PEC is only about 2.5 – 3 hours drive from Toronto so it is manageable as just a day trip, but has … Continue reading Prince Edward County: 2 Day Travel Guide

Par-Tee Putt: Mini Putt in Toronto
I never thought mini putt would be possible downtown Toronto given the amount of space an 18 hole course would take. But Par-Tee Putt has made it possible! With their own spin of course. It’s not like your regular mini putt, that’s for sure. There are no larger than life dinosaurs and no galactic indoor glow in the dark. However, Par-Tee Putt designed each of … Continue reading Par-Tee Putt: Mini Putt in Toronto
Steam Whistle Biergärten
Steam Whistle’s new biergarten in Toronto is definitely giving major European vibes with its communal style hall, self serve ordering, and high ceilings adorned with real plants. This beer hall also offers authentic German food by Food Dudes which brings me right back to my travels in Berlin. In Berlin, we tried Curry36’s famous Currywurst. Here at Steam Whistle we gave their Bratwurst a try which … Continue reading Steam Whistle Biergärten

October 2018
This month I really loved being able to easily access anything in the city. It felt refreshing to be able to walk out for dessert or grab drinks on a whim (without worrying who the designated driver is!). This is such a novelty for me as I lived in Markham for probably 15 years, where going anywhere required driving.
Here’s my October round up:
September 2018
Moving downtown has been a big change for me, one that I embarked around mid-August. The adulting aspect of it is gruelling and I dislike walking and taking public transit…but I am really enjoying living in the city core. Toronto just has so much to offer – there is always something happening and new each and every week. My plan is to do a monthly log to share some cool finds to fellow Torontonians living either downtown or uptown to check out.
Here’s my September round up of discoveries. Continue reading “September 2018”
