It’s Thursday, and the weekend is fast approaching. Need stuff to see or do? We’ve got you covered. In this edition, a 90210 party, an urban photography festival, a very good time for Star Trek: The Next Generation fans and more.
Good news for Zara lovers and online shopping enthusiasts: Zara’s Canadian online shopping site launched for the first time earlier this week. The site is sleek, easy to use and is filled with every available Zara garment (a big plus, since stock varies from store to store).

The city of Toronto hasn’t been as excited as it is now about the sport of baseball since the back-to-back World Series titles two decades ago. Thanks to some serious wheeling and dealing, the hometown side is now one of the favourites to win it all this year.

Historical exhibitions are usually a bit of a snoozefest — when they’re about anything other than video games, that is. Bringing a dose of nostalgia to the Ontario Science Centre starting March 9 is Game On 2.0, a six-month celebration of video game history and culture. Here are five reasons why this could be the best exhibition to come to Toronto all year.
That a disaster is good for a local economy sounds counterintuitive, but an example shows how it works. When a section of Finch Avenue West was washed away by a flash flood in 2005, the city had to immediately rush in to bring the situation under control.
Last night, Recipe for Change drew a plethora of Hogtown’s most charitable denizens to St. Lawrence Market. FoodShare’s biggest fundraiser of the year saw guests wining and dining their way across the space, sampling goods from 30 chefs including Aaron Joseph Bear Robe, Rocco Agostino and Luis Valenzuela.
