Rogers PicnicWith less than three days before the start of Sunday's Rogers Picnic at Fort York we've found ourselves with a pair of tickets to give away. And in the spirit of time-based, rapid fire contests we're going to award them to the first person to place a comment below at or after 5pm Toronto time.

Multi Brings a bit of Tokyo to Kensington

Multi TorontoMulti is the kind of store I'd expect to find in Seoul or Tokyo. Opened a few months ago on Augusta in Kensington Market, this well stocked boutique carries hand-picked clothes, accessories and magazines from the owners' trips to Korea and Japan; and features rotating art exhibits from local and international artists.

This Saturday the store is throwing a dance party (9pm-late) with live art, haircuts and dirt cheap drinks. Check it out then but don't forget to read my profile of Multi in the fashion section.

Unwrapping the Mini Roti at Shai's Cafe

Shai's CafeNever one to meet a roti I didn't like, I recently ventured into Kensington Market's Shai's Cafe to sample what one person had described to me as a roti worth trying.

Find out whether it lived up to the hype in my review of Shai's Cafe in the cafe section.

Little Tokyo Enters the Deadpool

Little TokyoThe revitalization of the stretch of Augusta south of Baldwin won't include Little Tokyo. I noticed the For Rent sign this week as I passed by the now vacated Japanese grocery store and culture shop in Kensington Market.

Little Tokyo was always a bit of a mystery to me. I liked that they used to offer me free green tea as I cruised around the store, but I always found their selection and prices much inferior to Sanko on Queen Street.

Patio Pubbing at Loons

Toronto RestaurantsIn the mood for a patio and some pub grub on Roncesvalles, two friends and I head to Loons, a Canadian-themed sports bar just up the street from the Revue. On the agenda - some microbrews, fish and chips, a deli sandwich and bangers, beans and mash.
