Toronto
 

I am in Toronto as we speak, and am looking for some things to do. I don't know if there is much in Toronto to check out, but let me know if you have some places in mind. Good pub suggestions are welcome, as well as some good restaraunts, good places to shop? I'm staying at a Best Western on 111 Carlton Street. I am very unfamiliary with this city!

Pray for my fish tank, my nerves are on end. Thankfully I have people at home to keep an eye on things, but that still does not put my mind fully to rest. :neutral:

Cheers

not cheap but really cool place...

Awesome, thanks a lot for the suggestions guys. Keep them coming, this is awesome. I have a friend meeting me here, and I suspect we might try out this Irish Embassy pub. I wouldn't mind checking out some LFS in the area as well.

Dave, do you allow people to check out your frags, and if so, where about's in TO are you located?

Thanks once again, much appreciated.

Allow it and encourage it!

I am in Oakville, about a 35-40 minute drive from where you are depending on the day and/or time. Could be anywhere from 35 miutes to 2 hours! Gotta love Toronto traffic.

Your welcome to come by, I plan on being at home at least a half day both Saturday and Sunday.
