Niagara/Toronto - Things todo besides poker

[MERCER]

Help!!!!

I rarely post on twoplustwo but read the forums daily. I need some help. My wife and I are going to Toronto on March 21. I have two days of meeting and then we are renting a car. The problem being what todo Friday and Saturday nights.

We are going to see Phantom of the Opera on Thrusday night in Toronto. I was thinking heading to Niagara to get a few hours in at the poker room Saturday but Air Supply (Dont' Laugh) is sold out and doesn't seem to be much todo that week-end.
Should I just stay in Toronto? Is Rama any better? What can a couple early 30's do that might not be on a website?
I've been to Toronto before and have done the CN Tower, Comedy Club etc...
Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks
Jason

Spend Saturday or Sunday afternoon in Niagara On The Lake. Lots of interesting little shops and restaurants. You can also do a few wineries in the area.

QFT.

You'll probably want to forget about the poker at Niagara, but while you're down there you can score some MAJOR brownie points with Niagara-on-the-Lake. This place is like every chick's fantasy. Quaint downtown shopping district, beautiful historic houses, carriage rides around town, etc, etc.

The wine tours we went on were pretty sweet as well. If I remember right, we went to "Chateau de Charms" and the "Jackson Triggs" wineries, and blew a TON of money on wine.

Between Niagara and Niagara-on-the-Lake there's the botanical gardens, which my wife was all about.

If you're a baller (or looking to waste a bunch of money on an anniversary like me), check out the restaurant at the top of the Fallsview Marriot. If you get one of the later reservation times, and a table near the window, you can have a $300 dinner, complete with sommelier service while the fireworks are going off over the falls (not sure if they do this year-round). Also, after dinner, the walk overlooking the falls between the Marriot and the Fallsview Casino is really nice.

Anyway, yeah... Niagara and Niagara-on-the-Lake are pretty much whatever you make them. If you want them to be a chincy wax-museum tourist-trap, they can be. If you want to make them a romantic weekend, you can. If you want to ditch your wife and gamboool all weekend, you can do that too.

Just saying... by sacrificing your dignity for a weekend, and skipping the casino for two days, you can score more brownie trips in two days than you will for the rest of the year. She'll be loving every second of this.

By the way, is Lord of the Rings still playing in Toronto? That was another trip my wife loved (seperate trips, a few months apart).

they have a fireworks schedule but basically 1 a month they are shooting them off at some point.
.

Basically If you really love your wife, you show her the falls and then go to Niagara on the Lake , go to a fancy bed and breakfast. Take her out to dinner downtown and rent "love story" and watch it with her in the Jacuzzi.

If you sort love your wife. You take her on a day trip to NOTL , stay in Niagara Falls have dinner at Marriot or Hilton (resturant at Fallsview Casino option as well) possibly go to Casino after or again Clifton hill.

If you just are kind of dragging her along, stay at the Casino or Hilton (get the jacuzzi room because hey your a nice guy) bring her to the Noodle Bar at the Casino and drop her by the nickle slots.

FWIW if you are going to play poker at Fallsview call them and get your name on a list 2-3 hours before you plan on being there. Get the name of the person who put you on the list to becuase they tend to "forget" to put you on it.

is your wife into seedy underground poker rooms in Chinatown?

[MERCER]

No but a highschool friend of mine lives in Markham (chinese) and I have been to some very good restaurants in chinatown.

I was considering a raptor game but I'm not into basketball.
