So, I spend last weekend in the Big Smoke. Highlights included a tour of the Distillery District where I purchased an overly sweet Cafe Canadien. Anything containing maple syrup sucks me in it seems.
Then we saw some great, and I mean great, theatre - the Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood, starring Meagan Follows. Here's the link to more information about this stunning production:

All this was preceded by lunch at a little hipster diner on Dupont called Rose and Sons, which got a pretty rave review in the Globe and Mail on Saturday. We only saw the breakfast/lunch menu so I can't comment on the bigger picture food. I had bagel and lox, just the way I like it, (very seedy bagel and very fresh lox). My niece had a fried egg smothered in Hollandaise sauce on top of some really delicious turkey hash that was highly- flavoured with shmaltz. I had the best Bloody Caesar I've had in a long time, although Mr. Hipster-dude Waiter took an awfully long time to get it to me. Great fun though.
