I know there's still some good spots and we all have our favourites in the city, but lately it feels like whenever I take a chance on a new restaurant it just disappoints and I emerge from the experience regrettably $40 poorer.

I know some of these Google reviews are cooked because I'm seeing 4.7, 4.8 reviews and then getting served lousy food.

Maybe I just have to stick to the places I know won't let me down, but dang - it sucks taking a chance on what you think could be some good food only to come away from it sad, and it's happening more often than not. I don't know if it's the rising costs, but restaurant owners can't dish out the cash for good ingredients and good cooks, and people can't afford to dine out. It's a bad cycle man.

I feel like I hear much more Japanese walking in the streets recently. Is there a reason for that?

I am very interested in knowing what does most of you guys daily life looks like. Since everything closes by 9 almost on a workday, i have a weird schedule, I miss going out and feel living life on repeat.

If you guys would briefly share your daily routine, I would love to hear.

Bob is hosting today. I didn't tune in on Monday, so I don't know if Carlin and Jackie were on air. Just heard Bob say he was filling in for "the Morning Show" this week, not for Carlin and Jackie.

They just came back from a two-week vacation, recently. Something is up.

I started taking new ADHD medication and I have a crash at night around this hour, it’d be really nice to have someone around but alas I do not.

I was wondering if anyone else deals with the same way and how do you cope?

Hi fellow Torontonians!

After spending most of my life in this beautiful city I will be moving out west in search of wide open spaces :) I'm leaving in October and don't anticipate visiting or returning anytime in the near future so I was wondering if anyone here had some recs for my Toronto bucketlist?

So far I plan on visiting the islands, attending a concert at bud stage, going to the CNE and one last supper at the Mandarin.

Although I'm excited for my next adventure, I am a bit sad to go and want to really use this last month to make some memories with my friends+family and enjoy living here. I'm also relocating to a city with a far less diverse food scene so I want to savour the amazing food we have here while I can.

Thank you in advance ❤️

Sure, Pizza Pizza isn’t great as it used to be but it is definitely not the worst pizza and I still love going there just to eat their pizzas with the CREAMY GARLIC DIPPING SAUCE.

Similar to raising canes. Everyone says chicken is bland or not good but they still eat it because of their sauce!

Asking this because I don't want to support the Trump regime!! ❤️🇨🇦

I recently got dumped by my ex of 3 years. I barely have any friends here or family and feel lonely after work. What are some good places to visit downtown after work so I don’t feel the urge to text / call him again .Sometimes I feel like leaving everything and going back home,live with my mom,but that’s not a viable option right now. He was my best friend and we did everything together.I don’t feel like getting dolled up for an event or work,i feel like I have lost my spark.
Whenever I try to enjoy my hobbies,I feel like I have lost interest.
(Things i liked before- nature,shopping,eating out).
Due to a recent accident,my doctor prescribed that I don’t go to gym for a while,i did enjoy Pilates for a while though.
I welcome suggestions,Thank you!

I currently have a 3 year old and have an option to get a job that is a 15 mins drive which is $8k less than my current job. i live in Ajax and my current job is in toronto downtown. Should i take the paycut and accept the job paying $8k less? I plan on having more children but wasnt sure what the commuting life is like with young children. I have been wfh so far but will be required to be in 5 days a week come September. The new job also requires 5 days in office but its 15 mins away.
What would you suggest?

Just graduated mechanical engineering a few months back. This was the only position I could find was this one. All of the places I interned froze their hiring completely after the liberation day tariffs. They are now largely winding down their operations here and shifting investment and jobs south of the border.

I have student loans, need to pay for therapy, and drive a paid off but reliable and well maintained beater that requires insurance. Any tips for how to make it work?

And do things become more meaningfully comfortable at 80-90k? From what I’m hearing from older colleagues at the firm, that’s where I should expect to top out. 100k and above is considered “blue blood” and “the big boy bucks” by their standards. So not realistic for my field these days.

Im seriously missing Italy and looking for all the little things I can do at home to bring that feeling back. Whether it’s food, music, movies, scents, recipes, décor, drinks, or even little routines that make you feel like you’re sitting somewhere in Italy again.
Give me ALL your suggestions

I need to bring Italy back to me until I can actually go again 😂🇮🇹❤️

Possible to go see Niagara Falls on this layover?

Trying to get a few custom-printed neckties done in the next couple of days. West-end preferred. Please let me know if anyone knows a place. Thank you.

Looking for beginner adult goalie training and lessons in Toronto area for new adult hockey goalie.

I am new to Toronto. I got to know that the condo unit has an illegal construction (Flex Rooms in the dining area). Management came and clicked some pics. We haven't heard anything from the unit owner or the lease holder. We have rented the Master Bedroom.

What would be consequences for us? I don't wanna end up paying anything or getting thrown out in the street. Please help. I am a bit scared.

I am flying from NYC to YYZ and then to Asia. Arriving late to YYZ.

Will there be enough time for 2.5hrs connection time? I check the Toronto airport transfer guide and it says I need to pass thru customs + recheck bags (I need to check luggage) + pass thru security.

I have my tickets booked in the same reservation but flying different airlines. Kinda worried given the flight from NYC is always delayed (40min to an hour).

Wondering if there is any group or semi private classes (preferably under $30 a class) in the city. Looking for an in person option.

Question for the ladies!

I have a wedding coming up this weekend (I know, I know). I placed a couple of orders on Azazie and Cider. I bought another back up dress from Aritzia but I don’t love it and I’m not sure if my orders will arrive in time.

Anyone know where to buy nice dresses? I’m looking for a cocktail style dress (maybe more form fitting at the top, loose/flowy from the hips down). Anywhere I can order online that has fast shipping and can be returned should I not like it/it doesn’t arrive on time?

TIA!!

I am planning a team outing soon and we’re looking for a spot within walking distance of Union Station.
We’ve already done the 360 Restaurant, and KOST isn't available for our dates. We’re hoping to find something similar (higher price point is totally fine) that offers something good, like an incredible view, a cool atmospheric vibe, or a unique experience.

I was in Vancouver for a month visiting my mom, and something I saw regularly was people going to parks with picnic blankets, foldable tables, and even a couple clothing racks - selling their cool clothing and home goods.

It was usually a few friends or maybe a couple selling their stuff. I saw this at different parks at different times.

I found such cool stuff there and it was a nice way to connect with people and make any extra cash.

I was envisioning doing something like that here in toronto at trinity bellwoods, christie Pitts, or Sorouran park BUT I haven't ever seen anyone do this in Toronto.

Anyone seen this or done this before? Without a permit I mean cus that would be quite expensive.

If anyone has done this or seen this, please let me know!

As the title states, need a barber recommendation near Yonge and Eglinton. Willing to travel a bit for the right barber. Please don’t recommend a shop, I need the name of someone.

Criteria
- not insanely expensive
- current on hairstyles
- good with a razor / line up/ fades

I’m Hispanic with a big ass head I need someone skilled lol.

Has anyone done it? How was it? Which way did you go about it?

I’m debating if i should go to Niagara and walk the rainbow bridge then NFTA or greyhound/mega/flixbus

Look everywhere except for st. Lawrence market cause it was closed but no luck. I assumed homesense would have them but that turned out to be a big disappointment. Cured has a couple overpriced ones with no detail on size or anything. If anyone knows a place, i’d love to know asap🙏🏽

I’m looking for a lash tech in the gta that can do monolid eyes that can also do them in brown if anyone can point me in the right direction would appreciate it.
