3 h. ago Customers furious over food prices at the newest Eataly in Toronto

Italian mega market Eataly officially opened the doors of its fourth Toronto location on Nov. 25 at the Eaton Centre, and the reviews are in.The much-anticipated marketplace in the mall features two dine-in restaurants — La Pizza & La Pasta and La Piazza — a grocery section for fresh foods, grab-and-go take-out counters, and a wine shop, Vino e Birra To-Go. It spans 25,000 square feet across two floors.So, what's the verdict?It seems a large number of Toronto residents are complaining about an overpriced experience at a time when many have succumbed to the effects of growing inflation in the city.A recent visitor took to Reddit to mention that "The takeout fresh pasta looked amazing until I realized the small box of raviolis was $25 or so."Another patron commented on an Instagram reel sharing similar sentiments. "No thanks. Overpriced food. You walk away feeling hungry."These comments align with another Instagrammer's concerns ab...

3 h. ago Toronto's first pet funeral home offers unique way to say goodbye

On top of the agonizing, can't-eat, can't-sleep grief that comes with losing a beloved pet, trying to navigate the next steps only deepens the sorrow. A newly opened pet funeral home, the first in Toronto, hopes to guide owners through their final goodbyes.At 115 Berkley St. in Moss Park is where you can find Tails Farewell's newest location – second to the one they first opened in Markham back in September 2024. Co-owner Jason Lau tells blogTO that the Markham space only has one memorial room, which limits the number of families they can serve. Now, with their new downtown location, they have more rooms to accommodate more people planning pet funerals.So far, Lau says, Tails Farewell has supported more than 500 pet families, including a virtual memorial for a 2-year-old python and a funeral for an 80-year-old woman's bunny, who we're certain lived a hoppy life. "Our goal is to create a warm and peaceful environment so families, esp...

4 h. ago Dodgers star gets booed out of Toronto kids hospital in hilarious new commercial

Toronto Blue Jays fans don't appear to have forgiven the Los Angeles Dodgers just yet – even if it's for a good cause.The Dodgers, as you surely know by now, broke just about all of Canada's collective hearts last month when they topped the Blue Jays in an epic seven-game World Series.And one of the heroes for the Dodgers in that series was Freddie Freeman, hitting a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 18th inning of a long Game 3.Given that Freeman represents Canada internationally in baseball due to his Canadian parents' roots, he'd usually be a natural pick for many Canadian commercials.But in a recent holiday spot for SickKids hospital (alongside none other than Ryan Reynolds), Freeman didn't exactly get the warmest of receptions.Rub some dirt on it @FreddieFreeman5! And thank you for being such a good sport supporting @sickkids. Everyone who can, please donate before December 24th and all donations will be matched up to $1,000,000. pic.twitter.c...
