Maybe, but it required going outdoors and was busier at peak periods. The Atrium is connected to the PATH and Eaton Centre, quicker lines, and from a perspective of a Ryerson student, actually quicker trip from the SLC (for those who knew that the Atrium location existed anyway).

The McDick's on Yonge is also way scuzzier...

Yeah, I had a Christmas Holiday party held here once with a previous company I worked at before. I believe it's owned by the same people from Red Room and Green Room.

No worse than the one at Yonge and Grosvenor. People should be signing a liability waiver just to go into that location.

I just miss the simple joys in life like enjoying a pint at a dive bar.

Yonge and College along with Victoria and Shuter will remain open.

This was my go-to when I was volunteering at the Toronto Railway Museum. I once bought Bruce McQuaid and Andy Byford Breakfast here.

I paid $25 but I got the big breakfast usually.

2 eggs, 2 pancakes, 2 slices of bacon, 2 sausages, homefries and toast with 2 coffees.

Before anyone asks I was eating alone.

That's robbery. There are some great brunch spots around where you can get all that for $13.

...and IKEA sells the whole shebang for breakfast for less.

But again, the nearest IKEA to Toronto subway stations are the North York (Leslie station) and Vaughan (VMC station) locations.
