Just to add to my earlier post, someone PM'd me to discuss the area around Plaza Latina on Milvan and the fact that it's not all that safe. I wanted to add that because it's true that it's not the best area and there have been problems there in the past with guns, etc. Also, it's only a hop, skip and a jump from Jane/Finch, which is one of the worst areas in Toronto. That being said, I've warned my husband of that in the past but he still goes. He likes to see the guys and he gets his hair cut there. You should be warning your husband of the areas of Toronto that are not safe at night or otherwise because they think they are street smart because they were in the DR and they have no idea of what things are like here and they could really land themselves in a bad place without even realizing it.

Yep it has been proven more than once that bullets will hit people that were not the intended target. The Jane and Finch area is dangerous at night but I have been there a few times in the day time and felt perfectly safe.

Default You nailed it!

Too funny - but too right!!!

Default Dominican Restaurant

Someone in here mentioned the plaza on Milvan Dr in Toronto - there is now a FABULOUS Dominican restaraunt in there....

As for La Rumba - I have been there once.... I found the music horrible (and I like just about everything), and I really felt uncomfortable - almost like my life was at risk just by being there... Security pats you down before you walk in the door (and there is a metal detector that you need to walk through as well). Just doesn't give you that warm fuzzy feeling...

There is a guy that I know from the DR that will be starting up karaoke soon (if you like that kind of thing)... I will post more when I know for sure...

Been to Jane/Eglinton or Keele/Lawrence lately? BY FAR worse than Jane and Finch these days...

I knew about the Latin Night at on the Curve on Wednesday's, but I've never been and it so close to me, I'll definitely check it out one of these days.

Also Fregata on Dundas in Mississauga used to have Latin Night on Tuesdays.

I don't frequent any of those areas regularly for the reason of safety but I'm sure it's quite possible the areas you mention are worse. I only said Jane/Finch was ONE of the worst. Unfortunately, a lot of neighbourhoods where latin clubs are, are not in the best areas.
