| - Visiting Honest Ed's is almost a right of passage in the Toronto scene. This place is so tacky -- it's almost as if a homeschooled fashion designer, who failed dental hygienist school, put the place together in a another dimension.
Then again, maybe that's the charm of Honest Ed's.
This place has a little bit of everything - for both the sophisticated Torontonian, and for the not-so-sophisticated Torontonian.
Ed's is great if you have a need for kitchen utensils - pots, pans - or for cheap household appliances. Even the pharmacy, general household cleaner area is ok for a few deals. And, just maybe, If you like canned food with lot's of salt, or low-grade spam, then Ed's is your place.
If you're looking for clothes or electronics, and there isn't something horribly wrong with you -- then you've come to the wrong place. Another con is that this place is almost locked-down like a prison: most doors are entry only, and there's limited doors to go out. All exits require standing in an impossibly long line of customers headed towards cash registers.
