Brick Street Bakery - Totally worth the passport stamp. There, I said it.

When you're looking for a really terrific lunch in the Distillery District, come here for a sandwich. We sat down with a Roast Beef Sandwich, Lamb Sandwich, Vegetarian Sandwich…More »

I wish I could get the treatment we got at Harry Rosen in the Eaton Centre in most New York men's stores. A very helpful, very friendly gentleman named Roman was available to make suggestions based on our preferences. He was not pushy or aggressive.…More »

I love old, well maintained theatres. Massey Hall already had this one in the bag. However, when we found out that Eddie Izzard was doing a show while we were going to be in Toronto, we had to go. Combining old, historic theatre and witty, British,…More »

I don't like beer. So, you can imagine how ironic it must have been to find myself eating here. To add to the irony, I liked it so much that we came back for drinks and dinner the very next night.

Beer Bistro has a very impressive (I assume) beer…More »

I am definitely a fan.  Of course, it helps that they hired my brother to sing Talbot in Maria Stuarda, recently.  That's the reason we went to Toronto in the first place.

Fortunately for us and for Toronto, the Canadian Opera Company has come to…More »

What a beautiful theatre this is.  It's such a nice mix of modern and simple design.  There is no space-agey feel to it that will be regretted in 10 years.  Simple, refined, clean lines define this space.  It was nicely climate-controlled, open and…More »

I love, nay, am obsessed with chocolate.  If I could, I would take entire vacations that revolve around chocolate.  For now, I'll take vacations and find chocolate where ever I happen to be.

On a recent trip to Toronto, we were led to the distillery…More »

Fran's Restaurant.  Oy vey.

It gets one requisite star for availability (24 hours).  

They were open when we got in late to Toronto.  I had a regrettably greasy omelette and potatoes that I probably would have walked away from were it not for our 5…More »

If a really outstanding farmers market mated with Faneuil Hall in Boston and if Fairway in NYC mated with Chelsea Market - also in NYC, and if their resulting offspring got it on, the super hybrid grandchild would be the St. Lawrence Market. They…More »
