Guidebook for Toronto
Food Scene
One of Toronto's favourite Asian fusion places -- and one of mine. The kimchi fries, dripping with flavour and covered in pulled pork, are both great drunk food and an ideal lunch.

Ridiculously friendly service and probably the best Japanese curry in a city with plenty of competition for that superlative. Hard to beat (and to find -- level P1 of the building, to the left!).

Absurdly delicious and elaborate Caesars (the Canadian Bloody Mary, with clam juice, for some reason) and killer brunch food in the heart of the gay village. Look for the dog portraits on the walls.

Arts & Culture
Cheap movie house with ridiculously delicious boozy slushies. Get tickets for an indie flick and a Whiskey Sour (lime slushie and whiskey -- I swear, it's awesome).

Sightseeing
