12 h. ago Chefs teaming up to bring one of Toronto's most iconic lost restaurants back to life

Two Toronto chefs are joining forces to bring one of the city's most legendary now-defunct restaurants back to life for one night only.Spend enough time with anyone who lived in Toronto during the '70s, '80s and '90s, and eventually the question "remember Ginsberg & Wong?" is bound to come up.For my part, being born in 1999 and all, I never got the chance to experience the legendary Jewish and Chinese proto-fusion restaurant that held court at Village by the Grange for years before quietly closing down in the '90s, but its legend has always loomed large.A perhaps unlikely combination of cuisines at the time, Ginsberg and Wong combined all the staples of a Jewish deli with Chinese classics. If one person was in the mood for a Reuben sandwich and another wanted Szechuan chicken, everybody was happy.Frankly, it sounds about as close to a utopia as you could possibly get.While many of the restaurant's print and radio ads from its heyday, as you may ...

13 h. ago Ontario rent prices keep on crashing and here's where they are cheapest

Though Ontario rent prices vary greatly based on where in the province you're looking, if you've been thinking of moving toward or within Toronto, now is an opportune time to get a (relative) bargain on a place.Though the GTA is perennially one of the most expensive places in North America to live, tenants have gotten a bit of a break in recent months due to the softening of the local real estate market that's got investors, sellers, landlords and realtors growing increasingly distressed, if not completely running for the hills.The average monthly rate for an apartment in downtown T.O. — as well as in North York, Etobicoke, Mississauga, East York, and other parts of the area — plummeted again in April, as Ontario as a whole saw the largest annual decrease in rent bills of any province.Rentals.ca and Urbanation, which crunch the numbers each month based on the listings available on their sites, now put Toronto's aver...

Toronto residents tend to fall into the trap of fancying ourselves the centre of the culinary world in Ontario (and that's not entirely without reason), but one new food truck has people trekking outside of the city for their larger-than-life bites.Quickly after launching in May of 2024, customers began referring to Andrew and Tara Schroeder's food truck, Mason Jar Food Co. as a 'classy food truck' and, while they hadn't specifically set out to create that, they admit that it does perfectly describe the business.Located in Haliburton County, the food truck, which serves up elevated takes on food truck staples, is the culmination of years of experience in the hospitality industry, both together and individually, for husband-and-wife team Tara and Andrew, who tell me they had dreamt of creating their own culinary venture long before opening the truck."In our travels, we would often point out how well a food truck could do at the&n...
