City Life: How To Design Your Condo Balcony

My balcony is tiny. I mean, it’s miniscule. If I were to lie down, I’m pretty sure I would fit perfectly within it. Needless to say, I’m not throwing any day jams out there but I still wanted to have a space that was decent enough to hang out on, have my morning coffee, read…

Travel: 72 Hours in New York, New York

Oh New York City. My love affair with the city that never sleeps continues. It seems as though I somehow find myself in New York at least once a year. And no matter how many times I go, I always feel like there is something new to explore, an interesting experience to be had and…

My Favourite Toronto Patios

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. The sun is out, my freckles are appearing again, clothes are lighter and the general mood in the air is just happier. Summer, you are the best. Summer also means getting out and enjoying the weather as much as possible because sadly, we know what is waiting…

Recipe: Baked Eggplant Parmesan

It feels like over the last few years the eggplant has gotten a bad rap. And you know EXACTLY what I’m talking about, thank you very much cellphone emojis. However, I digress, and will continue on about my post about the eggplant, the VEGETABLE. The eggplant can be a very divisive dish. It feels like…

Review: Mira Restaurant

If I was a betting girl, I would say that the next food trend to hit Toronto is going to be Peruvian food. Not only have I been seeing small pop ups featuring this eclectic cuisine, but some bigger restaurants have also been hitting the scene recently. More specifically, the trend seems to be focused…

Recipe: The Gusto 101 Cavolo Nero Salad

I love making salads at home because it’s a super easy way to get vegetables into my diet and for me, a good salad with a side of protein is the perfect meal. But who can eat the same salad every day right? Gusto 101 is one of my favourite restaurants in the city and…

Gretzky’s Restaurant Celebrates 25 Years

Since I moved downtown I’ve always lived on the same block. I collected my list of “go to” spots in the area for my coffee or lunch which seemed to constantly change, but one landmark always remained. Wayne Gretzky’s Restaurant at the corner of Blue Jays Way and Wellington has been around for what seems like…

Top 5 Toronto Brunch Spots

I can’t decide whether it’s brunch foods or just brunch that I like more. Lately I’ve been eating breakfast for dinner so it leads me to believe that I love the foods that make up the meal. I definitely don’t get out to brunch as often as I’d like, although my Instagram probably makes it…

Where To Eat Before a Game/Show/Concert

Since I started this blog, one of the most popular questions I get is where to eat before a concert, a Jays/Raptors/Leafs game or a show. Over the last few years, the dining options in the “Entertainment District” of the city have really grown. Most recently, Union Station has upgraded its food scene to accommodate…

Infinity Mirrors: Yayoi Kusama

The most talked about event in Toronto for the last few weeks has been Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Mirrors exhibit at the AGO. As the only Canadian stop on the exhibition tour, you have undoubtedly seen many perplexing and mesmerizing selfies of her various “rooms” flood your social media feeds. When I heard that the exhibit…
