J+O, more exclusive stuff, Helmut, Wang, bit of DRKSHDW, friendly atmosphere
Nomad, decent prices/sales, cool staff, good selection, cdg, gosha, off whtie, CPs, a lot of diversity
Fashionably Yours, cheap consignment, stuff can be a rip off but some decent finds if you go often
haven, lots of jap stuff - wacko maria, wtaps, uc, all very exp tho


don't thrift in toronto, go to the suburbs for that

Holts has gone totally downhill, it's full fob now. yorkdale location is better than bloor
Contraband is overpriced, but cool staff and nice guys, str8 streetwear
Serpentine is overpriced and poorly run

>>9983257
Contraband had some suiting (Thom, KVA) but they're gone now I think, and you forgot Da Zoo, which is closed for a few months to move locations apparently. They carry Ann D, Rick, Plokhov, UC, MMM, etc. and often have a lot of older season stuff on deep sale.

J+O is pretty whatever in terms of their buys, nothing really interesting imo. Lots of the same stuff you can get at The Bay.

Lost & Found, right across the street, is cute for like Americana stuff (Dana Lee, nicer Levi's), and Blue Button Shop is basically the Jap version of L&F. They carry Kapital, which is rad.

Working Title is cool and fairly new, they have lots of streetwear stuff from what I remember (Gosha, Eytys), but I have only been in once.

I Miss You Man is probably one of the best consignment stores, lots of cool stuff for cheap and they're super friendly. A little more under the radar too so stuff stays on the shelf longer.

Serpentine is trash. Worst staff and pretty underwhelming/overpriced selection. Da Zoo is way better for this style.

This city fucking blows.

Holts is still decent for fragrance and skincare and makeup and gifts. Their shoe section isn't bad either. As a girl, the contemporary section is fine but hugely overpriced. I've never been to the Yorkdale location.

>>9983748
agree.
black market is shit than it used to be. full of xl overpicked rejects. thrifting here is generally meh. all the cool hipster kids drink at ronnies.

you guys ever had shwarma pizza? Shits fucking amazing. Yummy pizza at lansdowne and dundas has it or chitos right by lansdowne station. just pizza with a bunch of chicken and delicious shwarma sauce

>>9986000
damn that sounds good i need to check that out tbh

>>9986000
never thought shawarma pizzerias would come and shill their products on /fa/

wow

>>9985809
Rosedale doesn't even connect to the PATH. I'd say St. Andrew or Bay have the highest concentration of well-dressed people. Museum is the most interesting, at platform level. Union station will be great if the renovations are ever completed.

>Contraband has a big sale
Contraband closed months ago

>>9987126
They have a new location...

No

Amerifag looking to emigrate to Canada or Australia here: What is the average cost of living like up in Toronto/the surrounding suburbs?

>>9987395
You'll be fine with a minimum of 1500 a month if you have roommates and can cycle. Driving/parking and transit are more expensive. Depends on your hobbies and interests too. Toronto is pretty expensive but it's a good city

>>9983819
>harbord house

My boy. Also, try Harvest Kitchen which is just down the street.

Any ideas for where I can get a job this summer (and maybe after that too) in Toronto with no work experience yet

I want to move out for uni but I need $💸 before I can afford the 1500 Tripsk is talking about

>>9988328

retail or food service though you'd have to live pretty frugal

volunteer for shit and make up extra curricular or exaggerate extra curricular stuff that you did in secondary in order to look good. volunteering has the double bonus of making you look good as well as getting you experience while you search for a job. write yourself a resume, and get decent references (any sort of neighbors, teachers or anybody else that's older and "experienced" in your life that will talk highly of you is a good idea). after making yourself a good looking resume, get like 40 applications and print out like 40 copies of your resume, do all the applications and attach your resume to them. having a resume will put you one step ahead of most people. look up tips for job interviews, and be sure to call the places you've applied at like 3-4 days after you've dropped your application off, just ask them if they've reviewed your application (some businesses play hard to get with hiring, idk why). get a few part time jobs or a full time job if you're lucky enough with this.

thanks fam

i'll google summer jobs in toronto too.

are there places i could apply that i might not have thought of?

>>9991699
i like your digits by the way

Any of you nigs go to Pan Am games events?

go to your local library and take out a book about job interviews and the questions interviewers ask. books especially that give you what answers to give.

It will be all stuff that will give you confidence b/c it all makes sense when you read it.

Also, when i was younger I didn't realize that first call they give you to set up the interview, is actually the first part of the interview : S and a book had to explain this to me.
