I’ve set up this shidduch where the guy’s traveling to date a girl in Toronto. What’s typically done on first and second dates there? I know here it’s lounges, coffeehouses, boardwalks or restaurants- depending on your circles. What’s expected there?
I dont know but I would check mikomos.
I think nnuts is trying to find out what is appropriate for a first date in Toronto, as opposed to what’s done in Brooklyn, etc.
im from toronto- hotel lobby/ hotel lounge for a drink and shmooze. zehu
What about 2nd or 3rd date?
toronto is a regular city. im not sure if you guys expected ice fishing. regular rules apply
I think doing fun nice enjoyable things together is smart. There is Toronto Island. A ferry takes you across Lake Ontario and then when you get to the Island, there is a beautiful scene to see, swan rides, gardens etc.
The ride to the top of the CN tower is cool. Or check out the Royal Ontario Museum. Unless he’s a cohen cause they have a real Mummy from Egypt in there.
Umm…what about the art museum? What about the lake front just going for a walk ? Its not like NY. Its so clean, and a pleasure to walk around. If the shidduch is in late august then you can go to the Exibition, which comes once a year.
You can always go to Casa Loma.
casa loma is an old castle built by an important british dude. very coo. for some reason it was never finished dont remember why. nice to know theres a toronto community here. i was getting a little sick of brooklyn hack
Hockey Hall of Fame, come on what girl wouldn’t want to see the Stanley Cup?
Idk what type they r but center island is nice kinda like the equivelant to central park u could walk around, rent bikes or canoes…theres the eX which is kinda like a state fair but its just the last two weeks of the summer…there r many kosher resturants and cafes along and odd bathurst st…down town is cool also but idk how appropriate for a first date…make sure he has a GPS!!!
Then of course, they can always take a trip to Honest Ed’s and look for bargains – just beware of the sloped floor. Now, Honest Ed’s is a true “Toronto only” kind of place, steeped in history.
ah minyan gal you make me proud. wonderful place. just wonderful
Kensington market, if they like hippies.
im not sure thats a an appropriate venue for a date. try near harborfront. nicely designed and very cool at night
nnuts; out of brooklyn, the girl comes in her car, meets the parents of boy, picks up the boy in her car, goes to a fancy restaurant
on first date, she pays of course. She asks the boy if he has any experience cooking, baking, cleaning, and shopping.
It a whole different ball game dude! u know i’m j/k.
youre the boss, do what u want as long as its fun and appropriate.
Toi: I visit TO quite often as my kids live there. Once when I was there in late December, there was a picture in the paper of people lined up for at least 2 blocks because Honest Ed’s was giving away free turkeys. They always seem to have some gimmick to attract crowds. I must admit that I haven’t actually been there in many years. Ed and his family have done a lot for Toronto.
ya i think he died. nebach
Ed Mirvish passed away in 2007. What some may not know is that he was a big baal tzedakah, and was friendly with many in the frum community in Toronto.
Depending on the time of year, Yorkville at Bay and Bloor is a nice place for a walk, as is the area known as “The Beaches” east of downtown along Queen St. and the boardwalk.
There are a number of nice kosher restaurants in the city, but unfortunately, the classiest one, 398 West, recently closed its doors. Try Marron or Bistro Grande on Eglinton.
yichusdik im impressed.i was at all those places w my wife. the beaches arent so well known and are gorgeous. modesty, or lack thereof, is a problem both at the beaches and yorkville, and for sure at this time of year
Make sure you dress warm , Bring some snow boots
You can go Ice Skating, Skiing or have a Curling tournament
ZD, maybe you would have liked our July. temperatures hovered around 100 Farenheit, little rain, and not a polar bear in sight. Yesterday was about 88 F.
TOI, I suppose the modesty issue is the same as it is anywhere in the summertime. Unfortunately that is today’s reality.
