9 d. ago Legendary Caribbean restaurant in Toronto suddenly shuts down

A location of the city's most famous Caribbean restaurants has suddenly closed, while the future of another hangs in the balance.Toronto is, rightfully, crazy about our Caribbean cuisine. So much so that no small number of institutions serving island eats have risen to legendary status in the city.Few come close, however, to the level of iconicity enjoyed by Leslieville's The Real Jerk for the better part of the past four decades.Sure, it likely has its celebrity fans to thank for a large part of its notability, but, at the same time, its jerk chicken is some of the best in the city. Both things can be true.Open since 1984, the restaurant has had its fair share of expansion efforts and moves over the years. In 2012, it moved from its Riverside home at the corner of Queen and Broadview (now Duke's Refresher) to its current flagship in Leslieville at Gerrard and Carlaw.A few years later, a somewhat short-lived location in the Upper Beaches landed o...

2 w. ago The tragic history of how Toronto demolished one of its most beautiful buildings

It's been decades since Toronto lost one of its best examples of Streamline Moderne architecture — the William H. Wright Building — and most of the people who frequent the bustling Financial District in the modern era remain blissfully unaware of the area's impressive but ultimately lost architectural history. The long-gone six-storey office building on the corner of York and King Streets was designed by the firm Mathers and Haldenby and built between 1937 and 1938.The site of the structure was previously home to a list of local establishments, including the Imperial Hotel, a tailor, a restaurant, a hardware shop, and a barber shop. The site of the future William H.

Is it time for the city to say goodbye?If you've gone out on King West any time within the past three years, there’s a good chance that you ended up at (or in line to enter) Pizza Wine Disco.Over its short, three-year tenure, the Italian restaurant that transforms into a lively bar after dark has become a staple on the scene, packed to the rafters weekend after weekend with pizza-fuelled party people.Sure, its clientele seems a little more eager to lean into the "disco" aspect of its offerings, but Pizza Wine Disco also operates as a full-service restaurant with an enthusiastic fan base in its own right.Being the juggernaut of the Toronto nightlife scene, it is, not to mention one backed by Liberty Entertainment Group (LEG), the hospitality group behind the likes of DaNico, Don Alfonso 1890 and Paris Texas, it came as a shock wh...
