It's just noodles. Like ramen. And apparently it's a hipster stereotype to take an Instagram picture of it.
Yesssssssssss
Five thousand dollars a bullet sounds about right.
Just like in Yakuza.
I'd be very careful with who I shot at 5k a bullet. I'd really have to hate you to want to lose that money.
I didn't notice that. :lollol, in that SMB3 Toronto map, there's a 'help!' bubble over Jane/Finch.
I look forward to it, as long as you guys don't schedule it on a day where I'm not anywhere near Toronto.
Our final battle will be immense.

City Hall should have a Bowser sprite for Ford.
I'd love to see a Super Mario World style map as well.
Re: Pho
Oddly a friend and I were walking by the Pho beside the ROM Mcds and trying to remember if we ate there back in the day. I hate Pho tho..
Nice!!!

They're missing the ones over Malvern and Regent's Park.

Read on BlogTO earlier this week that the only one that made their top 10 (such as it is) that was also DT was in Chinatown. Haven't been to hot pot in a long, long time though, so I can't vouch for its good or badness.
Not really. Though I haven't tried one there in a while. The place I went to is just by the Finch subway station if it's not that far for you. All the good hot pot restaurants are in markham and richmond hill.
I wrote a review of it just now:

I saw that, but the only comment in that article:

To be fair, their top-10 lists are by reader nomination, rather than much in the way of quantitative measurement.
That said, BlogTO does attract its own cadre of trolls.
I love the BlogTO best of lists, and have found a lot of great restaurants and shops that way. It's not perfect though to be sure.

Fixed that for you.
You hating.
Apparently Toronto is the only city interesting enough to warrant daily discussion, as evidenced by the fact that other city OTs die after a few pages.
Why is this one really active anyway? More gaffers in Toronto? lol
Our collective hate for our mayor keeps it alive.
Pretty much this. There's always something to talk about regarding Toronto in general.
We shit on our mayor, there's always some restaurant we haven't tried, and just stuff in general going on within the city.

It's because Toronto is the Centre of the Universe and its immense gravity is slowly drawing every other major city into its grasp.
Toronto photo of the day:
Kenzo is so good.
Hmmm Kenzo eh? There's one near my place. I will definitely check that out.
I hope it's better than Ajisen.
I like Ajisen. Though, it's the only Ramen place I've tried.
I've only been to the one in North York and it was pretty mediocre. I hear the one in Markham is better though.
The Markham location is the one I go to. It's always busy as hell in there, though.
Is there a higher resolution version of this? This is a gorgeous photo.

I don't recall needing permission to start a city thread.
Start one, get people in it, and try to keep it going. That's all you need to do.
Ajisen is yummy. However, I don't think I've been to any other ramen place downtown.
Having a shitty mayor really gets the discussion going, too. Make sure your city has one of those before starting a city thread!
And I don't even know any ramen places downtown. Ajisen's the only one I know of.

Probably not. I just grab them all from the skyscraper forums and I always post whatever the biggest resolution that was available is.

Ehhh...a lot of pho places here aren't really that good to be honest.
My aunt, who runs a Pho restaurant in SF, made some for me when she was visiting in Toronto.
Holy.
Shit.
Night and day! Broth was so flavourful and freakin awesome! Places here just aren't the same -_-
There are plenty of city threads. We were 'the first' to maintain a community, and we're the most active with a ton of members. I mean, we were active enough to be moved to Community. :/

I blame EM
Yeah, always spamming up this thread, keeping it on the top of the list.
Kenzo is far superior to Ajisen. I'm partial to the tonkotsu broth myself.
