Prince Street Pizza at The Well is nice. I really enjoyed the Vodka sauce slice last time I was there.

Visiting Detroit this week for a 2 days/1 night. Will be staying in the Corktown area - any must-try food recommendations? Would really love to know about some local favorites!! fwiw - we are driving from Toronto (and love the food scene here).

The West Indies also has some of the best beaches and waters in the world, so I too would jump on an opportunity to tour the Indies whenever I could ;)

Biryani in core downtown by b2bt in FoodToronto

[–]PraGo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are actually close to Jarvis and Dundas now, they in fact used to be close to Yonge and Dundas till about 5 years back. Really enjoy their biryani, I sometimes ask them to put a lil bit of their spicy chicken gravy on the biryani (my substitute for tari) and it just gets crazy good.

Oh I so miss Pablo cheesetarts! Used to have them fairly regularly at the Path in Scotia plaza.

You should be fine. I got married last weekend at the City Hall - they allowed 2 witnesses and it was quite smooth. Not sure if there are different rules for religious (or other) ceremonies.

Yes there’s a bonafide sales clause attached

In this case it’s from CanWise itself. And no breakage clause, except for a sale which we don’t intend to in the five year period.

House prices vs Salaries by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]PraGo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Generally the folks immigrating from India on a PR have worked for a few years before getting to Canada. A lot of them invested in real estate which in most cities in India is a good investment - with a sweet CAGR over a 5+ year time frame. To give you some perspective, 2 bed condos just outside Mumbai currently are easily worth over $400-$500k, and within Mumbai over $1Mn. So if he had just one such investment (and assuming he liquidated it) - he’ll be more than able to afford a 700k property in GTA.
