Eddy's Dining Lounge [Ed. Note: Eddy's in the space-time continuum.] 8199 Yonge St. (N of Steeles, in Richmond Hill, a couple of blocks S of Highway Seven: but don't panic. Even if you're not coming by car, it's still surprisingly easy to get there. Just go to Finch Station and transfer to the GO Transit Richmond Hill "C" bus [it's an extra $2 cash fare]. Between 5:30 and 6:30, this bus leaves every 5 minutes or so. It travels north on Yonge, and according to an Eddy's employee, you should "get off at the Lick's". Eddy's is, apparently, very near to the stop near the Lick's restaurant. Anyway, if you miss it, just get off at Highway Seven and walk south.) 905-886-6566
