Toronto restaurant recommendation - Page 3

Hah everyone I knew in Montreal was a jew too. The toronto ones just have this particular way of talking which the other kids have adopted too. I can't tell you if Canoe is overrated or not since I don't know how it's rated. If that's supposed to be like the best restaurant in Toronto according to some people then yea, I'd say so too.

You idiot douchebag, I lived in Montreal. I have a lot of friends at McGill and UofT. I have family that lives in Forrest Hill and I've been going to Toronto anually since I was about 8. I even had to live there in the summer, which included going to Muskoka on the weekends. Believe me, I know everything about the social scene of that place as far as the types of people who inhabit the city. Read up on the montreal recommendation thread as well. I dropped knowledge.

They aren't anti-jew comments. My jewish friends from UCC agree and laugh at how I call them toronto surfers. Family on my dad's side is jewish (the family in forrest hill, no less), by the way. I think like 80% of my friends are jewish, and my first girlfriend was jewish, so please, spare me that bullshit. Also, who said I can't make friends? Where are you getting that from? I have a blast wherever I go, including your boring little city. If e-friends matter, I have plenty. Please read any of the threads I've posted in. I have more than enough people who are quite happy being my e-friend.

Montreal is far better than Toronto in night life, festivals, music, food, and sports. Those are things that matter to me most. You cannot argue with me on any of these grounds.

And no, my experience with the city goes beyond UCC. I point out toronto jews is because they are, to some torontonians (including the jamaicans I know from the volunteer work I did) and to Montrealers and even ontarians as close as Pickering or out in Thunder Bay, is that they are the equivalent of valley girls. Many people have experienced this. At McGill, almost every torontonian kid fits that description. All nice kids, just all very stereotypical, and yea, I found them mostly quite immature but harmless. Sorry dude, but Toronto isn't my thing. I hate the new opera house, the TSO is trash (Oundjian will hopefully get fired any day), the ROM could have been beautiful if they went for all glass, now it looks like a scrap pile, and in general I just find it to be a bland city culturally. Their big claim to fame are things like Carabana, which honestly, having been 5 times, I didn't find that fun compared to say, the Puerto Rican parade in NYC.

The only two areas I consider Toronto to be better are in shopping and TIFF. TIFF is probably my favourite film festival, but I haven't been able to attend South by Southwest yet so until I have, I cannot say it is the best major international festival.

You count as like 10 e-friends.

And thanks for thinking of me.

The leafs are an embarassment. The raptors are now terrible. Canadians games are way more fun. The atmosphere in those games are electric. Toronto? A bunch of bankers in suits who leave before the 3rd period starts. I actually used to like the raptors, but their desperation to be a FIBA team has just become embarassing. I'd much rather have one exciting team than 3 mediocre ones.

Better night clubs in Toronto? Is that a total, complete joke? Toronto's clubs are so lame it isn't even funny. The city didn't even allow bottle service until a couple years ago. Ask any person from NYC or LA who has been to both, and see what they say. There are so many clubs in Montreal that are better than anything in Toronto. Toronto doesn't even really have anything like St. Laurent. When you look at the kind of fun that happens on NYE or Grand Prix (which sadly is now gone), you just can't compare. As someone who has spent a lot of time going out in great night life cities like NY and London, I can tell you that Montreal is much closer to those than Toronto is.
