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.

What is true this year is that I have discovered a lot of hidden gems in Toronto. After all this time in Toronto, I haven’t really experienced Toronto as I have been now. It is such a novelty to me, as if I were a tourist myself. This past weekend, another discovery I made is […]

After a decade in Canada, you’d think that I would run out of first times. Despite me living in Scarborough a few years ago, I never really got into trying out the local festivals. Half the time during the summer, I am somewhere else, driving and exploring far out of the GTA. This year, I […]

One of my most favorite places in Toronto is this casual Bakery/Pub/Cafe up at the Annex, Future’s Bakery and Cafe. I came upon it about three years ago through an internet meetup. This place is always brimming with people. With really cheap prices, free WiFi, it’s a haven for UofT students on a budget. A […]
