Luckee is not bad but extremely overpriced due to its location. In Scarborough and Markham, you can have the same Dim Sum for literally half of the price. If you have a car, you should try Dragon Boat in Richmond Hill or Crown Prince in Scarborough. They are of fantastic value, which is probably...

I agree. The thing is, one is easy to make the mistake of comparing a cheap Chinese restaurant where average spending is $18 to a Japanese/Italian one where one spends $45. That's just not fair. Even in GTA, there are plenty of fine dining Chinese restaurants where one can have an enjoyable...

I am not here to be "liked". but it is off topic. I will not respond to such irrelevant nonsense. Enjoy your likes though.

to the OP, the kind of Chinese food available to Torontonians in downtown is worse than mediocre by Chinese standards. So whatever impression that leaves on you doesn't come anywhere close to what Chinese food is. As a Chinese, I can't recommend one single Chinese restaurant downtown because...

not if the apartment is 600m. Try to convince me Chicago Spire never caught any attention of the media outside Chicago. The 630m Shanghai Tower didn't just go up unnoticed either. A 300m apartment is just another apartment. A 600m one is not. Let's not be disingenuous. Height matters, but 340m...

I know people like to play this "Toronto is Toronto, we don't care what the rest of the world thinks of us" game. Cliché, phony indeed because we all know it is not true. Additionally, when I said nobody outside Canada, actually outside Toronto would care precisely because in the grand scheme of...

I wouldn't call that "positive attention" if these people can't come up with a logic explanation why 341m is superior to a 304m one. It is more like a negative obsession. And trust me, I do like impressively tall buildings but the 37m difference involved here makes close to zero difference...

I guess anything that does not specifically caters to the gay population is considered straight. I am typing on my straight computer right now for example. joke aside, gentrification of Church street is inevitable. It is too centrally located, and with our pathetic subway system, people want to...

except a 341m tower will receive no more "positive attention" than a 304m tower whatsoever. Actually, nobody will pay any attention to a 341m tower because of its height (for other reasons, yes). If tomorrow Toronto decides to increase this tower to 441m, I am sure no newspaper outside Canada...

Kicking out the armoury would be the best scenario as it is the best eyesore for both Queen East and Jarvis. If the city wants to build more parks, there are plenty of surface parking on both sides of Church street available for acquisition. I walked there yesterday and the number still...

If you want to drag me into this and somehow humiliate me, at least read my previous posts carefully. In exactly where did I show the slightest "height obsession"? I specifically said I don't care if this building is reduced to 200m as long as it is a nice designed one, and laughed at those who...

TREB is pretty absurd. King East has a completely different vibe and probably demographic from Queen East between Yonge and DVP. King/Parliament is more similar to St Lawrence market area than Moss Park. It is a completely gentrified if not posh area. I would consider Moss Park to be bound by...

Can I say although quite close, Princess/Adelaide is not part of Moss Park neighhourbood, and indeed is completely different from it. The entire Adelaide East is different from Queen East (east of Church st). You have to go north of Richmond at least to be in Moss Park and feel the poverty and...

Why are you so easily hurt? I only stated the facts 1) Y/B is not the most important intersection in Canada; 2) two subways don't make a "transit hub" 3) 341m was never a impressive height. Any of these wrong? If you consider this Toronto bashing, well, you need to see a therapist. I totally...

it is not exactly accurate and you guys are stretching it. From what I see, there are still more Chinese restaurants between University and Yonge than Japanese retail. Several Korean restaurants too. This stretch is hardly dominated by Japanese business (even including Japanese restaurants run...

Don't be so dramatic. Y/B is hardly Canada's most important intersection， because of what? Two subway stations? Come on. I have seen interchange stations for four or five lines and nobody attach so much importance to them. It is not a business centre nor a retail centre so what makes it so...

not allowing dogs isn't necessarily less inclusive. I love dogs, don't get me wrong, but in allowing all sorts of dogs letting them pretty much dominate AG you exclude people who just want some quiet moment in a nice garden without constant animal barking nearby too. Your argument is like...

Fair enough. I don't doubt your life in Leaside, many in Barrie/Mississauga can do the same too if they happen to live close to a mall. However I am not sure how many in Leaside can lead a car free life. What I suggested is Leaside is not a city on its own, and its build form isn't ideal for...

And people tried to convince me Leaside is "urban" with walkable lifestyle.

being 37 meters shorter really means nothing. In reality a 341m tower impresses nobody in today's world and Toronto will never be a city famous for supertalls. What matters is what the building looks like.
