Patio season? Never heard of her! This summer in Toronto, it’s all about sipping drinks and eating delicious food right on the deck of a gorgeous cruise ship.I have to admit, I never really considered myself to be a cruise person.

12 h. ago Jesse Eisenberg leaves staff at a Toronto restaurant totally starstruck

The staff at one Toronto restaurant were shocked this week when they got a surprise visit from Oscar-nominated actor Jesse Eisenberg.Though the actor is well-known for his Oscar-nominated performance in 2010's The Social Network, as well as more recent successes like A Real Pain (2024), for which he received an Oscar nomination for best screenplay, it appears as though Eisenberg isn't afraid to hit the streets of whatever city he's in and explore the local food scene.At least, that appears to be the case for him when he's in Toronto, as the actor recently made a surprise visit to West Queen West's Curryish Tavern, leaving the restaurant's owner and staff starstruck.Widely recognized as being among the best Indian restaurants in the city, it might come as no surprise that the stars would opt to spend their hard-earned days off there — but for owner Miheer Shete, it most certainly did.Miheer tells us that, prior to Eisenberg's appearance at the restau...
