Go figure.Situated directly at the corner of Bloor and Bathurst, steps away from Bathurst subway station, the restaurant has been a hub for those searching for a steaming bowl of hand-pulled noodles priced at $15 or less.Their Dan Dan Noodles, might we add, are out of this world.Nowadays, though, Torontonians will have to travel to the chain's other locations in Mississauga or, if you're in the mood for a road trip, Hamilton, to get their fill,...

We still have a long way to go before Sept. 22, which marks the official start of fall, but if you're already dreaming of pumpkin spice and cooler days, the Farmers' Almanac Extended Fall Forecast for 2025 has dropped, and Ontario's upcoming season is shaping up to be anything but predictable. So far, Ontario's weather this summer has been a rollercoaster to say the least, with a mix of unseasonably chilly stretches followed by waves of scorching heat, which might have you wondering what fall might bring. According to the long-range forecast, Ontario is expected to start the season on a cool and dry note, but don't get too comfortable.
