    The western invasion: Toronto's new restaurant kings

    ^ well, if she can't handle high heels, then quit and find another serving job. There are plenty of places which allow flat shoes. You can't expect businesses to change their job requirements or the entire business model to suit you, can you? It is like working for hooter's and expect to be...

    Restaurant Tipping Etiquette

    I am from a non-tipping culture and every time I travel in Europe, I felt "free" - the price you see is the price you pay, not 30% more. In Europe only in Albania is tipping obligatory like in North America. People simply don't tip unless it is only rounding up. For example, if the bill is $19...

    Toronto 101 Spadina Avenue | 133.95m | 39s | Devron Developments | AUDAX

    I wanted to move to a smaller and slower paced city. That's what I like about it. I have no overseas money btw. Brought two suitcases and maybe $8000 when I arrived in Canada.

    Toronto Union Pearson Express | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | MMM Group Limited

    I don't want the UP fare to be so low that you can't have a seat any more. Nor do I want more stops, which will kill its usefulness. Lowering fare may not bring more revenue either. The current pricing seems reasonable. It is not a subway so get over it.

    Toronto Dragon Condos | 37.49m | 10s | Ideal Developments | IBI Group

    No matter what people say I think it is a nice and appropriate addition to the area. Dragon City mall looks very outdated, more like a shopping centre from a third tier Chinese city back in the early 1990s. Need a revo inside and outside.

    10 Dundas East

    There are more Starbucks and timmies too. So what. The one at King is tiny as far as I know.

    10 Dundas East

    I don't mind a winners at all. Saves me a trip to college. Hope this one is big.

    Toronto Union Pearson Express | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | MMM Group Limited

    why would anyone need magazines with 2 month old information when there is wifi onboard. I don't think staff (except for fare validation) is needed.

    Public Square and New Park Design in Toronto

    There is no need to be shy about this. Rising temperature will do far more good to Toronto (maybe not the world) than harm. That's for sure. Being 5 degrees warmer will make a huge positive difference. Imagine no lingering snow in late March and trees turn green by mid April, imagine spending a...

    Toronto 101 Spadina Avenue | 133.95m | 39s | Devron Developments | AUDAX

    Yep. You summed up pretty well here. What's more interesting is that many Torontonians think that's normal: shouldn't parks just be trees, grass and some random path? I had always thought urban parks mean something like Champs de mars or Luxemburg gardens or Buenos Retiro Park until Toronto...

    Toronto 101 Spadina Avenue | 133.95m | 39s | Devron Developments | AUDAX

    Because it is made-in-Toronto. Isn't it most Toronto parks look like? Grange Park, Moss Park, United Church green space, none of them feels beautiful and welcoming. They all have very lazy design and don't make any effort to look attractive or to make people stay. St James Park (and maybe Allen...

    What is gentrification?

    I don't believe this map. According to it, even Chinatown is hip. Horribly boring areas such as Dundas/Bathurst too.

    Toronto 101 Spadina Avenue | 133.95m | 39s | Devron Developments | AUDAX

    I made the description because he said he doesn't like the park 290 metres to the south. If so, why look forward to this one ? I like parks too, just not tiny ones facing a noisy one way street. There are better places to put new green spaces I think.

    Toronto 101 Spadina Avenue | 133.95m | 39s | Devron Developments | AUDAX

    Doesn't mean you will like the new park either. It will be a patch of green space with some grass and maybe seating just like all parks in Tonronto. This hypothetical one won't be different.

    Toronto 101 Spadina Avenue | 133.95m | 39s | Devron Developments | AUDAX

    I agree a small park here is useless except in statistics. It is especially so at this busy intersection involving a one way street. The park will be noisy and unpleasant. I think a midrise building (under 20s) will make far more sense and make Spadina appear more consistent. I wish all two...

    Toronto 2 Queen West | 34.44m | 7s | Cadillac Fairview | Zeidler

    Makes so much sense!
