When I first came across this delicious Israeli egg dish, it was at Aroma, an Israeli-based coffee chain that had opened up in the Toronto area. Eggs cooked in a tomato and roasted red pepper sauce, it is healthier and filling at the same time – perfect for this time of year. Since my first […]
Paris-based Canadian shoe designer, Tanya Heath has launched her interchangeable shoe line, Tanya Heath Paris, in Toronto’s Yorkville area. There are quite a few styles to choose from, ranging from pumps which can go from office-friendly to a fun dinner with friends to a gala with just a change of a heel to ankle boots/booties […]
My husband and I first went to Sorrel Restaurant last Christmas when it was located on Yorkville Avenue. The dinner we had was excellent and we decided to go for our Valentine’s Day dinner. Sadly, that didn’t happen as the restaurant was a victim of a devastating fire just a few weeks later (we went […]
The Coffee Mill, located on 99 Yorkville Avenue, is closing on September 7. The restaurant has been in the area since Yorkville was a prime hippie spot in the 1960s and offers old school European fare like schnitzel, cabbage rolls and strudel.

Seriously, that’s what my husband and I overheard a guy say the first time we went back in October. And I guess to a certain extent, he’s right – high ceilings, light-coloured walls and definitely, a very modern vibe. Located at the former home of the Cumberland Theatre, the shop and café (called the Nespresso […]
On Wednesday, September 11, the likes of Wendy Crewson, cast members of Rookie Blue and Paul Haggis honoured several women at Maison Birks at the Manulife Centre in Yorkville. The event, called Birks Diamond Tribute to the Year’s Women in Film, was a partnership with Telefilm Canada and an “official” TIFF event. This year’s honourees, […]

But big names “right” for Hazelton Lanes? Don’t they want a street front presence? […]
Actually, this isn’t a rumour. According to Retail Insider, the Roots store on the corner of Bloor and Bellair Street in Yorkville is moving across the street to MAC’s old storefront (89 Bloor West), a location that has been sitting empty for more than two years. This is disappointing, considering how much smaller the store […]
