When I was at the community meeting a few weeks ago talking about Joe Pantalone’s sudden and un-explained moratorium on new restaurants on Ossington, someone in the meeting asked why you could find lots of restaurants on the street, but you couldn’t buy a damn tomato on the strip. […]
You can walk down Ossington on any given day and not notice the large amount of graffiti, or, as it’s called “street art”. Yesterday on a little neighbourhood walkabout I took a few pictures of the interesting art along the lower section of Ossington. Were there any good ones I missed? […]
If you were feeling artsy this weekend in Toronto there was lots to do. We had Afrofest, the Fringe, and many other events. If you were into visual arts you’d probably want to hit up the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition. […]
We know this neighbourhood is fantastic! We love all the new restaurants going in. So we should let the world know. The folks at ZooCasa, Canada’s best search portal for Real Estate, are having a contest, and you can win ZipCar prizes, as well as iTunes certificates! Isn’t that great. […]
Last week i wrote a post about the blocking of the opening of Ici Bistro, based on a Toronto Star article which discussed how Joe Pantalone was actively blocking the opening of a restaurant by one of the top chefs in the city, J. P. Challet. […]
There are a few places on Ossingon I haven’t been yet. And the Lower Ossington Theatre, until tonight, was one of them. It always looks tempting, but, from the street, it looks like s small, cramped space. With the Fringe on, we ventured into to see Red Machine, Part 1, one of the Fringe Festival plays. […]
Joe Pantalone’s reach to shut down and curb entrepreneurship extends farther than Ossington. I learned this morning that he’s also put a stop to another entrepreneur, Jennifer Decourte, who is attempting to open ICI bistro at Harbord and Bathurst area. His excuse: “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, my grandmother used to say,” is the reason for blocking a liquor license application. […]
Having heard it was open I needed to check out the new, long awaited, spot on Ossington – Union Restaurant. I sauntered down on this rainy Tuesday before Canada day to check it out. With the paper not even off the windows and a fresh sheen on still on the furniture, the staff were greeting people and offering wine and cheese, and some items off the menu presented as appetizers. […]
Metro Magazine has a piece today the burgening theatre scene based out of the Lower Ossington Theatre, just in time for the Fringe Festival, going on this week. The venue got the space in the Ossington strip early and have become one of the key centres of the city for theatre. […]
The long anticipated Union Restaurant has now opened along Ossington. After Toronto Life gave him a blog to document his process, he only gave them about 6-7 cryptic posts about the progress of the place. Today I learned from Melissa Davis of YDF in her post documenting her visit last night to the new restaurant. […]
