Toronto has been called a city of neighbourhoods: The Beach, Yorkville, Chinatown, Little Italy, Greektown, The Annex; all have their defining characteristics that make them appealing to locals as well as visitors. And when it comes down to it, most of these areas are well-defined by the intersection of two major streets. Photo by David Urbonas from Flickr. Since the inaugural Yonge & Bloor installment of A City Intersected, Torontoist has made every attempt at......

Each weekday for the next two weeks, Torontoist is facing off local memes and blog drama in a tournament-style ladder and you, the reader, decide the outcome. March Madness begins today! View the current ladder here. Suggestions for next year will be recorded! Today's matches, Region I, 1st Round: The Giambroney vs. One Cent Now St. Clair ROW vs. York Subway The Gardiner vs. CN Tower Ice Starbucks vs. Parkdale The Beach vs. The......

Because there are only a handful of Canadians in the NCAA, (and who really cares about college basketball, anyway?) we thought we'd cook up a little March Madness of our own - Toronto style. We have created a tournament ladder of recent memes, blog drama and local news and for the next two weeks, you will decide the winner of each match. Sure beats betting on Kansas State. You can view the ladder full......

It was curtains in Orange County last night as FOX’s golden child threw its final punch. After four years in The O.C., creator Josh Schwartz has taught us that money can’t buy happiness, but it sure does buy a Range Rover full of jaw-dropping plot twists. At a time when television was dominated by Who Wants to Survive My Geek Super Nanny and other such reality gems, those lovable but not infallible kids from Newport......

The CouchSurfing Project has nothing to do with The Beach Boys or crowd surfing on a futon (although that must be fun) and has everything to do with traveling the world by the seat of a couch -- someone else's, that is. CouchSurfing.com is where couch surfers hook up with couch owners for a place to crash for a night or two for free at their travel destination. They can browse though the database......

In this post, Torontoist mistakenly implied that the Yard Sale for the Cure was happening only in the The Beaches/The Beach. It's time to clear up the confusion. Las year the Yard Sale for the Cure held it's inaugural event in the Beaches, but this year it has spread to 28 different places, including Edmonton, Oakville, Lorne Park, Bloor West Village / High Park, Leaside / Victoria Village, Thornhill, The Beaches and Peterborough .......

A little while ago, Torontoist posted about a call for crafty submissions for a zine to be sold at Crafternoon Tea, well now it's time to let you all know that said crafty afternoon is coming up this weekend. Crafternoon Tea Spring Edition is "a spunky indie craft/fashion market, how-to hive and charity tea-room all in one." On Saturday the 27th, 40 local crafters will be selling their one-of-a-kind creations, there will be a raffle,......

There is just so much good music to be found online and much of it as free and legal downloads. That's what Torontoist wants to share with you in these Le Mercredi Mixtapes and that's what *sixeyes share as well. So many artists, bands, and indie music labels offer mp3s that you could live in front of your monitor searching for new music. And Torontoist does.... here's what we've been living on lately. 1.......

Yeah. That's right. I'm back. The mysterious *Sixeyes (a.k.a. Alan Williamson). I am truly hoping that someone out there, in the sweaty mass of humanity called T.O., enjoyed at least one of the songs in last week's Mixtape. Or, at least a few seconds, or notes, of one of those songs. Seven songs that were, and still are, well deserving of more attention. Here is some more indieness, of tone and situation. 1. Rademacher -......
