4 d. ago Toronto neighbourhood throwing a surprise street festival this weekend

Toronto's Baldwin Village is about to come alive this Saturday, July 5, as local merchants band together for an impromptu street party that promises to bring big energy to one of the city's most underrated neighbourhoods.The one-day celebration will feature a dynamic mix of music, food, art, and dance, plus at least a couple of artisan markets; there's the potential for a surprise fashion show, too! Each business along Baldwin is curating its own lineup of talent, and so far, the street is shaping up to host a mix of live bands, DJs, visual artists, and performers.It's a grassroots event in every sense. There's no formal street closure (yet), no major sponsors, or flashy branding; it’s just a collective effort by independent business owners who want to breathe new life into this little tucked-away village. Despite being home to some of the most charming patios and low-key restaurants in the city, it still flies under the radar for many Torontonians. But thi...

1 week ago Timeless $4.5 million Toronto home hides stunning modern interiors

If you've been house hunting and feel like you've seen one too many soulless, millenial grey boxes with "open concept" stamped on it like a buzzword, let me introduce you to a house that is none of those things.9 Lynwood Ave. is timeless red brick house located on a quiet, leafy street in Toronto's South Hill neighbourhood just steps from top-rated schools, green space, and the citys best amenities. Already off to a great start. But the biggest selling point of this home, in my opinion and realtor Gillian Oxley's, is the fact that this house retains much of its delightful original Arts and Crafts roots while still being a practical modern day family home. The foyer. You're welcomed into 9 Lynwood Ave. with a light-drenched foyer with heated floors, a gas fireplace, and a built-in bench that's original to the house. Chefs kiss. The living room. The home, boasting 4,4...

2 w. ago Toronto's Taste of Little Italy fest had barely any Italian food and people noticed

Taste of Little Italy is one of Toronto's most anticipated annual food festivals, but if you went expecting actual Italian food on the roster, you may have found yourself senza fortuna.Largely settled by droves of Italian newcomers in the early and mid-twentieth century, Little Italy has been a hub for Toronto's culinary and cultural scene — as well as the city's Italian community — for the better part of a century.Once almost exclusively populated with Italian bakeries, restaurants, and businesses, the neighbourhood's star has only continued to rise in recent decades as its business landscape, just like the city at large, grew increasingly diversified.Nowadays, a stroll along the stretch of College Street between Bathurst and Ossington will reveal nearly every type of cuisine under the sun, from Asian fusion brunch to Indian fine dining, so, it may not come as a surprise that Taste of Little Italy, the neighbourhood's annual weekend-long street festi...
