Oh, how I love mini city adventures. If you’re like me and subscribe to a million different newsletters, city guides and blogs, you will have undoubtedly come across articles appropriately titled “10 most beautiful secluded spots just outside Toronto” or “This Ontario town is perfect to escape to”. So being the girl who sometimes suffers…

Happy Hour at Cafe Cancan
I’m not really sure if summer in Toronto is ever going to make an appearance. This year I purchased an ACTUAL rain coat because I just couldn’t deal with another day of getting soaked in the rain. With all this grey and gloominess on the outside, and maybe a little on my insides, I needed…
Lunch at La Palma
Dundas West might slowly be becoming one of my favourite areas of the city. It’s unassuming, chilled out, unpretentious and home to some of my favourite cocktail bars. The only thing I would change is their weekend opening hours. How is a girl supposed to get day drunk if you only open at 6!? I…
A Weekend in Nashville, Tennessee
One thing is for sure. After this trip, I believe in Nashville! About 2 months ago, a friend and I spontaneously decided to book a trip to Nashville for our joint birthdays. Why Nashville you ask? Well, we both LOVE the show, so the prospect of meeting a Deacon like cowboy was enough to get…
Breakfast at Simit & Chai Co.
Have you ever been scrolling through your Instagram feed, seen a picture of food and had the reaction “I must have this!”? So, this happened to me with Simit & Chai Company. I kept seeing these gorgeous and delicious looking sandwiches on what looked like wider and thinner bagels. I love me a bagel so…
Brunch at Lena Restaurant
So I’ve realized that I’m making the rounds of some of the most instagramable spots in the city but my no means on purpose. I feel a ‘best of’ list coming on. Today’s adventure has me at Lena Restaurant for brunch with some of my fave gals. It’s a grey and rainy Sunday so I…
Dinner at Oretta
I remember a while ago, I was finding myself at really small, dimly lit, dark places for dinner which was awful for taking pictures but the food was on point. Now there seems to be a resurgence of more open, brightly lit and larger spaces that are making their rounds on all the “must try”…
Exploring Coffee Shops at Quantum Coffee
Well this might be a first. I guess I can call this live blogging since I’m currently sitting in Quantum Coffee as we speak. It’s the Friday of Easter long weekend and I had some work (and blogging) to catch up on so I decided to head out and hit one of the many coffee…
Drinks at Alo Restaurant
It was a cold, rainy (maybe romantic?) and wet Thursday when I found myself in the cozy, candlelit bar of Alo. A few good friends and I had just finished a gluttonous dinner of authentic Chinese food and we were looking for a place to indulge in a few tasty libations. We started to make…
Brunch at Cafe Neon
I’m surprised it took me this long to write a new brunch post seeing as it’s by far my favourite thing to do on the weekend. Aside from sleeping in. Although it’s probably because I’m so hungry by the time we get to brunch that I forget to take pictures and then there goes the plan…
