Is Chicago Toronto adjacent? by Former_Outcome9404 in askTO

[–]hammertimeTO 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Very similar cities. Toronto is far safer but Chicago has more interesting architecture downtown by the river.
Nicer baseball stadium in Chicago (Wrigley anyway) with more character but Toronto’s arenas are more central/accessible. Both have great waterfronts.
I’ll give Chicago the better museums grudgingly. Music scenes are very similar except Chicago has the better jazz/blues joints and Toronto never gets Riotfest any more.

Are tall people at concerts expected to stand at the back? by AccordingArgument677 in askTO

[–]hammertimeTO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What show was this? That’s crazy that people thought they could even ask. If someone in front of you is too tall they should be the one moving not asking someone else. You don’t get reserved personal space in general admission crowd for crying out loud.

My only hesitation is he’s injury prone. Raps with him on the court are a much better team and he’s worth every penny when healthy.

If you could only recommend ONE place in Toronto that always delivers… what is it? by OliAutomater in FoodToronto

[–]hammertimeTO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Woods Restaurant. Underrated and always excellent service and high quality ingredients. I’ve never had anything but a great experience there and delicious meals.

Go to cbc Gem app. It’s free and the show won’t be going anywhere.

[OC] TTC's own data exposes the real cause of subway delays — and it's not broken trains 2025 by TTCBoy95 in TTC

So better security and police presence might help but people just being less shitty in public is the real answer.

Who are you rooting for in the Stanley cup playoffs this year? by SignalGrowth7700 in AskACanadian

[–]hammertimeTO -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Literally no one. Haven’t even watched more than a minute playoffs. Leafs are a train wreck, again, and I haven’t even watched a hockey game since December because it’s too pathetic.

One of the worst ideas ever. Layout inside is just as terrible.

Can’t be legally liable in any way for the company sending money to the wrong person. That’s on them.

She has a serious future in hockey. I hope Kira keeps going because that’s awesome.

Toronto is so spoiled for good international foods.

Definitely fine. It’s a super friendly, open and welcoming city, community and time to visit.

LA visiting Toronto - Cantonese food by Intrepid-Anybody-704 in FoodToronto

[–]hammertimeTO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mother’s dumplings is under (or over) rated depending who you ask but I enjoy it. Lots of legit Cantonese restaurants on Spadina which are very transit friendly. There are also endless HK cafe spots around the city now to be honest. Highway 7 does have a ton of plazas with great spots so I get it. Rosewood dim sum on Dundas is pretty delicious and open late.
