Ezen Baklattan Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Psa: The Loose Moose bar is utterly amazing, and their French onion poutine was to die for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) I had poutine at a place called Elephant & Castle last year which wasn't bad. But turns out it's a chain. My experience with downtown Toronto cuisine is mostly limited to Pizza Pizza, Tim Horton's, and some mediocre Chinese places that I don't remember the names of.

Kvikk Lunsj Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I am going to try to go next year plus I would be able to see the Hockey Hall of Fame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 If this could become an annual thing that would be awesome actually. I live in the Philly area and I've been to Toronto many times so I don't mind the drive. Unfortunately this year is the year I start up school again so I won't be able to attend but I really do hope you guys have fun and this becomes a thing.

Kalo Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) I'm actually thinking of taking an extended trip to Michigan in August or September, Toronto is not all that far from there, considering how long I've known @baumer, it would be great to meet up, I'm not sure if I can just yet but I wouldn't rule it out as a possibility.

AniNate Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) I'm not sure how the other film fests work but I think these sorts of events present the best opportunity for members on this forum to meet up, since they give people a reason to be there and also an out if the personal interactions hit a wall. Was debating for a little bit whether to go here or to New York's. Decided on this since it's closer and probably cheaper and more informal and I'm planning to visit NYC for a few days in August anyway.

DAJK Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I would love to do this... someday. But I start college in September and Toronto is super far away. But this should honestly become an annual thing, as I would love to attend a BOT meet-up one day (one day that's hopefully soon). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a locality there called Little India. Good indian/pakistani food especially moti mahal and lahore tikka house. College street west (little italy) has amazing and authentic italian food and restaurants. For chinese go to chinatown. Good food there. There is also a bar opposite scotiabank theatre in downtown. Cant remember the name but its quite big with bowling and pool and other games. Smokehouse poutinerie in downtown has nice poutine. I would have loved to come too but I'm not in Toronto right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we should have one every three years so most people make an effort to go and have plenty of time to plan. If you have it every year too many people might push it off for another year. Also we should take a poll for our top locations and coinciding events for a meet up. (I'm sure Toronto and TIFF will be a top choice) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) If we switch up the location every year it would encourage more people to show up, I think. Edited June 8, 2017 by tribefan695 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Atreides Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Can't make it, since I'm in college and would probably have to take a plane to get to Toronto. Of course, if you're ever in Philly, definitely try to hit me up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
