eMbody Fitness: Afternoon Slumps, Summer Berries
July 11th, 2010

Q: I am an active, healthy person but I always get the afternoon "slump and fog" which has me running for something to give me energy. Could I have a blood sugar problem? Besides nuts, what else could I carry with me to avoid this hypoglycaemic type reaction?

It was by special invitation that we went to Harbour 60 to see the renovations and sample the new menu. What is described is an evening which will rank with some of the unforgettable ones in my lifetime. Yes, it was that good.

The idea is wonderful. Imagine you don’t have to go downtown or to Mississauga to have dinner and see a live show. You don’t even have to go from the restaurant to the theatre.

Ruby Watch Co.
Does the name Lynn Crawford ring any bells? Think hard! Lynn was the Executive chef of the Four Seasons here in Toronto. She held the same position with the same establishment in New York City and at the time was the ONLY executive chef who was a female in their 70 restaurants world-wide.

Located downstairs at 70 Yorkville, Chimichanga is the newest and best Mexican restaurant in Toronto. Sister to the Yonge and Eglinton eatery, this smaller and quieter version has a similar menu but is just a little more chic than uptown.

Lobster by Jessica Merz
If you grew up in Toronto and are a boomer you will remember The Lobster Trap. Located a couple of blocks north of Lawrence on Avenue Road, this was one of a few places we all went for a fancy Sunday night for dinner. The lineups went outside the door and if you were like most families you didn’t make a reservation. But the wait was worth it. That was 30 years ago or more.

Tom Petty by Mark Yuen
Are you looking for some interesting musical events to attend in the future? Then let me tell you that the well-known 59 years old rocker Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers will visit Canada during the summer. And of course, they are going to come to Toronto.

Billy Elliot by Nathanael Hevelone
The moment I walked in the room, I could tell it was a season of big delights.
Please forgive the paraphrase of one of the hit songs from SWEET CHARITY: “Hey Big Spender”. If you remember the music and the story, it is a treasure of a musical that promises to bring smiles and toe tapping to audience members. It is one of six shows announced last week for the 2010/2011 Season presented by David Mirvish.

Black chopsticks by Toby Oxborrow
Every once in a while, even a foodie is exposed to some taste sensations that are new, unique and absolutely tantalizing. Such is the new fusion of Japanese and Korean currently being served up at Koko on Yorkville.

St. Clair West is in a state of transition. The new street car system is finally finished and whether or not you are a fan of this so-called improvement along St. Clair, you can take solace that some wonderful new eating establishments have emerged west of Bathurst and east of Dufferin.

Welcome to Serra Pizza & Pasta!
With well over a decade serving the heart of The Annex, Serra Pizza & Pasta is rapidly becoming one of the few respectable restaurants on the Bloor Street strip between Spadina and Bathurst – which is sliding into what some might call disrepute.

Sabatino’s Ristorante

- Contact: (416) 783-5829
Welcome to Sabatino’s!
Sabatino’s has been a Forest Hill fixture just a stone’s throw from the Eglinton West subway for the past 32 years, but when the polished restaurant opens for these two hungry diners, it’s a very youthful couple that greets us enthusiastically by the door and ushers us into the restaurant’s bright interior. They’re at least thirty years younger than the uniformed waiter who waves us to the cloakroom to hang up our coats.
