All summer long, Toronto has been jam-packed with countless cultural festivities, and as the last weekend of the summer begins to dawn on us—with students gearing up for school and vacations coming to an unfortunate end—why not end the summer with some Ukrainian style? This year, what was formerly known as the Bloor West Village Ukrainian Festival is being renamed the Toronto Ukrainian Festival and will take place at Harbourfront Centre. From August 31......

For those of us who grew up watching Buffalo television, the city seems like a nearby suburb or one of those neighbourhoods that you heard about but never visited. The phrase “Three alarm fire in Tonawanda” was as familiar as Bad Boy’s “Noooo-body.” Yet, cross border shopping aside, it's surprising how few Torontonians have really been to Buffalo. We went last week and we recommend the day trip. Here's a short list of things......

In Craig Silverman’s most recent Globe Life blog entry, entitled "How to lose friends and make people hate you," (cute, but sounds familiar, doesn’t it?) he discusses a Harvard Business Review study about likeability in the workplace. According to the study, people won't want to work with you if you act smug, sarcastic, or bored or if you obsess over your own workload. Eh, this is boring. And we have ten million other important things......

It's the last long weekend of the summer, and if you're anything like me, you're dreaming of getting out from under the sonic booms intruding into your solitude (such is living next to the CNE and it's traditional Labour Day Weekend air show). I lived in the Niagara Region for a few years, and though it lacks the hustle and bustle (and sonic booms) of the big city, there was never a lack of things......

Now, Torontoist has absolutely no intention of getting into the whole Sienna-Miller-playing Edie Sedgwick debacle, because well, we have more important things to do with our time then to babble about celebrity fodder. Yet, Edie was a pretty fascinating mix of American socialite, debutante, heiress and lest we forget, Andy Warhol's muse. Their relationship did not last through an entire calendar year, yet Edie's inspiration on pop culture has lasted longer than anyone would've......

MTV has been live in Canada for just over 24 hours and Torontoist’s immediate response is yawn. Obviously, it is still very new and we should allow them time to work out the kinks, like replacing their version of “hip” Vjs for one (a few of 'em pictured here). Torontoist will honestly say that based on the quality of their marketing across the city and on television there is potential for good things but do......

-We love a good bitch-session about The Da Vinci Code. -Hurting for things to do with all the ground meat that's crowding up your freezer? Not anymore, you're not. Personally, we're a little terrified of whatever that blob is on top of the asparagus, but those waffle fries are looking pretty good right now... (via Slashfood) -We feel bad about that pirate link from yesterday falling through, so here's a guy who really wants to......

There's a breeze in the air, and a million things to do before winter wraps its claws around you. Get out there! - Shock and awk at the El Mo tonight, as unfunnyfunnyman Neil Hamburger takes the stage. 9pm and ten bucks. - South African hip hop phenom Tumi and the Volume make a double stop in Toronto. They poetry slam tonight, and play Harbourfront's Culture Shock fest for free on the morrow. They say:......

All sorts of things to do this weekend, and so many questions to be answered. For example... What is Scenography? Find out tonight at YYZ's opening of Speaking Scenography: Scenoart, a body of such works by Sue Gallagher, Andrew King and Angela Silver. More on scenoart. What is Riverdale? Head east of the DVP and you will find an oasis of fine coffee shops and moms with fancy strollers. But Riverdale also has art aplenty......

On our endless quest for cool places to go and different things to do, Torontoist can't seem to stray far from the inarguably cool 'hood of Queen Street West. Tequila Bookworm exists relatively unmarked just west of Augusta on Queen, and relies on its cool crowd and loyal regulars to draw passersby inside. Without a huge billboard-style sign out front or a dizzying chalkboard menu above the bar like the impersonal coffee franchises nearby, the......
