Happy birthday Katie.

If I were ever in Toronto, I'd totally take Tgirl out for some chow. Wouldn't even try to boan her afterward.

I wish.

Srsly though, I actually ended up (after much personal debate) going out with a companion to Pizzeria Libretto on Ossington. Close to where I live and it was pretty good. Casual and fun.

Thanks for NOTHING, you guys.

(kidding!)

Happy Belated!!

As to finding a great place to eat in T.O, like Chicago, they say that if you want, you can eat at a different restaurant every night and never have to hit the same place twice. A little over stated perhaps, but yeah, there are a gazillion places to choose from, and more popping up all the time. As to hipsters and vegans, ... .... .... trust you're making new friends, mate (it's a big city, over 3 million live in the place, with another 5 or so million within driving distance (toss in Upstate NY and Montreal ... hey, there's an idea: head out to Manhattan or Montreal for a night on the town, great fun to do when solo, and all your friends may wisen up and take you out on your special day or eat with you at least, sheesh).

Uh, as to places in T.O, what are you into? If you're just looking for a great meal, head out to Anthony's or the King Eddie downtown, or uptown to Yorkville (there's a resto in a house up there, steak and wine list is good (at least it used to be), then bop over to Yorkville proper for some martinis, etc. If it's low key you want, head east to the Beaches - a little place on Queen just east of Woodbine called Whitlocks, also good steak and a decent wine list. Can hang out with the hipsters after at one of the local pubs (tell your vegan friends they make good salads, and drag them along ... OR, can do the entertainment district, there's some great (and not so great) restos down there (all the rage/trendy thing, right?). If you like steak, Ruth Chris is there, then can head out to the clubs or whatever for a night club. All depends on what you want: fun to play tourist in one's own town and see what's what, I agree. There are also lots of piano bar/martini places, if prefer over a loud night club. Of course, can also head over to the theatre district and take in a show, or do anything you want - it's your special night, afterall (and hope it was fun).

Cheers

Was it real pizza? How was it? I go to a couple hole in the wall mexican places a couple blocks from ossington/bloor. It's not near where I live, per say, but it's on the way home and it's cheap and pretty good (for what it is), so i stop there when i don't feel like cooking (a lot lately) or have no food.

You should have come down to Atlanta. I'd have kept you company...

I think eating alone is one of the most romantic things in the world, in a 1931 Paris Henry Miller kind of way. It is a lost art. I approve of your decision.

Hey, if I remember correctly, I suggested Pizza.
I demand recognition! Alternatively, I'll take a Libretto pizza
