After closing its original location in Toronto nearly a year ago, a Filipino-inspired bakery and chocolate factory are preparing to open in a fresh new space with a bigger vision.Founded by Rae Abayan, Bakerrae serves Filipino-inspired baked goods made from scratch using French techniques, while Chachalate — founded by Ry Lee — is an ethical chocolate company that uses directly traded cocoa beans.Though the closure of their former spot at 149 Main St. marked the end of an exciting chapter, the two businesses are embracing their second chance at a physical shop — one that will be bigger and better."Having our own space to create is really important," Abayan told blogTO. "We developed a great community in the Upper Beaches, and that was something we knew we wanted to get back."Thankfully for customers, Bakerrae and Chachalate will be uniting under one roof once again — this time, at a shop in East Chinatown near Broadview and Gerrard Street East....

You don't need to have ever stepped foot in a Chuck E.

Cheeses in the world. (Whether the restaurant still technically has or doesn't have an apostrophe 's' at the end of its name is up for debate.)There are what CEC Entert...

One wouldn't think that Canada's largest city would end up debilitated for weeks because of a few hits of snow in the middle of winter, but here we are, with the City of Toronto's cleanup efforts set to take a few weeks to complete after back-t0-back storms earlier this month.The wintry precipitation proved to be enough to derail streetcars, halt mail service and close businesses, and even though we haven't seen any substantial accumulation in days, some sidewalks and lanes in the downtown core are still impassable.Navigating the city is one thing, but parking is decidedly more of a disaster, even after the bulk of roadways are looking far clearer than just one week ago.Many side streets have been reduced to just one lane (either total or in each direction), with the others piled too high with snow to traverse, or blocked off by the city for future clearing.For the 55,000+ residents who hold parking permits for these roads, nabbing a spot has become exponent...
