Christmas dinner in Toronto - need some crazy recommendations for something out of the ordinary.
Hometown girl who now lives out of T.O. (sadly) - returning home for the holidays. I'm looking for any ideas for places for Christmas dinner itself - something out of the ordinary than just 'the family sits down to turkey'. I've looked at the previous threads, but need to find something a bit more recent.
This year we'll be without one key family member - my mum - and I'm desperate to do something different that just 'sit around the table and reminisce'. It will be too painful for that. What are some of the more fun activities (which may or may not involve actual eating) that are open on Christmas evening and aren't already sold out? I'm open to any suggestions - if it wasn't hokey and geared towards kids I'd even consider Medieval Times (god forbid) or dinner theatre - that's how desperate I'm thinking. I'm looking through the eye and NOW online, but am hoping desperately that some locals have ideas of what they've done that has made Christmas a little out of the ordinary, and also what's out there that looks fun. Short of jumping out of an airplane we're open to ideas. We're a small party of maybe 6, tops, if that helps. Again, it doesn't have to be based around Christmas dinner/food activity... I'm looking for out of the ordinary activities to keep us distracted. Preference given to the GTA, although I'm open to places outside of it (Niagara Falls to Hamilton to surrounding areas).
Thanks Mefis!

The Toronto Serial Diners are meeting at King Asia Restaurant near Bloor and Kipling. Whether this would be suitable depends on your eagerness to enter into a discussion with a group of strangers on almost any imaginable topic, but likely movie or sci-fi related.

Do you like Indian food? Perhaps a stroll along Gerrard Street through Little India, followed by a delicious dinner and a kulfi?
