Totally Toronto

Where I stayed, what I did, what I ate.

1. Rue Morgue Magazine

2926 Dundas Street W
Toronto, ON M6P 1Y8
Canada
(416) 651-9675

Category: Print Media

Neighbourhood: The Junction

9/5/2010 First to Review

This magazine is the highest quality genre mag on earth. I've been reading it for close to a decade, and it never fails to astonish me. How they haven't managed to run out of content or in ways to discuss horror films, art, music, and culture is…More »

2. Bloor Cinema

506 Bloor St W
Toronto, ON M5S 1Y3
Canada
(416) 516-2331

Category: Cinema

Neighbourhood: The Annex

9/5/2010

For anything rare, cultish, campy, dark, funny, weird, or festival-related, the Bloor is your place. It's totally old school and awesome in the fact that you're not going to find the latest shitty rom-com or teen movie here. So yay for that. The…More »

3. Overdraught Irish Pub

156 Front St W
Toronto, ON M5J 2L6
Canada
(416) 408-3925

Categories: Irish, Pubs

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core

9/5/2010

It was great to find an Irish pub across the street from the Convention Center. But first, know this -- don't wait to be seated, as the sign says. SEAT YOURSELF. Instead of playing a guessing game as to where else we should sit -- our first choice…More »

4. Gabby's

309 King St W
Toronto, ON M5V 1J5
Canada
(416) 979-9790

Category: Canadian (Traditional)

Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core

9/5/2010

Grabbed a bite here after a long, long drive from the States. While our patio waiter was excruciatingly slow, the food was decent. Bison burger with guac and sweet potato fries are the way to go! Loved the backyard feeling sitting beneath the strings…More »

5. O & B Canteen

330 King Street West
Toronto, ON M5V 3X2
Canada
(647) 288-4710

Category: Canadian (New)

Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core

9/5/2010

We went here twice on our visit during the last weekend in August. The first visit merits about 1.5 stars, since we had to wait almost 2 hours for our brunch on Sunday, 8/29/10. We were about to cancel our order and head elsewhere because it was just…More »

6. Acme Burger Company

500 Bloor St W
Toronto, ON M5S 1Y3
Canada
(416) 850-8499

Categories: Burgers, Food

Neighbourhood: The Annex

9/5/2010

A decent fast food option before a show at the Bloor. You can choose which size you want -- 4, 6, or 8 oz -- in addition to your toppings. Not sure why it's gotten such poor reviews, but everything was great when we went. And the bathroom was clean,…More »

Toronto, ON M5V 1J9
Canada
(416) 599-4000

Category: Hotels

Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core

9/5/2010

We just stayed here during the last weekend in August, 2010. Reading the reviews, I was shocked to see that the elevators have been in renovation for several months. Because going into September, guess what? Three out of the four are working and it…More »

8. FanExpo

255 Front St W
Toronto, ON M5V 2W6
Canada
(416) 241-7827

Category: Festivals

Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core

9/5/2010 First to Review

I think that FanExpo would be less soul-crushing if it wasn't five conventions jammed into one. On Saturday's edition of the 2010 fest, 60,000 people showed up. I have never been in such a crowded environment. Oh wait, Fourth of July on the Esplanade…More »

Category: Dance Clubs

Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Bickford Park

9/8/2010

Went to Revival for a Rue Morgue party during the last weekend in August. There were loops of horror trailers playing on the myriad of TVs, plenty of bartenders -- we never had to wait too long for a drink -- and a very well-stocked ladies' room with…More »
