It’s party season, which means a whole lot of looking sharp. And since Toronto is the nation’s fashion capital (okay, it’s at least in competition with Euro-influenced Montreal) there are not only high expectations for style but don’t worry, the city provides a wealth of...

It may sound crazy but I’m not a big dessert eater. It’s not that I don’t like sweets, but usually when I’m out for dinner I eat enough that I’m too full for cake. Going out for the sole purpose of eating cake and ice cream and skipping dinner all together is a nice alternative...
