Toronto-Age |OT3| Going Off the Rails on a Gravy Train

Too much thinking required. I give up.
Niceeee. Love Uniqlo. Looking forward to the inevitable metal gear and monster hunter collabos. Their underwear is on point. And their no show socks.
Just a heads up; The BOGO burrito thing at Chipotle is happening in Canada too. Basically, buy a tofu burrito today, get a coupon for a free burrito in the future. I'm sure the Yonge & Dundas location will be a zoo though. Decisions, decisions..

I wonder if Uniqlo might take a few more stores now that Target has closed? They're generally not that big though and don't need ALL that space...maybe put a Starbucks in there as well?
Ehh, I think the market for Uniqlo is more skewed towards the younger crowd, who probably don't frequent department stores or suburban malls as much. At least, not enough to justify the floorspace Target leaves behind.

Yeah it might be too much. I still think cheap clothing would do well here even if there's already Old Navy...
LET ME DREAM, DIVVY!
Are the game themed clothes available in stores outside of Japan?
They've only announced two stores. They're testing the waters.
You mean they're not taking over 100+ existing stores with questionable locations and supply issues?
Now that's just crazy!
The US/UK online store had Monster Hunter t-shirts and underwear for a very limited time, I don't know what the heck that means for us though.
It means you'll probably see it online, but not in-store. At least, not as they try to build their public perception. Game-themed clothes don't hold much appeal outside of Hot Topic, Old Navy, or Walmart.
Me too. My winter coat is still in my luggage and I'm not taking it out. Rocking a spring jacket until I get home. Take that team winter!
Well, it seems like they are testing the market. And the article says that Nordstrom will be sharing the space.
Who cares? More options. Apparently the quality is top notch. (But not as good as it was five years ago.)
((Plus, I'll never forget UNIQLOCK.))
No shit.
A year and a half off. :/
(Not that I have he budget to buy clothes at the moment anyway.)

A few thoughts and observations on my first full day in Toronto:
Tim Hortons are everywhere.
I got sardined in a streetcar during the morning commute.
Payphones are still a thing here. I saw many Bell phones around town.
I also saw a lot of graffiti as well.

Worst thing in this city by far. Taking public transit around 8:30-9:30 is the worst thing in the world. I actively avoid having classes at that time, but I wasn't so lucky this term.

It's alright, I just saw it as part of the Toronto experience.
I also had some authentic Chinese in Chinatown, it was great.
Yes! Gimme blizzards!
The actual coast is hogging it all.

So what do you have planned for the rest of your time here and why does it involve ramen/burgers/pho/coffee?
I hope a polar bear steals the food in your fridge and forces you to go out to buy food! >=[
I hope you chip a tooth on an ice cube! >=[
I hope...hmmm...the closest DQ near you closes? >=
I only know of two left, one by Vic Park that isn't open in winter and the other in Chinatown.

Why I should be excited over Uniqlo coming to Canada?
Good quality clothes, cheap prices. Their UT collabos are pretty nice and their selvedge jeans makes for good beaters. For 40 bucks!

Will it be cheap prices when they open here though?
So kinda what we thought Target would be but more trendy?
Less so (like Target). Target is all around department store stuff. UNIQLO is just clothing. Or it least it was the last time I was at the one in NYC..
The Senator, near Dundas Square on Victoria. So good. Best breakfast in the city, and for such a ridiculously reasonable price, too. Makes me feel real stupid paying $10 for 'brunch' at one of Toronto's shitty greasy spoons when I'm with friends in other parts of the city.
Seconded. The Senator is amazing!
Still there. I went late last month, at least. Had tea and chocolate cake with ice cream, as you do.

Uniqlo is great. Their clothes are sorta like the clothes they sell at Muji. Some basic/cleaner looking clothing that isn't gaudy nor flashy. Good value for the money. And best of all, it's usually slimmer and more fitted so it doesn't look like the baggy trash you get at Gap or Old Navy.
I'm pumped for the Uniqlo news. No more having to travel to the States for shirts.
@ahdurian You probably found your pancakes already but I enjoy the Senator a lot. I used to eat there often while going to Ryerson. But avoid the huevos rancheros. I found that they weren't so good.
If you're around the area later we have have a Japanese Curry house on Dundas near University called Gyugyuya

TTC was perfect for once this morning. AKA I got to work 10 min early.
Then the TTC remembered it was the TTC and I'm stuck on the SRT and it'll take me an extra 30-45 min to get home.
God. Dammit!

We all know nothing exists in Ontario outside of Toronto/the GTA.
