Saturday was a beautiful day for the Vegetarian Food Festival put on by the Toronto Vegetarian Association in Harbourfront Center. It remained bright and sunny until really late in the day. I got there early, right before it really got crowded, and snacked on a bunch of things (perhaps too...

Last Sunday I went with four international couchsurfers for my first real visit to Niagara Falls. The only other time I saw them was on a night run to NYC in passing. I was happy to go with other newcommers because I got the impression from talking with other Torontonians...

Well, the last few days haven’t been devoid of activity, I’ve just been entirely too tired to post about them. That and not much food was involved, beyond my new favourite: Poutini’s (Late night dubstep and vegan poutine! Can’t go wrong there) I made a long awaited visit to the...

Well, it was another beautiful day in Toronto, and the perfect day to go to the beach. So a friend and I took the ferry over to Hanlan’s Point, which is this great little area where you can surround yourself with greenery. Unusual signs like the following appear: It was...

Well, it’s never a dull day here, summertime means festivals, and festivals mean I’ll be there if I can. Unfortunately, there are so many, that I can’t go to all of them. I actually missed seeing something that I would have been really interested in (Zinedream!), because I didn’t know...

Last time I was in Toronto I didn’t go up to the CN Tower, and I felt I was missing out on an important (/tounge-in-cheek) tourist experience. So I finally went up and it was awesome. I love heights, and the views were incredible. I’m glad I finally went up....

I finally did what I came to Toronto for a couple of days ago and that evening a friend and I went to Fressen (478 Queen Street West,) a fine dining kind of vegan restaurant. It was rated one of the hippest vegetarian eateries in North America by VegNews and...

This morning we went over to Sadie’s Diner (504 Adelaide Street W, Toronto) for Brunch. Everyone seems to love the place, but both times I’ve been there, I haven’t been very excited about it. Either way, it was great to hang out with old friends and new friends. I had the...

Well I got in to Toronto yesterday morning (5:30 am!) and one of my friends insisted that I stay with him and his wife (it wasn’t hard to convince me). It is so much nicer than sitting at a hostel. Usually I love hostels, but I think the morning would...
