Hemingway’s Restaurant is Yorkville’s silent killer… its rooftop patio, excellent appetizers and reasonably priced drinks will deter you from any productivity you had planned. Did I [...]

Toronto’s Bloor West Village houses amazing cafés, attractive boutiques, and delicious restaurants that uphold an urban energy.
It’s easy to plan a full-day excursion in this area including a post-dinner walk; the area is also home [...]
