So... I'll be visiting your fair city a little late for the Official Languish Meet :blush:, but I will be there next week.  I'll be going to the U2 show on the night of the 17th with female accompaniment.  I'll probably be going out early in the day the 17th and then hotel-ing it up that night.  I have no plans really for the rest of the week, and will either remain in Toronto for a few days more or head back to Buffalo depending.  Are there any special events going on that week?  Any cool exhibits?  We're thinking of hitting up the Toronto Zoo probably the next day, as we both enjoy zoos, plus... they have hyenas!  Excitement.  Anyway, what did ya'll find was worth  while or not worthwhile to do during your meetup?  Any particular bars or restaurants to go to or to avoid?  Also, if anyone wants to meet up for a beer or food or something, feel free to let me know.  I'm sure I can talk her into meeting a random company of people I've never met in person before. :lol:

Friday (the Day after U2) should be doable for some drinks if you want to meet up in the central/downtown area. and it's still patio weather.

... there's lots to do in this town. :)

the Zoo is in deep scarberia, so I'll pass.

Sounds workable Sask.  I'm glad someone is brave enough to meet me! :lol:  You'd think I were Siege or something.

I'd meet you but a French Canadian isn't allowed to visit Toronto twice in the same season.

I'm sure we can get HVC as well. he just needs to be prodded. :)

Joe commutes and Mal is family man, so their schedules are tighter.

anyhow, my budget is tight,  but there are some good cheap watering holes around. authenticity is free.

Cheap works for me Sask.  Maybe try that pizza place you were talking about for a bite?  Is there a "Toronto" food or something particularly Canadian to seek out that they do well?  GF, I understand, you're afraid of Toronto, it's ok. :lol:

there's lots of cheap good food around. there's some very good sicilian pizza near downtown (Dundas  pizza is in the west end), as well as lots of falafel joints, shwarma, kosher, sushi, really whatever you want.

do you know what hotel you'll be in? I'll see if I can come up with a rough proposal for stuff (food & beer) to do in your hood. :)

we can also do some deathmarching. of course. if we're downtown maybe we can coordinate with Joe around his TIFF schedule.

Hilton Garden Inn.  92 Peter Street.

I'm definitely interested in trying Dunda's if it isn't too far.  Death marches should be ok.
