Kardinal Offishall hosted his 16th annual Christmas party on December 18th at Cube night club, this time a bit more intimate compared to the year prior.

For a refreshed grocery shopping experience, Michael-Angelo’s in Markham is having their grand re-opening this weekend. With a lineup of customers outside waiting for the doors to open, I was there to check out the festivities on Friday, December 19th.

Jason Priestley

In honour of the Canada’s Walk of Fame airing on Global TV tonight at 8pm, here are photos from the yellow carpet including Ryan Reynolds and Rachel McAdams. While he was there and he made some banter with Jason Priestley on stage at the Sony Centre, I don’t think Jian Ghomeshi is making it into the broadcast…

Set in the heart of Toronto’s entertainment district at Mercer St, Buonanotte is an Italian dining destination that combines a lively nightlife experience with great Italian dishes, perfect for sharing. I was among a few in an intimate setting who tried the new menu items at Buonanotte by Executive Chef Davide Ianacci and enjoyed some cocktails and fine wine.

Now open on popular Ossington Avenue is the highly anticipated Borealia Restaurant. It’s a warm, intimate setting which takes a unique approach in both the decor and the menu with inspiration from a time when immigrant groups arrived in Canada in the 18th and 19th centuries. It’s thoughtfully-Canadian cuisine like you’ve never tried before.
