Construction material being hauled to Billy Bishop

I have never seen something like this being hauled along Harbourfront. Is there an expansion project in progress?

Japan Foundation in Downtown Toronto is relocating and cutting library operations

Recently learned about the sad news of such an iconic cultural center closing its doors in Downtown. I borrowed Japanese language course books from them sometime ago... you don't find those kind of books anywhere else in downtown easily :(

How does the weather know it is the weekend i.e. time to spit on everyone's grand plans?

Seriously, why does it always rains/snows on the weekend? What am I supposed to do with a bright sunny day on a stupid work day, when I am in the office most of the day??!!!

Since you guys have been so helpful, I wanted to pay it forward with some of my top Downtown TO recommendations for food/cafes.

Pizza - North of Brooklyn (please don't do takeout as it is a night & day difference)

Burger - Crack Burgers (Matty's Patties does better fries)

Italian - Gio Rana (the hype is real)

Vietnamese - Pho Tien Thanh for Pho (I don't think they are as good any more, but I haven't found anything better yet), Banh mi Boyz for Banh mi

Korean - Jin Dal Lae (can't vouch for their Korean BBQ as I haven't tried it)

Ramen - Raijin (recently Machida Shoten has been elite as well)

Tacos - Nothing that'll be good, sorry. You will just have to fly to Mexico city.

Indian/Pakistani - Karahi Boyz

Cafe - Ethica is S-Tier coffee

Middle Eastern - Nothing of note in downtown

Ice cream - Good behaviour (used to be a fan of ice creamanology but they have not been consistent of late)

Baked goods - Ba Noi (thanks to this subreddit for the recommendation)

Please note that my taste is subjective, and this is a list for someone living in core downtown. Merci!

Thank you, Drake!

As a Torontonian, it was a pleasant surprise to see the CN tower beautifully wrapped. Also, I had no idea about the fireworks which I only found out about during my usual walk around Harborfront and seeing a large crowd gathered!

Thank you so much for representing the city. You had no reason to do an all out firework show for the city, but you did. I am so grateful! Love this city, and the people who give back to it!

Best coffee and baked goods spot?

I am looking to do a morning coffee run this weekend. What's the place you want to give a shoutout to for the best coffee and baked goodies combination in the city?

I just came back from a 9 day mind blowing trip and I wanted to say thank you for the splendid time you gave me! The people are so respectful and warm, so much history and culture to absorb, and the food left me speechless. Sorry for the generic compliments but words can't ever describe how lucky I am to experience Mexico city!

Thank you, and I can't wait to be back!
