We know that pretty much everyone is open New Year's Eve, but what about New Year's Day? Outside of hotel restaurants and Chinatown, here's a list I compiled of decent brunch and dinner eats for January 1, 2012.

Geneva, April 2011

Jen — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 19:29:40 +0000

In my youth, I spent three months traipsing around a city of chocolate, clocks, and cows: Geneva, Switzerland. Ostensibly to refine my French, I revelled in my independence abroad. Given that I was almost 16, a “good kid,” and had a total of $400 for frivolous spending, you can imagine how not-crazy I was. Still, ...more

It was just last year that I wrote about a plethora of places opening up in Leslieville and environs. Well, apparently, the trend continues for spring 2011. Here are some new openings and movement in the last few months. Hooked is the new fishmonger in town, offering a curated collection of sustainable fish. The knowledgeable staff ...more

BYOW + Corkage in Toronto

Jen — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 03:51:47 +0000

I’ve been busy these last two weeks. There was a lot of chatter on Chowhound about corkage fees and not having a good, updated, listing. So people would post about what they knew and well, it horrified me. No sorting? No searching? GASP. Now, I’m no oenophile, but I am a nerd. And so I compiled ...more

Nibbles ‘n’ Notes Around Town

Jen — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 20:31:01 +0000

Toronto has been blanketed by snow for the last while and somehow all that fresh white powder made me want to take long walks around the city. Here’s what I’ve seen in the last couple of weeks on my meanderings. Great Burger Kitchen (9 1/2 Church Street, south of Front) has opened its newest location, ...more

A short list of restaurants with New Year's Eve openings that you won't find on Open Table. Clearly, not an exhaustive list. And of course, call ahead to make sure.

Billy’s Wine Book

Jen — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 15:15:38 +0000

Billy's Best Bottles details well-priced wines and is organized for easy-reading. Meaning that if you're a wine noob like me, this is a really friendly way to understand wines and get some suggestions. Certainly useful when confronted with the rows upon rows of bottles at the LCBO.

Daily deals are getting better - I actually want to buy them. Last week was a good deal for About Cheese and today we have Fin Izakaya (which I enjoy) and Callebaut (ditto).

Chicago, June 2010

Jen — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 23:20:26 +0000

Escaping the brouhaha that was the G20 in Toronto, I ran off with Endy to Chicago for an extended weekend. Though our hotel was located just off the shopping Mecca that is the Magnificent Mile, we, of course, hadn't chosen Chicago for its shopping, but rather for its food. After some extensive research, the itinerary was set up and like all my trips, sight-seeing was optional and merely a good way to kill time between meals. I had short-listed 7 restaurants, 3 markets, and a pig butchering demo during our stay, with several optional places (mostly of the drinking variety) to hit if we had time.
