8 h. ago Toronto's most iconic Jamaican patty shop opening in new neighbourhood

A Jamaican patty shop in Toronto that could very likely be categorized as the city's most iconic is gearing up to open a brand-new location, but it won't be around forever.Many are of the opinion that the almighty Jamaican patty is at least equally worthy of signature dish status in Toronto as the city's official signature dish, the peameal bacon sandwich.In terms of accessibility, at least, you'll be far more likely to find yourself within spitting distance of a patty than a peameal bacon sandwich, save (maybe) for if you're physically inside of St. Lawrence Market.Indeed, there's really no shortage of places in Toronto where you can find a patty when the craving hits, so much so that it would be entirely conceivable to think that they'd all just blend into the background.Against unparalleled competition in the city, though, Oakwood Village's Randy's Patties has managed to rise above the noise and stay there ever since 1979.After shutting do...

15 h. ago Leafs players roamed Toronto streets before playoff games and hardly anyone noticed

There's a common belief held that if you ever find yourself as a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs, your life will never be the same.With a rabid media market, eagle-eyed fans, and about as much pressure as any professional athlete could be expected to have, even fringe Leafs players are assumed to have a tough time being anonymous in Toronto.But that might not exactly be the case.Posted up on the corner of Bay and Front streets before Game 1 and 2 against the Ottawa Senators in the opening round of the playoffs this week, fan Brian Encarnacao shared a few videos on his Instagram page of Leafs players opting to walk down the street to Scotiabank Arena rather than take a car or public transit.With thousands of fans packed into Maple Leaf Square, the arena itself, and nearby bars, restaurants, and condos to watch the game, you'd imagine the players would be bugged by people trying to stop them for an autograph or a quick pic.One of the players spotted by Encarnacao before both...
