5 d. ago Staple Toronto restaurant closes permanently after over 25 years

A Toronto restaurant that has been a neighbourhood staple for the past 25 years has officially closed for good.There was a time when Little Portugal, the strips of Dundas West and College between Dovercourt and Lansdowne, was, more or less, the only place in the city where you could find great Portuguese food.That was decades ago, mind you, and, in the years since, Portuguese cuisine, much like every other global influence in the city, has outgrown the bounds of its historic enclave and planted roots in nearly every neighbourhood. Now, you don't have to look farther than a few blocks in any given corner of the city to sink your teeth into simmering fish stews or salty sardines; the city is rife with stalwart institutions that do Portuguese cuisine proud.In the case of the Junction Triangle, one such staple, since 1998 anyway, has been Piri Piri Grill.Fittingly named for Portugal's most ubiquitous culinary export, piri piri chicken, the restaurant has been a le...

2 w. ago People in Toronto fighting to keep neighbourhood restaurants and cafes alive

The debate surrounding interior neighbourhood restaurants, cafes, and retail is heating up in Toronto, as people raise their voices in response to a recent video that took aim at a beloved local pizza joint.Few pizzerias in Toronto are as great a point of pride for the city as Dovercourt's Badiali. Widely renowned as one of the top pizza restaurants in the city and resting on a residential corner, it's the definition of an institution.That's why, when it came under fire at a recent Planning and Housing Committee meeting, tensions surrounding it, and similar residentially-located businesses, flared."Definitely, Pizza Badiali is a huge issue, and it's been an issue for the church across the street," one resident stated in a now-infamous video clip from the meeting."They've had to block off their stairs because of garbage issues, and there's lines down the block, and it's definitely had adverse impacts on the neighbours that live clo...

3 w. ago Toronto intersection plagued by 'infuriated' drivers now considered urgent safety risk

A Toronto intersection where frustrated motorists wait out throngs of pedestrians has been identified as an "urgent" safety risk, prompting the City to explore new turning restrictions.The corner of St. George and Ursula Franklin streets regularly sees large crowds of students from the University of Toronto's St. George Campus. This pedestrian flow causes regular confrontations with impatient motorists attempting to find a gap in foot traffic to turn west onto Ursula Franklin from St. George.With tempers flaring and the fall semester now in full swing, the school is raising urgent concerns about the problematic intersection and seeking a fix before someone gets killed.In response to these concerns, Dianne Saxe, City Councillor for Ward 11, University-Rosedale, has requested changes to traffic rules at the intersection.In a letter addressed to Toronto and East York Community Council members ahead of an Oct. 22 meeting, Saxe noted that  "heavy pedestr...
