engleton, angleton eggtltlon fuck I dont know
I went to TO when I was 10, then went and got brain dead drunk, then I went for work and didnt saw much of the city. I know it's pretty large so I'll be walking around a lot.

>>6833164
Mars Uptown

>>6833195
Eglinton?

>>6833357
>>6833357
Y-yes...

>>6833164
Go onto dineto

>tfw tried usa mcdonalds and it was absolutely awful compared to canadian mcdonalds

why is this?

>>6833428
Where on Eglinton? It's a big street. Which intersections, which area will you be in? Will you be able to get around the city or are you kind of stuck in that area?

What kind of food do you like?

>>6833459
you cant actually be stuck in an area in toronto, ttc everywhere

>>6833459
Actually I haven't booke the AirBnb yet. Cheapers rooms seem to be scattered in the East end or Northern TO, like near the highway and eglinton. But I plan on walking a lot to discover new places, so the area of the city is not a problem.

>>6833459
Eglinton around Yonge is okay.

Go west of that, Niggers. Great caribbean food.

Go East, boring and spaced out. That street sucks.

Stay on Danforth if you can. Really nice street, and the subway runs along it.

Porchetta & Co.

Fucking delicious. Kinda pricey for sandwiches (8-13$ depending what u get) but holy fuck they're good.

top kek. what the fuck kind of name is that?

>>6833164
Go anywhere around the College and Spadina area for awesome bars. For awesome if a little sketchy rock n roll check out the Bovine Sex Club or for something more upscale (but still grimy/sketchy) check out cherry cola's. The place has kind of a hidden enterance though, it's down on bathurst just north of queen and looks like pic related on the outside. It's pretty based. Sneaky Dee's is also pretty based, in general around bathurst or spadina south is where you will find the best bars IMO.

For food it honestly depends where you are staying. Toronto is HUGE and the best places are going to be little mom and pop shops serving good ethnic food. We have AMAZING Jamaican/west indian food, if you get a chance try Hakka cuisine, it's kind of like a mix of Chinese and Jamaican and it is DELICIOUS.

Downtown has its spots but it's mostly stupid-ass hipster cafes serving gay ass fusion food that doesn't even make sense. It's all really pretentious and the shit like Burger Priest and Bahn Mi Boys is just overrated hipster slop.

>BONUS ROUND
The legal last call in Ontario is 2 AM. However, if you go into the right Chinese restaurant on Spadina (I know Canton Chili has it, probably others too) and sit down, the waiter will ask if you want "cold tea". If you say yes he will bring beer in a little teapot and you drink it out of the little tea glasses. It's 10 bucks a teapot and I think they are open until 5 or 6 in the morning. Just don't be pushy about the cold tea, and you have to order food with it or they won't serve it to you.

>>6835041
forgot pic. This is Cherry Cola's and it's exact location is on bathurst just north of Queen. The inside looks like some kind of high class 1930s opium den and the music/people are awesome. Rockstarry as FUCK

>>6835048
my buddies band plays here all the time. I think the owners name is Cherry

>>6835048
inside of cherry cola's

>>6834781
Alright, if you want Indian food, go to Gerrard and Coxwell. That's in the east end, and is where little India begins. Lots of awesome Indian food, including Paan and some delicious vegetarian options. You can take the 506 Carleton streetcar to get there.

If you want weird little cafes and south american food, go to Kensington Market, which is just north of Queen st. West. Google maps it. This area is nice to wander around in.

You'll find a smattering of good restaurants on QueenWest on your way to Kensington, so maybe it's worth walking instead of taking the streetcar.

Also, if you want Chinatown, that's at Queen W. and Spadina. Also on the way from downtown to Kensington.

If you're an early-bird, go to the St. Lawrence market. It's a five-minute walk east of Union Station and has an amazing selection of fresh foods. There's a meat stand on the second floor that sells exotic stuff like emu, alligator, etc., and there's a seafood restaurant upstairs that has a mean lobster bisque. You can find anything at the St. Lawrence Market, so go a couple of times if you can.

NEAT!

>>6833428
Go to Tabule, it's off Yonge St between Eglinton and Davisville stations. Very cheap and good for sharing. Nice cocktails.

Go to the Hasty Market at 662 Burnhamthorpe Rd
Etobicoke, ON M9C 2Z4

Get a beef patty on a bun

>>6835932

>>6835932
yuh battyboy fiyah pon ya dutty self

Warden Station
Best beef patties in the whole city.
Bar none.

Or go to the patty king factory by scarborough town centre and pick up a box of firsts. Toast in toaster over not microwave like an autist.

>>6836007
Warden stn has the best chow mein noodles! Get them to put the jerk gravy on them.

>>6835949
WTF that's like a hamburger in a bun!

OP!! Get a gyro from Alexandros on Danforth. My fave! This area in general has the best greek food outside of Greece....so enjoy. But you must promise to go get a gyro here. The pita they use is so soft and fresh, almost like dough. Post updates when you are here.

>>6836241
OP here, I'm from Greektown, Quebec. The game is on, Chomedey Gyros vs Alexandros Gyros.

>>6836259
alright, we are on!
Just got back from Montreal last week. Ever go to Maam Balduc? Some serious poutine

>>6836259
You better do a follow up thread if this one 404s. I wanna know what gyro wins....

The Tim Hortons near Royal York-Bloor always has a bunch of high schoolers dealing various drugs and raising hell if you're into that kinda shit

>>6833164
burger priest had the best burger I've ever had

also, there's a chipotle near the cn tower

>>6836447

It's not working for tomorrow night with airbnb, so I'll report my TO safari in another thread later this week.

>>6839639
Bummer man

>>6834879
No No No

Coffee: Voodoo Child (Between Bathurst and Spadina on College)

Cheap Eats: Paramount Fine Foods right across from the Eaton Centre or 7 Lives in Kennsington Market

Bars. Bar Volo on Yonge just north of Wellesley or Barhop at King and Spadina

Steak: The Harbord Room or Museum Tavern... Barbarians is good though

Sushi: Wow Sushi close to Charles and Yonge

Is Kaplansky's deli worth the detour?

>>6833443
They use a shitload of lower quality ingredients because of no regulations or some shit

>>6839793
No. Their smoked meat isn't very good same with the fried chicken. The tower of Kaplansky is an OK breakfast item...

I like Cora better. They are all over the city.

>>6839797
Yup, same with the cigarettes

>>6833164

Eglinton & Younge, 4 days starting tomorrow!
BTW Palace arms seems like a great homeless kingdom!

>>6835025
It's one of the big names in French literature bro!
Like one of the top 5 of all time.
Kind of a Shake-Spear of french lit!
>Worth reading/10

Okay, me here again....regular poster with the Gyro battle.

Another place I suggest... The Stockyards 1980 St Clair Ave West. St Clair West is Corso Italia neighbourhood, so its worth a visit.

Research that restaurant and you will see what I mean.

Hell yeah, toronto!

Even if it's a pretentious shit, blog.to is a good place to get specific suggestions for food and any other store type.

Someone suggested imperial pub... used to work there, ordinary kitchen, ordinary beer, but I guess its old enough to be cool.
Walk around spadina, dipping west into Kensington, cheap eats and a nice bohemian vibe. There was a big fire there recently though, not sure if shit is shut down.
Entertainment district in south downtown has some cool bars if you avoid the clubs.
Check out Spirithouse, off Adelaide. They've tacked on some stupid pub shit, but you want to go to the back half. Damn good cocktails.

Finally, don't be afraid to venture out of the downtown area. You can get a day pass for the ttc for like 10 bucks, ride unlimited, the train and streetcars will get you anywhere you want to go.

>>6840357
>Shake-Spear
Truly a literary connoisseur.

>>6840770

Kensington Market never closed. The fire was just in a house on a side street.

And Blog.to is shit. Absolute shit....

Spirithouse is great though! Good call on that, forgot that.
