18 h. ago Trendy Toronto cafe announces sudden and indefinite closure after a decade

An award-winning Toronto cafe that has been a mainstay in the city's most tourist-heavy neighbourhood has unexpectedly shuttered, with management's confusing (though heartfelt) goodbye message leaving the community wondering about what's to come for business — and the prime address it has called home for close to a decade.On the surface, the closure of HotBlack Coffee appears to simply be the latest casualty in the undeniable demise of the Queen West strip, but missives posted both in the coffee shop's windows and on its social media pages explains that its situation is a bit more complicated, and its future, quite up in the air.General Manager Momi Kishi explained in a post dated March 25 why the cafe's doors, a stone's throw from Osgoode subway station, would have to close for at least a while a mere five days later. And surprisingly, it wasn't due to a rent increase or rising c...

19 h. ago New Japanese and Italian restaurant replacing popular Toronto Michelin spot

It's out with the old and in with the new in Little Italy, as one well-loved Toronto Michelin spot is getting replaced with a brand-new concept from a powerhouse husband-and-wife duo.It's no secret that Little Italy is far from wanting for great restaurants. As it happens, the neighbourhood is literally teeming with them, but that did little to lessen the blow when Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient La Bartola closed its doors just last month.A local staple for five years, the Mexican restaurant specialized in plant-based cuisine, working alongside pioneers like Planta and contemporaries such as the also-now-shuttered Rosalinda to prove once and for all that vegan food doesn't have to be boring.Just a hair over a month after La Bartola's last service, though, a brand-new concept is already on the precipice of opening the doors of 588 College once again, and this time it's taking the shape of a Japanese and Italian farm-to-table concept called Radici Project.Whi...

21 h. ago Senators coach accuses Toronto Maple Leafs of 'selling' penalty calls

The Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators clearly don't like each other after just one playoff game.Game 1 was chippy with big hits thrown by both sides. The referees ended up issuing 22 penalties, all of which occurred in the final 40 minutes.The Maple Leafs had six power plays, scoring three goals with the man-advantage to come out with a 6-2 victory. On the other hand, the Senators had only two power plays, a discrepancy that Senators coach Travis Green suggested post-game could be due to embellishment."We definitely have to stay out of the box, I'll say that," Green told reporters. "At the end of the game, sometimes, it can get a little out of hand once in a while."I thought there were a couple calls that they did a good job selling, it's tough on the refs, but we can't take that many penalties."The biggest dive you'll ever see.
