Yup, one of
Toronto's legendary emporia...
Honest Ed's at
Bathurst and Bloor. Believe it or not, there is a twin of sorts in
Tokyo as well called
Don Quixote (or
Don-Ki-Ho...as the Japanese call it there). When I was a kid, my family used to go to Ed's all the time. It was just like a labyrinth inside.
After our lunch at
The Thumbs-Up Eatery nearby, Shard and I decided to finish up things with a coffee somewhere. We had initially thought about hitting the local
Starbucks, but instead we came across this place called
Snakes & Lattes on the north side of
Bloor, just west of
Bathurst.
As it says in little print on the awning, it's a
Board Game Cafe. The coffee certainly wasn't expensive for me...it was just
$2.75 for an Americano. But if you want to play a game, it'll cost
$5. And the above picture shows just one section containing a ton of categorized board games: anything from
D&D to chess. I even saw a couple of
Star Trek games. I'm sure the gang from
"The Big Bang Theory"would feel at home there. I would put up the website address but when I checked, it was rather obvious that it was still undergoing some measure of construction.
