Okay, so despite the fact that March Madness is something like 64 teams, we’re much too busy to come up with 64 individual things about Toronto so we’re getting the sweet 16 started early. This is our official bracket to find the most Toronto thing ever.
Normally we’d be all about inviting our readers to participate in the selection process but some of you are pretty darn lazy. So come with us as we break down matchup by matchup.
The CN Tower
The EX
Streetcars
Instagramming your brunch
Drake
Rob Ford news going international
Avoiding the Entertainment District
Spending your life savings on Leafs tickets
Not making eye contact on the street
Talking about improving transit but never actually doing anything about it
Sitting on a patio when it’s 5 degrees out
Peameal Sandwiches
Line ups for Condos!
Getting excited and ultimately disappointed by the Blue Jays
City Hall dance breaks
Forgetting the Raptors exist
MATCHUP 1: The CN Tower VS. “Forgetting the Raptors Exist”
Who are the Raptors? This one goes to the CN Tower by default. NEXT!
MATCHUP 2: The EX VS. City Hall dance breaks
Let’s be serious, as much as we love a good old fashioned old-people dance break, the EX introduced us to the cronut burger.
MATCHUP 3: Streetcars VS. “Getting excited and ultimately disappointed by the Blue Jays”
Streetcars are gross, have you ever ridden one? GEAUDBTBJ’s has been an annual tradition since 1995. Moving on…
MATCH 4: “Instagramming your brunch” VS “line-ups for condos”
Instagramming your food is so last year, line ups it is! NEXT!
MATCH 5: Drake VS “Peameal sandwiches from St. Lawrence Market”
Sorry Drake, but food over everything. On to the next one.
MATCH 6: “Rob Ford news going international” VS “Sitting on a patio when it’s 5 degrees out”
We’re so over Rob Ford news and are totally the people who ditch the parkas as soon as it gets into the positives. Patios win this round (and usually every round until someone passes out in the middle of the afternoon).
MATCH 7: “Avoiding the Entertainment District on a weekend” VS “Talking about improving transit but never actually doing anything about it.”
Improving transit has been in the headlines for decades and where has that got us? Let’s go with avoiding the Entertainment District like we always do.
MATCH 8: “Spending your life savings on Leafs’ playoff tickets” VS Not making eye contact on the street
We would make eye contact with anyone and everyone on the street for Leafs playoff tickets, it wouldn’t even matter how crazy we look.
Check back next week for when we battle it down to the finals!
