10 h. ago A massive sand dune is coming to the middle of downtown Toronto

While much of Toronto's downtown core can best be described as a concrete jungle, one area is getting a particularly intriguing dose of nature this summer in the form of an enormous artificial sand dune.The onslaught of warmer temperatures and sunny days signals the return of some of Toronto's most celebrated spring and summer traditions, from outdoor concerts at Budweiser Stage to the cherry blossom bloom at High Park, but this year, the city is also gearing up for some interesting new events and attractions to keep things fresh.Down at The Bentway, Toronto's reclaimed public space under the Gardiner Expressway, there's a particularly vibrant suite of programming scheduled to take place throughout the season, including the return of their popular roller skating rink and Art Socials.Some additions for the 2025 spring and summer season promise to be a little bit more... unique, though, like Sand Flight, an immersive dance performance that takes place atop an enormous sand d...

3 d. ago How this Toronto coffee shop invented the city's most viral drink

One caffeinated creation from a Toronto cafe has been breaking the internet (locally, at least) over the past few weeks, but its owners tell me that its conception was actually a happy accident.Toronto has had its fair share of viral food moments over the years, from ketchup and mustard-flavoured ice cream to delightfully jiggly cat-shaped pudding, but few — in recent memory, at least — have sunk their teeth into the city quite the way that Forget Me Not Cafe's Banana Bread Matcha Latte has.A recent explosion across the TikTok and Instagram feeds of many (if not all) Toronto residents has left many yearning to try the creamy, pastel-coloured concoction.Pairing ceremonial-grade matcha with housemade sweet cream, a hefty dose of banana flavouring and a single banana chip for garnish, the flavours of the drink are designed to complement one another in perfect synchronicity.    View this post on Instagram        &nb...

3 d. ago $5 million contemporary home has unmatched views of the Toronto skyline

While many of us would count ourselves lucky to be able to buy a house of any kind in Toronto these days, if an urban oasis is what you're after, look no further than this $5 million contemporary gem.Located due south of the bustling Yonge and St. Clair intersection, 37 Woodlawn Avenue West rests on a more secluded residential street lined with older, classic homes, making this dashing dwelling truly stand out.An enviable score in Summerhill, the home boasts Toronto skyline views that are virtually impossible to come by in the city, let alone in an equally sought-after neighbourhood.The home, which stands at just over 3,600 sq. ft. spread across three floors and a walk-out basement (which is mostly above-grade), is also home to its very own private Cambridge elevator that accesses all four levels.For an extra dose of the neighbourhood's lengthy history, the property backs onto the historic Woodlawn House, built in 1840, which is the second-oldest home in Toronto.Upon entering the ho...

The Toronto Raptors gave their fans one final bit of history at Scotiabank Arena to close out their final home game of the year.While much of their fanbase is more focused on their draft lottery odds than the actual on-court product, one Raptors rookie ended up doing something rarely seen in team history on Wednesday night.Raptors rookie forward Jonathan Mogbo achieved his first career triple-double on Wednesday night in the 126-96 victory over the Charlotte Hornets, picking up 17 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds."It was a lot of stuff going on, but it was great to see everybody happy," he said.Not only was Mogbo's triple-double the first by any rookie in the NBA this season, but it was also the first in Raptors history by a first-year player since Damon Stoudamire pulled it off in the franchise's 11th-ever game back on November 21, 1995.RJ Barrett leads the Raptors with two triple-doubles this year, while Scottie Barnes has one.
