Sarah Lazarovic––curator of the garage-based Montrose Portrait Gallery of Canada––is painting a portrait of a Torontonian (be they grannies or gardeners or Gord Perks) every day for one hundred days. Each Monday, we'll feature one of those portraits here.

A lovely photo of our winner.

It will be an eventful weekend at Dufferin Grove Park where you'll be able to promote peace, purge the old clothes, and binge on burgers! A Festival of Non-Violence will be held on Saturday from 1 until 6 in the afternoon. The day of non-violence is being celebrated worldwide to reject all forms of violent behaviour. The gathering is run by Toronto’s Humanist Movement and the event will feature music, speakers, poets, info tables, activities for children, eats, treats, and coffee.

Restaurants: Hero Comes to Save the Day

On with the Ist List of Toronto's Best Cones!

As you can see by the header, we're setting up a little cross-border compare and contrast, red meat style. The Hardee's campaign reminds us of similarly named, similarly burgered, similarly big, Harvey's. In 2003 they went bigtime with their quest to capture big boys and their big appetites.And they appear to have done a pretty good job of it. 'Long Live the Grill' is still going strong, and, despite the grilled sandwich trend, and the complete lack of even a pretense of effort to court the lady who lunches on Alberta beef, most people really can't complain about Harvey's ads. They're simple, well-designed, and kinda retro chic. Meanwhile, Hardee's, a company with a similar product to hype, and a similarly-identified target demographic, has decided to force beautiful models to shove their hands in their mouths. TOist won't pronounce judgement until the results are in, but we think we our homegrown burger banners are winning thus far.

Lucky for us, Torontoist has had only good times at the trendy late night spot on Queen West. Open till 4am on weekends, it's a great place to stop in for a reliable meal or decent drink any time.
