A trip to the BMV in the Annex is a mandatory precursor to Tafelmusik and Toronto Consort concerts.
Where else can I find books I really want to read for $1? Seriously. There have been some great treasures. The regular remaindered selection is excellent, but those $1 bins put it over the edge for me - heading toward Strand territory. The used c.d. selection downstairs is crazy - usually good jazz/blues/world options in the $8 - $12 range. I've never had much luck in the dvd area, but that likely has to do with my tastes more than the offerings.
Great place to pick up a book to enjoy while you're having a pre-concert soup or tea or falafel (gotta review Sarah's for sure).
