On Saturday, over three hundred Torontonians dropped their trousers on the TTC as part of the second annual No-Pants Subway Ride—an event organized by Improv in Toronto, the volunteer prank group behind Finish Line Marathon, Subway Dance Party, Dinosaur Protest, and Where's Waldo in the Eaton Centre. The event began at Queen’s Park at 3 p.m., as hundreds of cold Torontonians huddled around awaiting instructions.

Luckily for you nineties types, local label Common Cloth is a step ahead on the road back to minimalism. For their current fall/winter collection, scissor sisters Melanie Talbot and Kristina Bozzo cut refined, modern...

Torontoist's frustration with H&M has, in the past, been limited to its button-flys and men's selection; not exactly earth-shattering stuff. H&M is, by most definitions, a public darling, helping to break apart the retail store stereotype that cheap in cost must mean cheap in quality, helping us all afford cashmere and merino wool.

Torontonians are, to say the least, an opinionated bunch. So instead of a simple "Best Of" list to cap 2006 off, the Torontoist staffers have racked their brains about everything (books, songs, restaurants, people, places, stores, newspapers, politicians, musicians, and a lot more) to bring you their choices for the very best and the very worst of our city this past year. It's Torontoist Love/Hate 2006, and you can find a new one every day at noon from December 26th until January 1st.
