Lula Lounge: Muy Caliente!


Front of Lula Lounge

I've been to Cuba a couple of times (and off to Varadero in 3 weeks!) and I've always said to myself after coming back that I would love Toronto to have a lounge that played Cuban music. Well, I didn't have to look too far. On the corner of Dufferin and Dundas is Lula Lounge.

Last night, Lula held a ...

Bay Street Video, Home of Toronto's Largest DVD Collection



This movie-lovers Mecca is tucked away behind a glasses store and a Tim Horton's near the corner of Bay and Bloor streets. Well-known to the many students and locals who live in the area, it's not typically a place on the Toronto tourists got-to-go list, but should be there if you're on the lookout for any movie that is foreign, rare, or difficult to find. The rental collection ...

Soul Pepper


55 mill Street is my favorite part of Toronto. It has been restored in the past 5 years to resemble what it may have been 100 years ago. No cars and lots of nice little bars. Art galleries and the Younge Center for the arts. A perfect place to spend the afternoon with the family. Walk the streets and look at the architecture. Dip ...
