Remember the ’80s hit Three Men and a Baby? Well, here’s Three Men and a Ghost. That’s right, in 1928, after a night of heavy partying, these three bachelors were left in charge of a wayward spirit who mysteriously arrived on their doorstep the next day. She’s pictured in the foreground. Trust us, she’s there.
Canadian Comedy Award-winning sketch troupe The Imponderables are at the Rivoli later this month promoting their web sitcom Bill & Sons Towing. We caught up with troupe member Tony Lombardo to ponder some deep questions, like “how funny is a piece of toast?
Last February, TOCA opened its doors at The Ritz-Carlton Hotel, riding on a tidal wave of high expectations. At its helm was acclaimed chef Tom Brodi, whose ten years at Canoe, the big daddy of Toronto fine dining, had left foodies salivating with anticipation over his newest venture.
Ann Taylor, a wardrobe mainstay of working women and chic suburban moms in the United States, is coming to Toronto. The brand plans to open two stores in the city this fall, marking the first time the brand has stepped outside the U.S.
Canadian singer-songwriter Patrick Watson has a few stories from the road. One that particularly influenced his band’s latest album took place in the Grand Canyon. The boys from Montreal were at a gas station when a man hopped out of a Jeep and asked if they were aliens.
It wasn’t without a bit of sentimentality (okay, a lot of sentimentality) that Joanne Kates announced her retirement from The Globe and Mail after 38 years as the newspaper’s restaurant critic. Still, Kates never intended to remain silent, which is why we’re pleased to announce that she’ll be doing two restaurant reviews for us each month.
Talk about wild horses. Back in 1908, horses performed death-defying feats of acrobatics, like diving head first into water from great heights. Good thing PETA didn’t exist back then.
With Toronto’s weather hitting a record-busting 30 degrees today, it’s fair to say our city’s sweaty, sultry summer has arrived. Which means sunbathing, drinks on the patio and lazing around while the sun shines. And that makes Natalie Petozzi and Abigail Van Den Broek our two most favourite people this weekend. Under their Glory Box brand, the pair are putting on a pop-up sale of upscale patio furniture.
White rum is something I’ve barely touched since high school, when my rugged, juvenile iterations of the Cuba Libre — a generous helping of rum topped with a splash of Diet Coke and half a lime squished in for good measure — made it lose its lustre after one too many hellish hangovers. But trauma be damned, there’s one cocktail that inspires me to make an exception: the Papa Doble.
From Eve’s biblical breakfast blunder to Isaac Newton’s gravitationally-induced epiphany — even down to that sleek device buzzing away in your pocket — the apple as a cultural symbol has persisted for thousands of years. But while apples may remain symbolically fresh, their physical resilience has traditionally been less reliable. Until now.
Quinta Restaurant, soon to be the latest player in the Dundas West scene, is the vision and brainchild of chef Leor Zimerman, who made a name for himself at such as hotspots as Opus Restaurant, Brassaii and Czehoski. His first solo venture, opening next month, will both pay homage to and expand upon previous endeavors, showcasing a rich multicultural mélange of gastronomic traditions.
