I attended FNL last night and I am definitely a fan!
Always buy early bird tickets. The line for those waiting to buy tickets was insane. I bought my ticket 5 days in advance. One of my friends tried to buy 2 days ahead and it was sold out.
Since I'm from Mississauga, driving was the best option for us. There is a Green P parking garage across the street which is beside the Intercontinental hotel. It was only $7 for parking that night.
I had nachos and Filipino seasoned fries. The food was not good. Since it was my first time there, I wanted to get the full experience and try the food. Next time I go, I will avoid the food and opt for street meat which is way better and cheaper. The drink options are pretty good. They had wine, beer, and liquor so everyone is sure to get something they like.
The atmosphere is amazing. I usually avoid going out on Fridays because I'm tired from work so this is a the perfect compromise of going out but not doing anything exhausting. Keep in mind that it does end early. On the night I went, the music stopped at about 11:30pm.
