It's pretty difficult to get excited about air travel. Especially if you're not bound for an exotic vacation destination or flying first class. But Porter's really onto something and they made my Newark to Toronto flight one of the most enjoyable in…More »

You'll smell Bonjour Brioche before you ever see this wee cafe in Toronto's Leslieville neighbourhood. I took the Queen streetcar and almost missed the place but knew I wasn't far off when the heady scent of fresh bread hit me.

One look at the…More »
