MEN IN SPANDEX, that gets my attention! Hopefully going commando. I'm there.
The one complaint I have with TOTD was that practically everyone sells the same stuff...Gyros, chicken/pork souvalaki, spanakopita, etc. I've noticed only one store that offers lamb. Surely there is more to Greek food than just that.
We went last year (first time for me). Sure, there were line-ups, but it's not as if I was surprised. I thought it was great.
They need more street performers, more entertainment, more street merchants, artists ... something.
I wonder what will happen, eventually, to all these BIA-instigated "cultural" festivals which are basically about boosting the local restaurant businesses and little else? Taste of the Danforth has become the most bloated example. We've moved from a city that rolls up the sidewalks at 7 p.m. to a city of cafe society and a city of endless BIA fests. How far will this thing go? What's next?
BB, your question has a sensational tone to it, so I'll propose a sensational answer: the TAPS festival on Lawrence West.
