The cathedral church, Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore, also known as the Duomo, is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site; the famous Uffizi Gallery houses works by Botticelli and Leonardo da Vinci; […]
After months of having small sections at The Bay on Queen Street, TopShop and TopMan finally opened its doors at Toronto’s Yorkdale Shopping Centre. Crowds (and a decent size one, considering that it’s a work day) lined up outside of the store, waiting to get in. Because there was limited space, security was only allowing […]
E-commerce is back at The Bay! Many of the brands found in the historic Canadian department store can now be bought right from the comfort of your home, office or local coffee shop, just with a click of a mouse.
