Re: Toronto Only.
it`s Trono , of course . I will never forget when I came here 35 years ago and our Air Canada pilot announced welcome to Trono , my family and I had a chuckle , but it soon became the accepted pronunciation

Same with Erin and Aaron. How are they pronounced differently? Here in Australia both Dawn/Don and Erin/Aaron are pronounced the same as each other.

Re: Toronto Only.
Dawn is pronounced with an awe in the middle - it rhymes with thorn. Don, however, has a short o and rhymes with none.

Re: Toronto Only.
But to return the thread to things for Torontonians, I discovered a superb Indian restaurant last night, a bit by default.
Our fave Indian has been Jaipur at East Beaver Creek, just north of highway 7, since it opened in 2003. We were planning on that last night, but when I phoned to make sure it was open on Good Friday, the number was out of service. Horror, on further checking it's gone out of business.
Now I know why. Another much better Indian, much, much, much better is now just down the road at 760E Hwy 7. It's called The Host and serves the best Indian food I've ever had.
Aside from the usual Brit-Indian stuff there are numerous dishes on the menu that I've never heard of. We tried a starter (unfortunately I wasn't taking notes) but it was delicious and quite different from the standard stuff.
We were less adventuress on the main courses (for reasons of comparison) but they were superb.
We'll be going back there (very often).
And it's still T'rana.
