Toronto attractions for visitors
This is my list of unique Toronto attractions for visitors. I’ve lived in Toronto for 25 years and have explored many parts of it – so this list is a little different from what you’d find on Travelocity.
Tibetan restaurants
Toronto is unique in that you can find almost any cuisine in this city. One of the more unusual (and tastiest!) cuisines you can try is Tibetan.
Below is a set of Tibetan restaurants that are all located near each other. I used to live nearby, and remember that Himalayan Kitchen was good.

Jacob Eats: Pocari Sweat
The Pocari is a rare Polynesian bird who’s sweat was a prized elixir in the 1600s.

Jacob Eats: Couque d’Asses
The visionaries. The mavericks. The dreamers. These are the people who move humanity forward.
And then there’s me. A dude who wants to eat weirdly-named treats and watch the world burn.
For several years I’ve wanted to buy, eat and write about weird snacks like Stik-O and Hot Kid Ball Cake. And then I saw something on a shelf that made me take the leap.
So, today I’ll be tasting a treat called Couque d’Asses and sharing my impressions with you.

How to save LinkedIn posts permanently
[Code updated on Sept. 14, 2024 to work with Linkedin interface changes]
Are you trying to copy a Linkedin post and all its comments?
If so, this article will show you how to do that. Linkedin makes it intentionally difficult to save old posts and to search through them. With this method, you can save insightful posts to your personal computer – and search through their text for years to come.

Drag the button below into your “Bookmarks bar” to create a clickable bookmarklet:
