Sunday is a day where I most do nothing and vegetate on the couch, re-energize and watch whatever reruns on TV. This Sunday though my friend gets me out to try Nicaraguan cuisine. I haven’t tried Nicaraguan cuisine before going to La Bella Managua but I have a feeling that I would enjoy their cuisine. […]

Going to 86’d Mondays at the Drake Hotel is becoming a regular indulgence. This past Monday featured a wicked variety of tacos and premium tequila tasting. Sweetening the event even further, free beers were also handed out as it was the Drake Hotel’s 8th birthday. Now with this promise of a good time, how could […]

I met brothers Jacob and Lucas Sharkey Pearce late summer last year at 99 Sudbury while doing an assignment for CityBites. On that short time that I spent to check out 99 Sudbury, I got into a lengthy conversation with Lucas how they strive to incorporate nutrition into the dishes they create. This extra mile […]

I came to know of this place from a former boss, Paul, who always shows up to our group meetings with a box of goodies coming from Sanremo Bakery. Each time a different treat, always such a pleasure to taste a cookie that doesn’t taste JUST sweet. There is depth and layers of flavour and […]

Unwilling to go home after hanging out at 99 Sudbury Market, I suggested to my friend Valerie that we go find good coffee. Being at Queen St. West/Dovercourt area, there’s little trouble locating one. My friend immediately suggested we walk further to Trinity Bellwood’s Park to go to this new place she discovered. She tells me […]

I used to visit King St West all the time about four years ago. But not always for the obvious reason of watching a Broadway show or see an orchestra play, but to visit my favorite outdoors/sports store Mountain Equipment Coop. There was a phase in my early Canadian years that I was addicted to […]
