Watching Toronto Marlies Games
The Toronto Marlies are the American Hockey League affiliates of the Toronto Maple Leafs. You can watch Marlies home games at Coca-Cola Coliseum, and every once in a while (Boxing Day and Family Day for example) they play at the Scotiabank Arena. It’s a great way to see some pretty amazing hockey for a fraction […]

The Real Kim’s Convenience Store Location in Toronto
Now that the building that houses the iconic Kim’s Convenience store is up for sale, I wanted to snap some pics of the beloved shop where the TV series was filmed (the exterior scenes; the interior scenes were shot in a studio.) Located on Queen St. E. in the Moss Park neighbourhood of Toronto, the […]

Happy Place at Harbourfront Centre
Happy Place has arrived and it’s just what we needed on a grey and drizzly November morning. This bright and beautiful art exhibit is my favourite type… you can touch everything as much as you like. The massive installations from seven-foot stilettos to the world’s largest indoor confetti dome is room after room of colour […]

Manolo Blahnik Exhibit: The Art of Shoes at the Bata Shoe Museum
One of my fave Carrie moments on Sex and the City is her delight when she finds what she thought was an “urban shoe legend” -the Manolo Mary Janes- in the fashion cupboard at Vogue. Carrie’s love of Manolos and the spectacular styling on that show made me fall in love with the artistry that […]

The Art of Banksy Exhibition in Toronto
There is still time to see this terrific exhibit which was even better than I was expecting. The Art of Banksy had it’s North American premiere here in Toronto and was extended a couple of times this summer because it was incredibly popular. I loved it. It wraps up September 16th and then off to […]

Ripley’s Aquarium in Downtown Toronto

We’ve been several times now and have seen babies in strollers and teenagers on Saturday night dates. Even The Weeknd and Selena Gomez while they were still together enjoyed a date night at Ripley’s. This is because […]

Look up at the northeast corner of Yonge-Dundas Square in Toronto and you’ll see the restored legendary Sam The Record Man sign, just around the corner (and way up high) from it’s original location. Sam the Record Man opened in 1959 and for almost half a century was a beloved music mecca in Toronto. The […]

Sesame Street Presents: The Body at the Ontario Science Centre
This interactive exhibition all about the human body is so much fun for little ones. The whole Science Centre is great, but this exhibit particularly is geared to toddlers. From noses to toes to what happens after you eat food (yup, the whole process) everything is hands-on and there is lots of space to let […]

St. Lawrence Market in Toronto
This morning we wanted to buy some fresh salmon, so we headed to where Torontonians have been discovering the best food in the city since 1803- the St. Lawrence Market. St. Lawrence Market is a perfect shopping destination if you have absolutely no idea what to make for dinner and need inspiration. National Geographic named […]
