The Canadian Opera Company’s (COC) Operanation is one of my favourite events of the year – especially its VIP dinner. Catered by 10tation Event Catering and held at the COC’s the Four Seasons Centre fo the Performing Arts, the meal was definitely, in some ways, “different.” The first thing I noticed when I walked into […]
Wow, so many goodies at the spring One of a Kind Show this year! I was a little disappointed that my favourite spring artisan, Beverley’s Bakers (delicious butter tarts of all kinds) was not at the show this time around, but other favourites, including The Fishery and 3rd Floor Studio. In the meantime, I discovered […]
Scrubs in the City fundraiser for SickKids was held again at Evergreen Brickworks. It is the 15th year of this event, and approximately 900 attended, with a record-breaking $800,000 raised. This year’s theme was London’s Calling and the dress code was Posh or Punk. Event Co-Chairs were Lucinda Kogan and Molly Fitzpatrick. The décor was […]
The Interior Design Show, 2016 edition was this past weekend at the Metro Convention Centre. As usual, there were many exhibitors targeting small spaces. Some of our top picks are: Porter & Charles (via Euro-Line Appliances): Seriously, these kitchens are THE BEST! Considering more and more people are purchasing tiny, 400-500 square foot condos, yet […]
Many old favourites are back, including Trevor Kitchen + Bar, La Société, Sassafraz and One. Lee and Bent are also on the list, Luckee is not. Also missing is the restaurant at the Drake Hotel. Perhaps they’re just sitting this one out and will be back for Winterlicious 2016. Who knows? Prices remain the same […]
Yes, it’s for real (brand name is MerloCola) and it’s one of the many exhibitors at this year’s Gourmet Food and Wine Expo. I tried it and have to admit that it was quite…interesting. While the small sample was good, I’m not really sure if I’ll ever have a full serving. I think I’m a […]
Last Friday, I had the opportunity to attend the Toronto edition of the National Women’s Show at the Metro Convention Centre, covering the event as one of their bloggers. For those of you who follow me on social media, you might have seen many of the pictures! While many of the exhibitors at the event […]
French pop group, Yelle will be the featured artist at this year’s Operanation, to be held on October 16, 2014 at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts. It’s a week earlier than usual, and perhaps a good thing, since the party is often during World MasterCard Fashion Week, meaning for many (especially media), […]
As most people in Toronto know, Summerlicious starts this Friday. Again, some 200 restaurants will be participating in this twice yearly affair where people get to dine on a three course meal of $15, $20 or $25 for lunch or $25, $35 or $45 for dinner. However, what I’ve always wondered was how restaurant decide […]
