Okay, so despite the fact that March Madness is something like 64 teams, we\u2019re much too busy to come up with 64 individual things about Toronto so we\u2019re getting the sweet 16 started early. This is our official bracket to find the most Toronto thing ever.<\/p>\n

Normally we\u2019d 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.<\/p>\n

    MATCHUP 1: The CN Tower<\/strong> VS. \u201cForgetting the Raptors Exist\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Who are the Raptors? This one goes to the CN Tower by default. NEXT!<\/p>\n

    <\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    MATCHUP 2: The EX <\/strong>VS. City Hall dance breaks<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Let\u2019s be serious, as much as we love a good old fashioned old-people dance break, the EX introduced us to the cronut burger.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    MATCHUP 3: Streetcars<\/strong> VS. \u201cGetting excited and ultimately disappointed by the Blue Jays\u201d<\/strong>
    \nStreetcars are gross, have you ever ridden one? GEAUDBTBJ\u2019s has been an annual tradition since 1995. Moving on…<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    MATCH 4: \u201cInstagramming your brunch\u201d<\/strong> VS \u201cline-ups for condos\u201d<\/strong>
    \nInstagramming your food is so last year, line ups it is! NEXT!<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    MATCH 5: Drake<\/strong> VS \u201cPeameal sandwiches from St. Lawrence Market\u201d<\/strong>
    \nSorry Drake, but food over everything. \u00a0On to the next one.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    MATCH 6: \u201cRob Ford news going international\u201d<\/strong> VS \u201cSitting on a patio when it\u2019s 5 degrees out\u201d<\/strong>
    \nWe\u2019re 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).<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    MATCH 7: \u201cAvoiding the Entertainment District on a weekend\u201d<\/strong> VS \u201cTalking about improving transit but never actually doing anything about it.\u201d<\/strong>
    \nImproving transit has been in the headlines for decades and where has that got us? Let\u2019s go with avoiding the Entertainment District like we always do.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    MATCH 8: \u201cSpending your life savings on Leafs\u2019 playoff tickets\u201d<\/strong> VS Not making eye contact on the street<\/strong>
    \nWe would make eye contact with anyone and everyone on the street for Leafs playoff tickets, it wouldn\u2019t even matter how crazy we look.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    Check back next week for when we battle it down to the finals!<\/p>\n
