Torontoist is one of fourteen cities in the worldwide Gothamist network. Once a week, the editors of each site—from LAist to Londonist—compile some of their most interesting posts into a brief blurb. It's Elsewhere In The Ist-A-Verse, and it appears, across the network, every Sunday. Austinist attended a town hall meeting about proposed noise ordinances that could undermine the city's future as the Live Music Capital of the World, and lamented the possible loss of......

God bless our sister site LAist for discovering The Canadian Cafe (no, there's no acute accent), a small restaurant 4,000 kilometres away, in Montrovia, L.A., where (their website claims beside a clip art picture of a moose dressed as a mountie) "You'll Find Family Dining With A Taste Of The North." What, exactly, is Canadian cuisine, beyond poutine and Canadian bacon? Well, they have a "selection of Maple Syrup products" (!!!!), a "British Columbia Burger"......

March is moving out like a lamb and Toronto is up for a double shot of groovy spring feelings this week with the re-mounting of Hair, the Tribal Love Rock musical and the return of strawberries. It's the time of the season for these plump, glossy red berries to be making their appearance at fruit stands all over the city. Pair them with a creamy honeyed yogurt cheese straight from the Age of Aquarius and......

At right: Aussie hands can't keep off Canadian tarts. We're lucky enough to be on hiatus in Australia this month, but that doesn't mean we aren't working as hard as ever to better our country's image around the globe. Our most successful attempt to do so undoubtedly occurred this weekend, when we baked a batch of our favourite Canadian treat for our lovely Australian hosts. They were even more appreciated than the gold medal garnered......

If the GTA supply of challa bread is completely depleted by the weekend, you can blame this website: Today we unveil our famous challa french toast recipe! When discussing matters of flavour, it can and must be argued that challa bread was made for French toast. This is fact. Non-negotiable. It should be noted, though, challa french toast does not always fly when observing religious holidays: [Challa] is often referred to as 'egg bread' since......

Weekday brunch is the new weekend brunch and this is the new that. On a gray and wet Friday morning, Torontoist ambled towards the heart of Toronto’s Little Portugal district for brunch at Saving Grace. SG regulars have been enjoying lunch and brunch here for years, including local talents Sarah Polley, Sloan’s Chris Murphy and Sook-Yin Lee, to name a few who have all been spotted gracing this cozy spot. Saving Grace’s daily specials include......

Restaurants: Xacutti, Brunch...

Restaurants: No toes found at the Black Camel!...

There’s no need to turn up the volume at Kubo Radio because they are cranking out the Asian fusion eats, treats, rock, soul and kung fu all at once. In fact it’s a bit hard to even keep up.  Our very cute waiter sports a tee that says “Dim Sum Fooey” and in between taking orders and serving a full house, he still manages to find the time to dance with his co-worker in the......
