Book Description

April 24, 1999 Now city guides
Since 1981 NOW Magazine – Canada’s largest weekly newspaper – has delivered the best, alternative information on what’s on in the city. Now they’ve put their savvy into a book that unveils the real city for visitors and Torontonians alike.

From the latest haute restaurant to the best place for a tattoo, from where to buy Canadian-designed clothing or second-hand CDs to where to find a 24-hour laundromat or a bank open on Sundays, the NOW City Guide to Toronto covers the gamut. Any guide will recommend you stay at the Royal York Hotel and drop $300 for dinner at a chi-chi restaurant, but only the NOW Guide delivers the lowdown on backpackers’ hostels, the hippest hang-outs, and the cheap-and-great restaurants. The NOW Guide has it all – art galleries to blues bars, vintage clothing to bike rentals – with photos of the coolest places and maps keyed to the listings throughout the pocket-sized book.

Organized by neighbourhood and with a lengthy “Survival” section that provides everything a visitor would need (including a transit map, a listing of consulates, and the skinny on smoking and drinking laws), the NOW City Guide to Toronto is the comprehensive, insider’s handbook on everything and every place that’s cool and happening in Toronto.

With a readership of a quarter of a million people each week, NOW Magazine is Toronto’s most popular and comprehensive guide to what’s on in the city, covering city politics and global issues, as well as providing the latest listings for music events, restaurants, books, dance, and theatre. The NOW City Guide to Toronto is the first of a planned series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hip and happening trendy Toronto  restaurants, clubs and ot, August 2, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: NOW City Guide to Toronto (Now city guides) (Paperback)
Forget Frommer's. Ignore Fodor's. Anyone who wants to discover the real Toronto - the one tourists take several visits to learn about. Written by Canada's #1 restaurant critic and published by NOW magazine - Canada's leading alternative weekly - the CityGuide has listings for over 400 of the hippest restaurants in the city, and more for dance clubs, theatre, record stores, fashion and everything cutting edge about North America's coolest city that nobody knows about. Until NOW. And there's absolutely nothing about the CN Tower (y'know, that Space Needle thing). Witty, irreverent and definitive, the CityGuide is an invaluable field manual!

1.0 out of 5 stars Dismal, June 28, 2001

This review is from: NOW City Guide to Toronto (Now city guides) (Paperback)
All gloss, no substance. I was drawn to the promises of hip, interesting attractions, but the recommendations were very disappointing. As someone who buys a lot of travel guides, I'd strongly recommend sticking with Fodor's.
