Toronto’s pedestrian-only Distillery District is one of the most recognizable destinations in the city. Hollywood Blockbusters and Oscar-winning films like Chicago and X-Men have used the district as part of their set. And it’s no surprise why: the cobblestone streets, Victorian Industrial buildings and bustling culture make the neighbourhood worthy of any big screen.

Once the home of a large whiskey distillery, the district now offers over 40 businesses ranging from small shops to bakeries and art galleries. But an afternoon spent wandering the streets of this entertainment neighbourhood wouldn’t be complete without a stop at one of the many delicious restaurants in the area. Check out these top spots to grab a bite when you find yourself in the Distillery District.

Cluny Bistro and Boulangerie

All the cute simplicity of a European diner can be found at Cluny Bistro and Boulangerie. With a lively bistro, quaint café and cozy patio, Cluny encompasses everything you’d expect to find in France. Though simple, the yellowfin tuna ceviche is a highlight on the seafood menu, and it looks fantastic too, with a lemon, basil, and chili, bergamont lemon marmalade. Following the French Onion Soup, and paired with one of Cluny’s over 200 bottles of wine, this dish is a seafood lover’s dream.

Madrina Bar and Tapas

From executive chef Ramon Simarro, Madrina brings authentic ingredients from Spain to Toronto. A minimalist interior is illuminated by low-hanging fixtures and light wood finishings. Madrina‘s features small and large tapas that pair perfectly with the cocktail menu of over 70 gins and imported wines, but one of the most talked about dishes is the steak tartar. This dish is topped with a Manchego cheese foam and deep soy pearls that offer a burst of flavour on the first bite. Not only pleasing on the tastebuds but on the eyes, this tartar comes served on top a roasted marrow bone, providing a mouth-watering photo-op.

Boku

Right near the iconic peace sign that stands tall at the heart of the Distillery District, you’ll find a stylish sushi restaurant serving up Japanese eats. On the signatures menu, guests will find the popular Katsu Curry Udon. This slightly spicy dish with fried katsu, Japanese curry, vegetables and soft noodles will keep you warm as you sit on Boku’s cobblestone patio. Also on the specials menu, pulled duck, sour cream and yakitori sauce gives a Japanese twist to a classic Canadian poutine.

El Catrin

Did you know you can find the country’s largest mezcal and tequila collection in the Distillery District? You can gaze at all of them from the bar at El Catrin. Though Mexican food is most recognizable as tacos and quesadillas, the Sunday Brunch is one thing you really don’t want to miss at this hotspot. The Huevos Rancheros is a saucy and hearty plateful of breakfast, including three eggs, salsa roja, tortillas, black bean puree, guacamole, and cotija. We won’t blame you if you want to pair your brunch with a margherita featuring one of El Catrin’s many tequilas.

Balzac’s

There’s a plethora of cafes in Toronto that serve up Balzac’s Coffee Roasters, but few offer what the space at the Distillery District café does—views of the bustling district from a transformed 1895 Pump House. Brick walls, a wooden staircase, a custom-made bar, and a grand chandelier complement the large Paris-inspired space, accentuating the historic and Victorian architecture of the building. Though located in such a historic building, Balzac’s represents the District’s reputation of combining history with modernity by supporting green practices. Balzac’s directly supports and donates to Toronto-based charities that engage in environmental and bird conservations. Stopping at Balzac’s for a coffee and a delicious pastry (or two) including decadent croissants, muffins and cookies while on a walk through the District, isn’t just good for you—it’s good for the planet!

Mill Street Brew Pub

A trip to the Distillery District would not be complete without downing a pint at the Mill Street Brew Pub. Distillery District isn’t the only thing bustling with history, so does the beer. Mill Street’s original organic lager was the first organic lager to be brewed here in Ontario, and now there’s a lot more on the menu. And, while of course you could never go wrong with a classic lager or pilsner, Mill Street’s drink menu is stocked full of award-winning originals, like the Cobblestone Organic Stout, an Irish-style stout, and the tropically fruity Hazy IPA. The bar also has a robust food menu with pub classics like fish & chips, burgers and pizza reigning supreme.

Royal York Property Management is a well-established property management firm that has been catering to the needs of landlords and property owners for over 15 years. Over the years, they have handled numerous cases and provided invaluable assistance to thousands of landlords.

As we enter 2023, Royal York Property Management understands the unique challenges that landlords are facing, and the critical importance of addressing them to ensure a stable and sustainable rental market. Their property management services are designed to help landlords navigate these challenges and maintain a profitable rental property.

The ongoing recession in Canada has made it challenging for tenants to keep up with their rent payments, putting landlords in a difficult position. When dealing with non-paying tenants, landlords are required to follow strict legal procedures, which can be both time-consuming and costly. This can exacerbate the financial difficulties faced by landlords, who are already grappling with rising property taxes and maintenance costs. Any reduction in this revenue can have severe consequences, including the possibility of having to sell their property or stop renting it out altogether.

Royal York Property Management understands the importance of maintaining happy tenants to ensure the steady flow of rental income. They help increase the value of your property by ensuring it is well maintained, and tenants are happy and satisfied. “Renting in this competitive rental market can be tough, but with Royal York, we help landlords value their property so that they don’t experience a loss of income,” says Nathan Levinsons, CEO & President of Royal York Property Management.

Moreover, Royal York Property Management offers rental guarantee to landlords to provide additional peace of mind in case a tenant fails to pay rent. Their team of property management experts has years of experience and knowledge of the Canadian rental industry, ensuring that your property is in good hands.

In conclusion, hiring a property management firm can provide landlords with peace of mind, expertise, and increased income for the property they are renting. However, with Royal York’s help and expertise in the Canadian rental industry, landlords can rest assured that their property is well-maintained and generating a steady flow of rental income.

The Weeknd has officially set the world record for being the most popular artist

The numbers are in, and it’s official: the Guinness World Records have just named The Weeknd the most popular artist in the world.

If you’re wondering how the organization came to that conclusion, it’s all about the data — Spotify data, that is. They analyzed Spotify data for some of the biggest artists in the industry, looking at numbers that include the number of monthly listeners on the platform. The Toronto artist also known as Abel Tesfaye racked up 111.4 million Spotify listeners monthly as of March 20, almost 30 million more listeners than second-place artist Miley Cyrus, with 82.4 million.

He’s also well surpassed Shakira at 81.6 million listeners, his “Die For You” pal Ariana Grande’s 80.6 million, Taylor Swift’s 80.2 million and Rihanna’s 78.5 million. The only male artist that has come close to his tally is Ed Sheeran, with 77.5 million monthly listeners.

Guinness World Records also announced he set the record of being the first artist to reach 100 million monthly listeners on Spotify in February, though he’s obviously more than broken his own record since then (perhaps Guinness should edit that honour to be the first artist to reach 110 million monthly listeners?).

If you’re an Apple Music listener and are feeling skeptical, The Weeknd has the accolades to prove it: he won four awards, including artist of the year and pop album of the year, at the Juno Awards this past month, bringing his tally to 21. He also broke the record for the most consecutive weeks in the Top 10 of Billboard’s Hot 100 by a solo male artist, and recently the original “Die For You” topped the charts six years after its release, marking the longest climb to number one on the Hot 100 for a non-holiday song in history.

Whether he’s your favourite artist or not, we’re feeling pretty proud that a musician from Toronto has earned this major honour!

Five spots in Toronto perfect for a springtime stroll

Key Gardiner Trail for a spring walk — @katangus/Instagram

Day tripping to a scenic spot outside of the city is a great way to enjoy nature, but you don’t have to get in your car to find the perfect outdoor location this spring. Toronto is filled with incredible scenic points that make for even better photos, and most can be explored during your lunch break. The city has everything from old cobblestone streets to long wooded trails making staying inside the least appealing option, especially now that the warmer spring weather is upon us.

The Beltline Trail

The Kay Gardner Beltline trail is a nine-kilometre trail that loops through the Moore Park, Forest Hill, Chaplin Estates, Rosedale, and Fairbank neighbourhoods. The trail was once home to a railway in the 1800s and provides plenty of trees and shade. This trail is also an excellent path to take if you’re new to running as the terrain is straight with just a few nice curves and just a bit rocky.

Toronto Music Garden

A stroll through the music garden is an excellent way to activate your imagination. Bach’s First Suite inspired each section of the park for Unaccompanied Cello, and you can also envision the rocks dancing to each section — famed cellist Yo-Yo Ma even had an influence on how this park was built. Bring your headphones and listen to the Bach classic while you stroll, or unplug and enjoy the wonder that is a secret garden in the middle of the city. You’ll find the Toronto Music Garden at 479 Queens Quay W.

Ontario Place Trillium Park

You probably know about this scenic area already, but it’s worth visiting Ontario Place more than once or twice. Now that the weather is nicer and the ice and snow are melting as spring is officially here, snapping a few photos by the water has never felt so good. There are over seven acres of green space at Trillium Park and plenty of spots to picnic. Trillium Park is at 955 Lake Shore Blvd. W.

University of Toronto Campus

It may feel a bit strange to hang out on a university campus if you aren’t a student, but many great books have been read, and photos have been snapped under the archways that line this U of T expanse of pristine green. Head to 27 King’s College Circle to explore the campus and act as a student for the afternoon.

Distillery District

Maybe not the slice of nature you were thinking about, but we can’t leave the fantastic photo ops the Distillery District provides off this list. Plus, you can grab lunch at an outdoor patio or stroll with an icy drink while snapping photos against centuries-old buildings and cobblestone streets. If you’ve never been to the Distillery District when it’s not the holiday season, now is the perfect time to explore.

One of Toronto’s best French restaurants just opened a delicious new bakery

“For me, food and cuisine is all about memories. And my best memory is the smell of naan from my grandmother’s kitchen, where I was born and raised,” says Martine Bauer, who along with Maxime Hoerth and Jonathan Bauer —the same trio behind Toronto’s lauded French restaurant Pompette — recently opened Bakery Pompette in Little Italy. “It’s very important to me to share this memory with my kids, so my favourite thing to bake is everything that reminds me of where I come from.”

Bauer hails from Mauritius, then found herself in Paris before settling in Toronto. “Maxime is the best bartender, Jonathan the best sommelier and I myself worked for the Prime Minister of France,” Bauer says. “We all decided to move to Toronto to open our own business: Restaurant Pompette three years ago, Bar Pompette two years ago and now Bakery Pompette.”

Bakery Pompette is the only establishment of the three the group has opened while not dealing with pandemic-related closures and regulations, and each spot is tucked mere steps from each other at the College Street and Bathurst Street intersection. After the instant success of the restaurant and Bar Pompette, the bakery, according to Bauer, felt like a natural progression.

“The restaurant and the bar were successful at the very beginning,” she says. “We did not want to expand nor to do a franchise, but we always wanted to do something else that relates to our background so we decided to open a bakery, close to the restaurant and the bar.”

Inside the bakery, Martine Bauer says visitors can expect freshly-baked sourdough bread and baguettes, alongside savoury danishes such as the tarte flambée, a sort of flatbread originally from Jonathan’s and Maxime’s French hometown. She also notes that seasonal specials will also occasionally make an appearance.

Bakery Pompette is located at 655 College Street and is open from Thursdays to Sundays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

And check out new “late night jam” festival location at the venerable Pilot Tavern, which has a history steeped in some very fine jazz. Here, festival-goers will be able to check out local and visiting artists in a more intimate and informal setting.

How They Met: The secret to Howie Mandel’s 43-year-long marriage with his wife

Toronto’s own Howie Mandel has been making us laugh for decades. Whether you know him from his standup comedy, his self-titled comedy show, his role as a host on Deal or No Deal or as a judge on America’s Got Talent and now Canada’s Got Talent, he’s honed his craft both here and abroad. He performed at Yuk Yuk’s in Toronto before being discovered at the Comedy Store in Los Angeles — and through it all, he’s had his wife, Terry, by his side. The pair started dating in high school and have been together ever since. Ahead of the season two premiere of Canada’s Got Talent on Tuesday, Mandel shares the secret to success of a relationship that has lasted over 40 years (hint: it’s not him!).

How they met

We met in high school. We were in line to buy french fries at the snack shop at the Y, and I didn’t have enough money, so I borrowed a quarter from her, and I’ve been paying her back ever since.

The courtship

This is it! She’s still being courted. The most memorable moments? Our three children, which I’m told are mine!

The proposal

I was sitting in a deli, and I’d bought a loose diamond, and I put it on the table and said, “I got to go to the bathroom, but if you want to make a ring go ahead.”

I’m not a romantic; neither of us is romantic. One time in 43 years, I brought flowers home, and she said, “Where did you get these?” The truth is, I did take them from the set that I was working on.

The wedding and honeymoon

We were married in Toronto in 1980. We went to Yuk Yuk’s for our honeymoon. I was already living in Los Angeles, and we had to fly up for the wedding. We barely had enough money to buy the plane tickets for the wedding, so I timed it as a business trip (although I didn’t have big business then). Mark Breslin of Yuk Yuk’s gave me a feature, and the day after our wedding, she was sitting on a stool beside me on the stage at Yuk Yuk’s, and I explained to the audience that this was my honeymoon show. Again, I’m not a romantic, but this was a moment that she’ll never forget (or she’ll never let me forget!).

The kids

Yes, we have three kids. Two girls and a boy, and we have two grandkids.

Balancing a career and marriage

The more career I have, the better the marriage is. People ask us, “How do you make it last so long?” My wife says it’s because I’m always on the road. When I’m up in Canada filming Canada’s Got Talent and she’s not there with me, it makes her love me even more.

Shared hobbies and interests

I don’t have a hobby, and I don’t know that she has a hobby! I just work and hang out with my family. But we are interested in each other, so that’s a shared interest.

The secret to success

The secret for me is my wife. People have seen me on television or in concert and think I’m fun, and I probably am for a couple of hours, but living with me is not easy. I have a hard time living with me, and I’m seeing professionals to learn to cope with myself, and I take medication, so the fact that she has put up with me for 43 years is amazing. This question is for her. If there are any awards to be given out, please give them to my wife. She deserves it. I appreciate her and feel like the luckiest guy in the world.

The future

My philosophy is never to look into the future. I just try to make now as good as I can. All I have is now. I don’t know what tomorrow brings or what 10 minutes from now brings. I just try to cope and live and enjoy now. So hopefully in the future, there’s more nows.

You can shop the Nordstrom liquidation sales in Toronto starting tomorrow

After announcing the closure of all Canadian Nordstrom locations earlier this month, it was only a matter of time before liquidation sales would begin. They’re coming sooner than expected — the Ontario Superior Court of Justice gave the U.S.-based fashion retailer permission to liquidate its merchandise on Monday. A spokesperson for Nordstrom Canada confirmed in an email to Streets of Toronto that the company will begin sales right away, starting Tuesday.

The company is planning to wind down sales by June of this year. Gift cards will be honoured until the end of the department store’s liquidation for in-store purchases. While major sales can be expected, the retailer’s spokesperson could not confirm what kinds of discounts will be available.

Nordstrom announced that it will be shutting down all Canadian stores on March 2, including five Toronto locations. Launching in Canada in 2014, the store closures will result in an estimated job loss of 2,500 employees.

Nordstrom has 13 locations in Canada, including six flagship locations and seven discounted Nordstrom Rack stores. Their Toronto and GTA locations currently occupy space at Sherway Gardens, CF Toronto Eaton Centre and Yorkdale Shopping Centre, with Nordstrom Rack locations on Bloor Street and Vaughan Mills.

Nordstrom first came to Canada with a Calgary store in 2014, but quickly expanded to Ottawa and Vancouver. The flagship Toronto store at the Eaton Centre opened in 2016, and a Yorkdale store opened just a month later, followed by the two-level, 140,000 square foot Sherway Gardens location in 2017.

In court filings, Nordstrom stated that their operation has lost money every single year.

“We entered Canada in 2014 with a plan to build and sustain a long-term business there. Despite our best efforts, we do not see a realistic path to profitability for the Canadian business,” said chief executive officer Erik Nordstrom in a public statement.

Nordstrom is one of many department store chains that have shut down in Canada. Bed Bath & Beyond announced just a few weeks ago that it would halt all Canadian proceedings, which included 65 locations.

Spring arrives today and with warm weather approaching, we had DaiLo chef Nick Liu, best known for his unique, updated takes on Chinese cuisine, sample spring rolls from across the city. He took a tour across Asian cuisines and flavour profiles to find his favourite, with just the right crunch and spice.

WINNER: Kwan

What drew Liu to these spring rolls was the shrimp they’re made with. “This is the way I like it,” he says. “These are the things that I love,” he said. The dim sum restaurant, located in York Mills Gardens, crafts modern takes on traditional Chinese cuisine and has garnered high praise for its use of fresh ingredients in every dish. Three shrimp rolls come in every order, making them the perfect shareable starter for a dim sum experience. The three-piece spring roll appetizer is one of Kwan Dim Sum’s bestselling items, and it’s easy for Liu to see why. He couldn’t get enough of them.

This recent opening proves Parkdale is one of the city’s hottest culinary destinations

A few months ago, Victor Ugwuek took his eatery from a pop-up to a brick-and-mortar restaurant in the west end. Now, Parkdale is home to some of the best West African eats in the city, thanks to Afrobeat Kitchen.

Ugwuek’s widely popular recipes range from Nigerian jollof to Buka beef to oxtail pepper soup, each crafted with a fusion twist, which is inspired by his own upbringing in Lagos, Nigeria, where his mother owned restaurants. Afrobeat Kitchen’s cuisine is inspired by part sauce part stew dishes, which are colloquially called soups in Ugeuek’s native Nigeria.

“The buka beef is named after beloved open air food stalls, also called mama-puts, where most cooking is done over live fire of whatever the proprieter’s regional specialities and the market fresh ingredients of the day,” Ugwuek said in an Instagram post. “Palm butter is smoked off to clarify it before adding the obe ata base, a west african mother sauce of tomato onion tatashe red pepper reduction. Whatever vegetables are in season is lashed into other pots, often using this base as well to build up big flavours.”

Bringing West African delights to Parkdale has brought Ugwuek a ton of recognition and culinary fame: Recently local rapper Shad partook in Afrobeat Kitchen’s opening festivities, and the new location has given Torontoians the opportunity to try an emerging International cuisine.

His love of cooking, goes beyond the dishes themselves. For Ugwuek, it’s about the community that food can bring.

Food is survival as much as pleasure, resilience and strength for both the makers of food and those who share our tables,” he writes in an Afrobeat Kitchen Instagram post. “There’s something so special about a city that embraces each other’s identities and journeys. Each dish we make here is part celebration, part step forward carrying on my family’s legacy in our space.”

Afrobeat Kitchen is located at 1510 Queen St. W.
