I know this isn't the best way to experience the Danforth's food, but hey, I was pleasantly surprised. As I have been two years ago and was unimpressed, this time around I honestly did have a good time, and I didn't experience anything really negative, other than the crowd getting bigger as I moved further eastward, and corporate sponsorship vehicles for things non-Greek (which I ignored).

It definitely isn't for everybody, but it does promote the neighbourhood to those that have never been.

Well some people enjoy the crowds and the party atmosphere. But i realized, Friday night is the best time to go. Saturday is a bit much. Things are never perfect when an event tries to be everything to everyone, but lets you experience something different. Walking around on the Danforth with no traffic can be rather nice though.

I didn't think it was worth it. Sure, the food was cheap and you can "savour foods from all across the ethnic board" but you can get the same food year-round without the crowds, line ups or street garbage. Beyond the regular Danforth fare, who goes to the Taste of the Danforth for grilled corn, baked yams and lemonade?

I've been in Toronto for 20 years and still haven't checked that out yet.

Maybe next year ...

Sounds like a good experience. Last time i went was 2 years ago midday on a Saturday. It got a bit too busy and hot. Seems like late afternoons is a better time to go. I might have to give it a try again, sounds very yummy.
