2 w. 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...

2 w. ago Iconic art that's been on display at Toronto subway station for decades is moving

For the first time in 47 years, a legendary piece of art that's called Spadina subway station home for decades is set to be displayed at a Toronto museum as part of a larger exhibition celebrating the work of renowned Canadian artist Joyce Wieland. In the mid-1970s, as the TTC was planning to expand its network with nine new subway stops stretching out of the downtown core, it commissioned several artists to create artwork for the upcoming transit stops, including Wieland. Recognized globally as one of the leading Canadian contemporary artists of the 20th century, Wieland's artwork "Barren Ground Caribou" continued the ecological themes in her work. The nostalgic quilt, which consists of layers of cotton fabric stuffed with synthetic batting, has been a fixture at the station's Kendal Avenue entry since it was unveiled in 1978. In 1975, Wieland said that the quilt "expresses aspects of the public's growing awareness of their environment and its preservation,...

3 w. ago Wayne Gretzky wine is under attack again at a different Toronto store

It seems an increasing number of Canadians are turning on Wayne Gretzky under the notion that he has, in many ways, turned on us by remaining cozy with tariff-wielding Donald Trump.Ever since being spotted sporting a MAGA hat while attending the U.S. President's election party in the fall, the former hockey player and national icon has been losing favour left, right and, yes, centre.Fans are now symbolically disposing of their Gretzky memorabilia and, most recently, boycotting the star's line of wines in various small ways.One hilarious miscreant swapped the labels for all Wayne Gretzky Estates Winery & Distillery products at their local Toronto LCBO, deeming the brand's varieties "sad & two-faced" and "weak & backstabbery" via rewritten taste profiles. (The retailer denied it ever happened, for the record, despite photo evidence.)Now, another resident apparently disappointed by Gretzky's social ties to a politician inten...
