Matt Stabile — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 12:00:55 +0000

By Natalie Taylor Toronto is synonymous for food-centric neighborhoods such as Greektown, Chinatown, and lately, Ossington Avenue. But St. Clair West neighborhoods, Wychwood Heights and Hillcrest Village, spanning from Bathurst to Winona Drive, are undergoing a foodie renaissance. The St. Clair strip (near Dufferin Avenue) was predominantly known as Toronto’s [...]

A Perfect Bus Ride From Toronto To New York City

Brit Weaver — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 16:00:24 +0000

Not even the coffee shops were open as the streetcar stopped outside of Toronto’s Greyhound Bus Terminal on Bay Street. It was 6 a.m. and the streets were deserted — not just from the blockades for the G20, but mostly because Torontonians are not usually drifting the streets that early [...]

Your Guide To Dodging The G20

Brit Weaver — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 17:00:39 +0000

Yesterday there was tension in the air. Riding around downtown Toronto, doing some errands, it was clear that drivers and transit-drivers seemed to be in a foul mood. Maybe it’s the increased police presence or the closure of the city’s businesses, but the car-honks and streetcar-dinging were just the minor [...]

Feeding Schedule In Toronto: Your Guide To The City’s Best Eats

Brit Weaver — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 15:17:56 +0000

Toronto truly is a city of summer beauty. Actually, most places bathe in brilliance when the sun is shining. However, for me, Toronto is more than just glittery Queen West (the shopping district) and the infamous Yonge Street — lined with hocked gadgets and over-priced jerseys. To me me this [...]

El Almacen: A Cure For My Post-Travel Blues

Brit Weaver — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 18:00:23 +0000

I think that I speak for everyone when I say — well, write — that it doesn’t take long for you to want to return to where you just came. It has been just over a month since my return from South America, and I already miss the idiosyncrasies of the [...]

Dealing With PTF (Post-Trip Funk): My Return Home

Brit Weaver — Wed, 12 May 2010 12:00:03 +0000

It’s been over a week since I arrived back here in North America, switching hemispheres, jumping from Fall to Spring – yet again. I’m sure most, if not all, can relate when I say it’s been surreal. Even when reading Jon’s post on the PTF (Post-Trip Funk), I kept saying to myself: “that could never happen to [...]

The Great Debate: NYC vs. SF

Brit Weaver — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 19:01:43 +0000

It seems that North Americans are perpetually torn and divided on which “coast” to favor. Seeing as the United States and Canada are such expansive countries, it’s a luxury to be able to judge those on the other side of the nation. In Canada, there is a quiet, yet pervasive, [...]

The Coffee Culture Boom: Is London Really The Next Coffee Town? (And The Case For Toronto)

Brit Weaver — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 21:24:20 +0000

This week the NY Times hailed London, England, as the next city for the coffee craze. Although the major corporations, like Starbucks, are pervasive in this international city, there seems to be a movement towards the smaller, independent shops that see coffee as an art. But, as most people know, [...]

Where To Be “In” In Toronto

Matt Stabile — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 13:53:48 +0000

Having just returned from Québec, I’m reminded of how Montrealers think that the words “cool” and “Toronto” are impossible to use in the same sentence, unless they’re talking about the weather. Allright, so maybe Toronto is no Montreal (no offense), but North America’s fifth largest city is starting to gain [...]
