8 h. ago Toronto's newest viral sandwich shop keeps selling out hours before closing time

There's a new sandwich shop on the block in Toronto, and the city is already going crazy for it.Lambo's, Vilda's, La Salumeria: Toronto is crazy for a good sandwich, and lucky for those of us that live here, there's no shortage of shops and restaurants in the city that crank out really, really great ones.Lucky for aspiring sandwich artists, the city has made a habit of raising its favourite sandwich shops to legend status when they feel it's deserved, so starting one, however risky, poses serious potential.That's a lesson that Pitmaster and Executive Chef Alex Rad, of Smoque N' Bones fame, is learning with his latest venture, Alfie's Sandwiches+Market.The doors of the Baldwin Village sandwich shop and market opened just a hair over two weeks ago, and, to put it lightly, people in Toronto are utterly obsessed.You don't have to take my word for it, though; instead, refer to the Instagram stories they post nearly every day, within hours of openi...

8 h. ago New Toronto collective wants you to party like it's 1999 with phone

There's a new event collective and apparel brand in Toronto that's trying to teach the city's partygoers how to connect by hosting phone-free parties.What was it like to party before the internet? It's a question that I, being of the tender age of 25 and only reaching appropriate party age long after my iPhone had already become effectively welded to my right hand, have contemplated often.No Instagram stories to be posted, no aspiring suitors asking for your Snapchat — just pure, present fun. Imagine that.Drenched in Gen Z idiosyncrasy as I may appear in making such a confession, I'm not alone.Toronto brothers Mich and Max Ward, alongside their best friend Christian Williamson, found themselves contemplating a similar question when they made the "somewhat rash decision" to leave their phones in the car for an entire weekend on a father-son fishing trip."It felt like we were kids again — fully present, laughing and connect...

8 h. ago Two friends open dream Mexican cafe in Toronto that's also a boutique

Just outside of Dupont subway station in Toronto, two friends have created a vibrant new space that blends nostalgic Mexican flavours, vintage fashion, and community. Wey Cup is a cozy but lively café and boutique that opened its doors last month, thanks to the duo that made it possible — friends Barbara Cervantes and Alejandra Blanco. On the café side, Wey Cup serves up classic coffee shop staples, like espressos, Americanos, and lattes, but it's the Mexican-inspired drinks that really stand out. Their "latte de mi corazón" is a sweet twist on a classic latte, made with creamy horchata. Their "café de olla" is a traditional Mexican brew infused with cinnamon and piloncillo (panela or unrefined whole cane sugar) that offers a taste of home for anyone missing it, or just discovering it. Other menu highlights include "grandma chocolate," a traditional hot chocolate topped with a...

This Mother's Day, Amanda Katz is inviting the city's motherless masses to unite. The founder of Motherless Day, she's created a pity party for those navigating Mother's Day through the veil of loss."I lost my mom to mental health in 2017, back when I was 21," explains Katz. "As with any loss, the tough days come and go. … But one thing that anyone without a mom feels is that Mother's Day sucks."Those flower bouquets and gifts-for-mom ideas that are in every window, that typically are met with such a wave of joy, instead for us they're a reminder of what and who is missing."In 2023, "after spending six years navigating that day along with my sister," Katz decided to flip the Mother's Day script. "I figured, why not reframe the day? Why not create the chance and the space to celebrate and commemorate the moms who would have still wanted us to celebrate, surrounded by those people who get it?&quo...

8 h. ago Tiny Toronto home with same owner for over 40 years is half the price of neighbours

In a Toronto neighbourhood where the average home sells for $1.5 million, finding any home under that is considered lucky. 140 Floyd Ave. is listed for only $795,000, which is basically like winning the lottery. Not only is this house very reasonably priced, but it is also the first time this house has been on the market in 40 years. The front entrance. And finding a house that hasn't been remodelled through every decade to the point where you have to gut renovate is nothing short of a miracle.The kitchen and mud room. Now, before we get ahead of ourselves, the home does need some work. For example, the kitchen is in need of a major remodel. The primary bedroom. And we're guessing the bathroom does too, since it wasn't even in any of the listing photos. The second bedroom. The windows also appear original to the house, which means they are probably drafty AF. A stained glass window in the kitchen....
