.

I think I'm going to try and get tickets to that myspace blackcarpet Borat screening tomorrow.I was going to catch it in Dublin, but seeing its on the sameday, I have no problem seeing it here. It'll probably be harder to get a ticket here though. I think I'll try and catch a few concerts and a show at the Second City too. Anyone know if the current show is any good?

 

As far as the whole cd shop thing: I liked the layout of Sam the Record man, saw some good stuff but yeah, a bit overpriced. I've seen better HMV's too. Where is the Best Buy? Is that on Yonge St. too? I'm positive I saw one last night when I was walking, but I couldn't see it today. The best place I've found so far for cd's is some second hand store between bloor st. and queen st. (as you can tell, I haven't ventured far from the subway line/ yonge st.)

 

Oh and those hotdogs do kick ass. I put too much shit on mine though, and found green shit all over my wallet today. As in terms of Pizza: where is the best place? Is Pizza pizza really the best? I had it today, and it was great, but just incase mamma's or somewhere else was better.

 

(and I'd hang with Barron, he can be my wing man).

[Lt. Al Giardello 0]

Have you been to the Hockey Hall of Fame yet?

[Lord of The Curry 0]

Pizza Pizza is pretty fuckin generic shit. D'Amatos is the best, IMO.

[treble 0]

Yeah, Pizza Pizza kinda sucks.

[CanadianGuitarist 0]

This is not a knock on street meat, but try a Jamaican Patty. Trust me. Also, I'd recommend Pizza Nova. Pizza Pizza is pretty good, but from a chain that big, there's nothing out of the ordinary.

 

Is the film festival still going on?

[bob_barron 0]

The Best Buy is on Bay and Dundas to the right of the Eaton Centre.

 

I like Pizza Pizza, their bacon cheesburger pizza is ace. I did have D'Amatos on Sunday and it was really good.

 

The film fest ended on Saturday

There is no D' in Amatos..

 

 

That said, Amatos is great but Papa Ceo's is by far the best pizza in Toronto. The slices are absolutely gigantic and they are more generous with the toppings than Amatos is.

 

Pizza Pizza is fine for what it is - inexpensive, widely available, and not greasy at all. Mama's Pizza is also a good alternative that is widely available.

 

Pizza Nova, akin to Pizza Hut, is greasy and disgusting.

Given that I'm very short, that's not a surprise.

Nah, I'm just saying. Assuming that was you I thought I saw a week ago coming out of a Wendy's near Yonge/College - really, who else wears their hats like that?? I always thought you'd be a tall lanky guy, at least 6'.

[bob_barron 0]

That was me, since I go that Wendy's all the time.

 

And someone thought I was 6'? Lolz!
