I had an old thread on Chowhound, where I asked for recs worth a half hour TTC ride.
There are places I’ll walk 30 minutes to visit, but won’t visit if I have to take the subway or pay for parking.
There are other places I visit every time I’m in a particular neighborhood for something non-food related.
I rarely travel east of Yonge St these days. I only cross the Don River and visit establishments over there when I’m meeting someone who lives on the East Side.
This is a big change from 10 years ago, when I was travelling all over the Golden Horseshoe to try new restaurants with Toronto Chowhounds.
Le Conciliabule is east of Yonge, on the edge of Little India, on Gerrard St E, and I would travel by car or subway for their pastries, quiches. The parking is also cheap!
