7 h. ago Toronto sandwich shop shuts down in favour of entirely new concept

A Toronto sandwich shop that was especially admired for its almost-too-good-to-be-true falafel has shut down permanently, but something new is already brewing.As something of a sandwich connoisseur around Toronto, I like to think I know a good shop when I see it, and the city certainly has no shortage of good ones.Lambo's, Vilda's, La Salumeria; I've tried 'em all, and I've loved them all, but sometimes a true favourite arises, not from the hype that the rest of the Toronto sandwich community is giving it, but simply from how damn good it is.That favourite, for me, was Fattoush Sandwich Club.First opened in 2021, the Cabbagetown sandwich shop served up Levantine delicacies, frequently all tucked into a pita, but sometimes on a bun or English muffin, including grilled halloumi, chicken shawarma and the best falafel in Toronto, according to Toronto.From crisp pickled turnips to creamy, herby dressings, every bite of a Fattoush Sandwich Club sandwich was, in my opinion, sheer, perfect ...

The highly anticipated St. Lawrence Market North Building officially opened its doors for its first farmers' market on Saturday, and here's a look inside the futuristic, $128 million redevelopment. Mayor Olivia Chow and Councillor Chris Moise joined crowds of morning shoppers who were invited to explore the building's ground-floor, open-concept Market Hall for the very first time. The multi-use, five-storey building was designed by RSHP, and features a glass and orange metal exterior, a skylit atrium, blue-painted steel walkways, and orange pedestrian bridges. The brand new building — which has been under construction since 2016 — brought back the 200-year-old market indoors for the first time in nearly a decade. While it was revitalized, the Saturday market continued to operate from a tent behind the St. Lawrence Market Complex's brick south building on The Esplanade. @blogto After 25 years, St. Lawrence Market’s farmer...
