The Local Flavor

...is sometimes good and sometimes it leaves a bad taste in my mouth :(

1. Puppetry of the Penis

189 Yonge St
Toronto, ON M5B 1M4
Canada
(416) 314-2901

Category: Performing Arts

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core

12/12/2009

I wanted to save something special for my 100th review and what's more special than a live performance with two nekkid guys on stage handling their meat canes for 50 minutes (in a theater that doesn't have sticky floors)?

Thanks to Kat F. and the…More »

Canada

Category: Local Flavour

Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core

12/10/2009

It's a little sad when a comic's singing ability is more impressive than her ability to make an audience laugh. That's pretty much how it went down for the four lady comediennes who opened for "T'was the Bitch Salad Before Christmas."

I was really…More »

3. TTC tokens

1900 Yonge St
Toronto, ON M4S 1Z3
Canada

Category: Local Flavour

Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant and Davisville

9/15/2009 First to Review

So wee and precious, a TTC token is the perfect size--if I were a 10-inch-tall Barbie doll riding the Barbie TTC in a Barbie world.

Seriously, why so small? Is there some kind of brass and nickel shortage? Is the size commensurate to the satisfaction…More »

NE Corner of Queen St. & University Ave.
Toronto, ON
Canada

Categories: Performing Arts, Local Flavour

Neighbourhoods: Queen Street West, Downtown Core

7/20/2009 First to Review

For the love of God, please STOP!

I'm all for supporting local artists and performers but this bagpiper makes my ears bleed. And when I hear bagpipes I wonder, "Did a cop just die?"

Between this obnoxiously loud windbag and the weirdo ferret handler…More »

Toronto, ON
Canada

Categories: Local Flavour, Local Services

7/28/2009 First to Review

What's the matter, lady? Didn't have your Wheaties that morning? Just come from donating a pint of blood? Riding the Toronto subway is depressing enough without hearing this hack's anemic low-energy prerecorded announcements.

I don't need a perky…More »

(d) are broke but want something interesting to do on a Sunday afternoon

Only 6 Yelpers RSVPed for the event so I was a little…More »

9/5/2009

At a previous Yelp event, the locals were talking about using their "Canadian Tire money" and I was like, "Huh? What's that??" I'd never been inside Canadian Tire because I honestly thought it was a store for car parts. And I thought Canadian Tire…More »

8. Toronto's Squirrels

Bloor St W
Toronto, ON M6P 3K7
Canada

Category: Local Flavour

Neighbourhood: High Park

11/9/2009 First to Review

Throughout the continental U.S. and major cities around the world, squirrels come in one shade and one shade only; a rather insipid grayish taupe[1].

In Toronto, however, the color spectrum of squirrels is like a muthaflippin' rainbow.
So far, I've…More »

9. 511 Bathurst Streetcar

Bathurst St
Toronto, ON
Canada

Category: Public Transportation

Neighbourhood: Casa Loma

7/1/2010

Is it a coincidence that the sketchiest street in Toronto has the worst streetcar line?

The wait between cars can be a brutal 30-40 minutes so if you've just missed one, you're better off walking over to Spadina for the 510.

Sometimes, if I don't see…More »
