Every Thursday and Friday at closing time, vendors are eager to shutter while fending off hordes of shoppers trying to make last-minute purchases. So, I think we may be underestimating the value of personal time.

The food menu looks very plain, but I'm sure it will do well considering that Starbucks was fairly busy even with Neo just across the street.

Sorry, I meant Frederick Street. Edited above.

Starbucks at Front & Frederick is being replaced by Olivia Eats.

A new Bar Hop location is opening at Danforth & Pape. http://www.momandhops.ca/bar-hop-opening-third-location-torontos-danforth/

I used to fantasize about westward PATH expansion when I lived at King & Spadina. I don't think there's any way it'll happen, even when restaurant row is razed for condos. I think a slightly more realistic expansion is along Front Street, maybe to Blue Jays Way. I doubt The Well will be...

Anyone else getting Sheraton Centre vibes from the northwest view?

Yeah, I'm not convinced it was the liquor licence they were opposed to.

There's no enforcement after ~9:15AM this week, at least east of Yonge. I've seen several vehicles passing through the intersections at Jarvis and Church, even squeezing past streetcars to do so. Traffic is extremely light, so it's not making much difference either way.

Remember that the experience isn't limited to commuters, but also the tens of thousands of office workers and new condo residents surrounding the station who are starved for neighbourhood amenities. If you recall the outdoor markets held over the past few years in the plaza, they were busy to...

Anyone following those signs into that building are in for a disappointment.

"Farmr" has opened at 140 The Esplanade. It looks considerably more contemporary and expensive than its predecessor, Time Square Fish & Chips. It'll be interesting to see if it succeeds in this location, but it's kind of exciting to see something new and refreshing open here. The restaurants...

The parking lot is closed this morning.

That would be a good stop after the 1st Annual Underpass Park Farmers' Market in Corktown, which is also this Thursday.

Porchetta & Co is opening a location in FCP across from the Robo McDonalds. It's in a recently subdivided space where the old Japanese restaurant used to be. The other unit next door will be another raw juice place from the looks of it.

Are the elegant, inoffensive, coordinated waste containers destined to be replaced with huge black and blue bins, or does this park somehow fall outside the purview of Solid Waste Management?

Correct, the one in the PATH concourse at Bay-Adelaide is closing http://www.marche-restaurants.com/en/marche-bay-adelaide

Marche/Movenpick in the Bay Adelaide centre is closing tomorrow. Always seemed very busy at lunch.

Has anyone heard about a retail leasee on the 2nd floor associated with the St Lawrence Market?
