    A listing for Highway 7. Cool!…read more Where do I begin? Many moons ago, I remember being an undergraduate student, taking summer classes. I occasionally got to take my dad's car to and from York University. Sometimes, I'd be a bit daring and drive on Highway 7. Highway 7 was different back then. It was a single lane in either direction for a stretch. You needed your high beams on at 10 pm. These days, you can find Highway 7 to have three lanes in either direction and you still have traffic congestion. You have urban sprawl. More people choose to live in the suburbs. You also have more retail and urban development to accommodate them. It's an interesting highway. I can get to and from work using it. It stretches as far as highway 40 to the west, near Sarnia. I am more used to the eastern part of it. I don't visit Ottawa as often as I should. However, I am on Highway 7 to and from Ottawa. It's a nice alternative to using the 400-series highways to get there. I probably spend more time shopping on Highway 7 than anything. CF Markville, Times Square Richmond Hill, and SmartCentres Woodbridge come to mind. It's convenient. Parking is free. It has everything that I need. Grabbing takeout is also easy. I don't know why I am still on a McDonald's kick, but there are many McD's along Highway 7 that you will never go hungry unless you dislike its menu. You get quite a lot of restaurant variety, from Yin Ji Chang Fen in Markham, to Dosa Dosa in Brampton. When there's an accident on or near Highway 7, you can feel it. The congestion builds and you need to find another street that runs parallel to it to take. Highway 407 runs, for the most part, parallel to it. It's a tradeoff between shelling out to breathe better, or saving money and fuming. I like Highway 7. It has everything that I need. It's also nice taking it to and from work when I need a change of scenery and pace. (416)

    The traffic...my God the traffic! This street has gotten substantially worse year after year. I'm…read moreso glad that there's a Yelp posting (however surprising) about a street. The amount of cars throughout Markham and overall in York Region has grown exponentially. Instead of rapid bus lanes and bike lanes we need more traffic lanes! Highway 7 is the "non-highway" equivalent to HWY 401. This road should have 6 lanes going both East & West...even then I have my doubts that traffic would improve. I hardly see people actually wall up and down this street enjoying their time. There comes a point where we have to accept that cars (with the occasional bus) is the way to go. Take away a bunch of intersections, decrease traffic lights, increase the speed limit, add laneways and let's drive from Brampton to Markham in 30 mins!

    Location This event is now hosted on Enterprise, in the same…read moreplaza as Good Catch, Goodlife and the VIP cinemas. Parking (including underground) is quite limited there - so best to come carpooling or explore nearby parking. One good thing is that the organizer does have a designated parking area setup for people coming in. Setup There are multiple vendors - from food, drinks to small gifts, organizations and even non-profits to promote anything! There are also festivities and live performances based on a schedule - so make sure to grab a seat if you want to watch any of them. I usually come for the food - to see what's new and exciting and what is not out there in restaurants. Inflation over the years have risen a lot of prices - so it could range anywhere from $10 for a drink to $15-$20 for food. Quantity wise - depending on where you look - can vary. You may have to spend at least 1-2 dishes to feel full. It's a staple yearly event that happens in Markham - definitely do check it out - and you may little hidden surprises !

    It's been almost a decade since I've frequented NIU. Is there a more iconic, summer asian food…read morefestival tbh? I can't think of one. NIU's always been synonymous with funky smell, gimmicky lights, a packed crowd and overpriced food. Yet the reason, I suppose ppl go is the camaraderie with friends and for a night out w/ significant others? The annual event always happens in the markham VIP theater parking lot and you'll probably need to park near the AVIVA building. Parking fills up quick so you might need to end up parking far and walking over. As soon you get near you'll notice the pungent smell of stinky tofu wafting through the entire lot and permeating your nostrils. My first year back this year w/ my gf and everything started at $10+. I think I must've spent close to $150 by the end of the night. Gf was happy. My wallet? Not so much LOOLL. They had dance, band and singer performances on a main stage throughout the night (basically like an outdoor concert). If you get lost from your group of friends good luck trying to find them cuz chances are you're not gonna have good cell signal either. You'll see a lot of gimmicky food vendors at NIU so pick and choose wisely! Cool experience for a first time if you've never been. If you've already been, you can hard skip a couple years before revisiting. It's always the same thing so you won't ever feel the FOMO.
