Summer in the City

And just like that, summer is over. Personally, I am beyond excited for cooler temperatures and many guilt-free evenings spent on the couch. Below are a few things I got up to over the summer:

The Toronto Mac & Cheese Festival in Liberty Village. I got to experience udon-inspired macaroni and cheese, mac and cheese ice cream, and mac and cheese sushi - a deep fried roll of mac and cheese encrusted with spicy Doritos and topped with a dollop of ketchup and drizzle of Sriracha. Too good.

Admiring the summer flowers in my parents' garden. 

Brunch at Cluny, a Parisian-inspired bistro in the heart of the Distillery District.

A late August wedding at the Palais Royale, overlooking Lake Ontario. A big congratulations to the newlyweds Jason and Caroline!

Saying so-long to summer (and welcome home to a good friend) at Sugar Beach during the Labour Day weekend.

Moments no. 3

A little photo update of life over the past few months. Spring was spent checking out the many new art exhibitions popping up throughout the city - Winter Stations and everywhere is anywhere is anything is everything were my favourites. I attended Toronto Fashion Week for the first time (!), and went on a Jane's Walk through Toronto's Public Libraries. I met my favourite chef Sarah Britton of My New Roots at Good Egg in Kensington Market, which sparked a newfound interest and love for cooking. A number of beautiful cafes - ODIN, Boxcar Social, and Neo Coffee Bar - opened in Corktown, and have become a weekend morning ritual. Tickets to a TFC game marked the beginning of summer, and a few weekends ago I watched the Paris Saint-Germain vs. Benfica game which was a phenomenal experience. I recently celebrated my 24th birthday at Kasa Moto and The Chase, followed by a delicious brunch at Cluny in the Distillery District. It's been a great long weekend so far.
