Notes From A Bay Street CheapEater

In response to some very pointed, and accurate, comments from our friends and readers, we are introducing a semi-regular feature to the CETOblog - Notes From A Bay Street CheapEater.

As you know, the CheapEats Toronto team is constantly collecting recommendations and checking out restaurants across the city.  However, we've realized (with a little help) that between publications we are being a little stingy with that information and Notes From A Bay Street CheapEater is our first step in addressing this.

Gerry, or GT as he is known in your handy-dandy CETO guide, is going to start sharing his lunch explorations through the Financial District.  GT works off Bay Street and he is always trolling the food courts and back streets looking for for good and cheap eats to distract him from his day job. 

In addition to being a regular contributor to CheapEats Toronto, GT is the owner of Plethora Press and co-publisher of the CheapEats Restaurant Guides. He also takes on the daunting task of visiting almost 400 restaurants to ensure consistency in the style and cleanliness ratings before a new edition of CheapEats goes to print.  GT is one busy CheapEater.

Look for GT's first installment in Notes From A Bay Street CheapEater  in the next couple of days.

Lunch Money Day - Feb 23rd.

Today is Second Harvest's Lunch Money Day.

The idea is to brown bag it and donate what you would normally spend on lunch.

My friend, and CheapEats contributor AW sent me the following reminder: "As much as I'd hate to become known as a one-stop beg-a-thon, here I am, asking you to part with a buck or two tomorrow to help out on Lunch Money Day.

Second Harvest is my very favourite non-profit on earth - great people with great ideas doing great work - getting surplus fresh food that would otherwise go to waste, and delivering it into the mouths of Toronto's hungry and homeless. I just so happen to be volunteering for Lunch Money day tomorrow - if you're by the Exchange Tower, pop by and say hi while I sing for scheckels!"

It's a little late to brown bag it now, so to make it a little easier I've put a list of cheapeats where you can get lunch for under $5 below the fold.

They're here and they ROCK!

They're here and they ROCK!.

cheapeats toronto 2006 has arrived at cheapeats HQ!

After much heavy lifting, we opened the first case, and while we may be biased, but we think they are beautiful!

Mondo did a great job on the new cover, Michael's photo is wonderful, and the contents... well we think it's the best ever.

Congrats to everyone who worked SO hard to make this photo possible!!!
