morning go to george st diner for breakfast if you’re in the east end , the people are the best there & i’ve never had a bad meal , they also turn tables at a truly impressive rate while never making you feel rushed .. real professionals at work 🫡 [irish breakfast is fantastic in all 3 sizes it’s offered in] -> {afterwards go across the street to window shop at haven if you’re into beautiful but expensive clothing} in the west end go to the federal it’s quick & reliable & cute , small menu but nothings bad [cubano & eggs federal are standouts for me] if you want a coffee i think hamers is the best in the city , they really care about what they’re doing & the prices are surprisingly reasonable in a world where a coffee can easily scrape $10 if you’re not careful ... rooms coffee also has a couple locations across the city & the spaces are thoughtful & beautiful & filled w/ the city's creative directoriest types afternoon ossington is a ridiculous street but there’s a couple great stores there if you like shopping , lost & found is great for high end basics & i miss you is one of the best designer consignment stores in the city . sonic boom probably has the biggest vinyl selection in the city but it’s also home to toronto‘a only genuine film photobooth , it’s so cute & fun to squeeze into the booth & get a little strip of photos to take home while around there you can walk around bellwoods & watch the dogs or get some great fruit & oysters from the farmers market if you’re there on a tuesday & head down the street to get a glass of wine at grape witches gorgeous back patio [they’re open from noon] you could also head west to high park which is huge & a great place for a picnic or a stroll museum wise the textile museum is small but always has something that takes my breath away , truly special exhibitions if you’re into textile arts for a snack stop by le’s sandwich [cash only] for a stunningly cheap & surprisingly good banh mi from the owner’s living room or make the trip up to st clair to go to futura granita + gelato exceptional vibrant flavours & unmatched textures .. best in the city & so worth the trek evening if you’re west you can go roncesvalles & catch a movie at the revue [the citys best theatre] , just go see whatever is playing the editorial team there is fantastic & the crowd is always fun ! pre movie you can browse vinegar syndrome if you’re into under seen/under distributed movies of all varieties , lots of beautiful re editions here by the house label as well as others for a nice dinner go to stop or mhel my two favourite restaurants in the city , seasonal & chef driven , both have small but passionate & kind teams who really care about the food & experience , definitely worth the admittedly high price to portion ratio , beautifully considered dishes & drinks but no fussy pretension behind them . more mid priced options are le swan or bar vendetta [both from jen agg the city’s most publicly opinionated restauranteur who is also one of the best] , dotty’s or cafeteria [one of the new dinner/dance club hybrid spots that are mysteriously becoming a thing here now] cafeteria in particular is headed by eric mcdonald who has been my favourite chef since she blew my mind with what she was doing at sakai bar a few years ago for drinks go to archive or little jerry for beautiful & interesting wine [little jerry in particular has fantastic warm sound & atmosphere & great vinyl dj’s setting the tone] or black dice for a fun japanese rockabilly cash bar this is so long sorry … but i love my city & i especially love the food & drink scene/community here i think it’s really something special 🥲

the Toronto reference library is a really cool building to spend some time in! There is also a cool magazine store called issues.  really like eating at Sunny’s Chinese, bbs, and rhum corner. Famiglia baldassare is a great pasta place but they are only open for lunch and there is usually a line. My fav little pizza place is called bitondo I like to do grocery shopping in Kensington market, there is a great spice store, Latin grocer and cheese store Civil liberties is a great bar, bireria volo is a good beer bar if you are into music / dancing I have additional recs!

love the idea of giving out a bunch of cameras and just letting guests go ham with whatever pics they find most important, whether intoxicated or sober. you miss so many little moments as bride/groom, when you’re essentially just the centrepiece for a large event. but being able to witness these intimate bits of joy from loved ones, even though you werent able to directly participate, is beautiful nonetheless imo seconding the excitement re: áo dàis! :”)

what is suffering and what is it to art? how does one find the joy of creation and is that joy enough? impressive performance from fassbender despite barely seeing his face. watched it for the first time in 2018 with a brand new group of friends i thought i’d have forever. that group has since spectacularly imploded, but i watch this movie every few years to commemorate them and the new friends i’ve made since.
