8 h. ago Raptors coach defends Toronto as 'one of the best cities in the world'

During their 30 years of being an NBA franchise, the Toronto Raptors have often been fighting an uphill battle to earn recognition from players around the league.As the only current Canadian team in the league, Toronto has often struggled to attract top free agents, while fighting for media relevancy south of the border.In recent weeks, ex-Raptors Thad Young, Rudy Gay, and Lou Williams had all made remarks about some of the downsides about playing in Canada, with one uniting factor being an added trip to the customs line at the airport each time the team returned to Toronto.But for Serbian-born Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic, he wasn't buying into any of the perceived downsides of having an NBA career in Canada."Toronto is one of the best cities in the world. Toronto Raptors have the best fans in NBA.

19 h. ago Former Toronto steakhouse to finally get new tenant after months sitting vacant

One of Toronto's preeminent downtown steakhouses has closed down permanently, and after sitting dormant for months, it's finally about to get a new tenant.Let's face it: steakhouses in Toronto are a dime a dozen, but that doesn't discredit the very real and good things they're doing for the city's residents, namely ensuring we all get our fair share of Surf and Turf and $25 cocktails when the whim strikes.In the past year or so, the city's steakhouse numbers, both within and beyond the downtown core, seem to have been on a steep increase, with new-ish additions like Animl, Linny's and Blue Bovine earning their fair share of limelight in the past several months.Unfortunately, with such a surge also comes the inevitable loss of some preexisting establishments: it's just the law of the concrete jungle.This past summer, one such casualty was The Shore Club, Toronto's own location of what was once a nationwide chain that has since been reduced to just a sing...
