    how long until toronto surpasses chicago on skyscrapers?

    Hong Kong's numbers are crazy. Two times as many skyscrapers as New York. Damn. I really need to visit there, it looks like an amazing city.

    So why is North York so Expensive? And Scarborough so cheap?

    Scarborough is a lower income area with less well off people. It makes sense that housing prices are lower in Scarborough.

    I checked out their website, looks like a pretty awesome pub.

    Bloor Annex

    Anyone else notice that the Annex's nightlife has started to die down? Madison pub used to be packed, nowdays half the times I go there it's dead by 1 AM. The whole street as a whole seems far less busy than a few years ago on Thursday to Saturday nights.

    Bloor Annex

    That would be amazing for my taste buds and horrible for my wallet. Chipotle hits the spot for me. I mainly eat at the Yonge and Dundas one, but I'd definitely love a Chipotle closer to home. Thinking about it, the Annex makes a lot of sense, Hero Burger opened up fairly recently and has...

    Fish & Chips!

    I just ate there recently. Damn, I should have ordered the fish and chips. I walked past Harbord Fish and Chips yesterday and was pretty tempted to eat there for lunch, but decided to eat a healthier lunch at Thai Basil instead.

    What's your favourite non-Cantonese Chinese restaurant in downtown?

    Most of the good non-Cantonese Chinese food I've eaten in Toronto has been in Scarborough and the suburbs. I've had Schezuan, hakka, and uyghur cuisine. The last one is my favorite, very very delicious and the special spices they use give a very unique sensation. Well worth it.

    Fat Laden Favourites? - Top 5 Artery Cloggers

    I gotta second Burrito Boyz. Its an amazing post-workout bulk meal, I think its easily a 1000 calories plus for a large. I remember hitting the gym in the winter and right after eating down every single bite. Very delicious as well. Its a much better value for money than Chipotle, but...

    Best Burger

    I haven't had an exceptional burger in Toronto yet. The best burger I've had was in Montreal at Hachoir. I've eaten there a couple of times, and each time was incredibly delicious. I highly recommend that place if you go to Montreal.

    Tyler Cowen: Scarborough the best ethnic food suburb in the world

    Agreed, Scarborough is awesome for ethnic food, and many of these places are hole in the wall and you have to really do your research to find them. You definitely need a car for Scarborough as its extremely spread out, but damn its worth it. I live fairly near Scarborough and we love exploring...

    Interesting first date ideas

    Find a rooftop you have to climb up on, and take a few beers up there. Trust me, that's a helluva lot more fun/adventurous than another boring "let's drink at a bar" or "let's eat at a restaurant" date. And cheaper as well.

    Movies that feature Toronto

    Yeah, they were filming the new Batman movie in downtown Toronto. I was disappointed that the Batmobile was moving relatively slowly. I was hoping it would blaze by just like in the movies.

    London, UK - May/June 2015

    These photos are amazing. Love the railway station photos as I'm a big rail fan as well. The last photo is stunning. London has a a great skyline. Seems like their downtown isn't full of ugly generic condos like Toronto's downtown. I remember flying in on a BA flight and it flew over...

    Toronto Media Landscape and Personalities

    If you're in media you're meeting tons of people and essentially have very powerful connections. Being a dealmaker and a middleman can be vastly profitable when introducing two large parties to each other. That's probably why its so tempting to engage in morally dubious deals.

    Mystical Kyoto - Japan's city of a thousand temples

    Beautiful stuff! I love the photo of the Shinkansen. One of the reasons I really want to check out Japan is to see its railway system which is famous for its efficiency.
