Neighborhoods in Toronto are hiding different nice details, which ordinary citizen will not notice. Thanks to Becky Johnson, the heedful photographer, we can admire interesting public art made by two artists in collaboration – James Gauvreau and Anna Panchev.

This beautiful night shot is perfectly representing the Sherwood Park located just inside the North Toronto neighbourhood. The photographer Don Toye made great job in this photo!

Quince Restaurant
2110 Yonge Street, Toronto, ON
(416) 488-2110
Neighbourhood: Yonge-Eglinton
Rated by Eye Magazine as ‘outstanding’, but receiving mixed reviews from Toronto Life who ultimately rated it one of Toronto’s Best New Restaurants in 2007, Quince falls into the category of a must-try – a Mediterranean-inspired bistro with reasonable prices and a reputation for fresh, innovative flavours. Formerly of the acclaimed Stork on the Roof, the husband and wife team of Jennifer Gittins and Michael van den Winkel reappeared in fall of 2006 with this new midtown digs, just a couple blocks south of the busy intersection at Yonge and Eglinton.

Trillium Bistro
1552 Avenue Road, Toronto, ON

We’d heard the buzz about Locavore, a hot restaurant that opened on Avenue Road north of Lawrence last year; how Executive Chef Matt Cowan was doing amazing things with naturally raised, locally sourced food (when you don’t serve anything out of season, you definitely have to get creative – when there are no tomatoes for the sauce, what do you substitute?) With great reviews from the Toronto Star and reliable sites like martiniboys and chowhound, we happily stepped outside our geographical comfort zone and into what feels like a little part of suburbia in the city. As we stood outside a convenience store at the corner of Avenue Road and Lawrence, I pointed across the street at the mega-Shoppers, open 24 hours, and told my partner that Locavore had to be right beside it.
