Holiday 2020: KANDL ARTISTIQUE – Buy Local or Bye Local
KANDL Artistique The lighting of a candle has always felt, for me, one of two ways.

The Green Wood King West – A Solid Maybe?
When I moved to King West back in 2012, it was an absolute cluster of pub grub, random night clubs, pizza, and the odd upscale restaurant. Returning to Toronto in 2018, everything has changed, but it still feels the same. The same vibe from Brant House (I’m aging myself here) and Brassai lingers. As the…
Meet Me in Hoi An: What to Do in Vietnam’s Shopping Mecca
Slowing Down in Hoi An Without Ever Missing a Beat My trip to Cambodia and Vietnam was planned down to the minute (as always), but derailed the moment I decided to forego Hanoi and head straight to Ho Chi Minh City. A couple of friends of mine were traveling through Vietnam, and after a few…
Toronto Foodie – DUNK Burgers & Chocolate Restaurants
DUNK Burgers and Chocolate Last week we were invited to DUNK Burgers and Chocolate, a sweet little restaurant on Queen Street just West of Bathurst before you hit Trinity Bellwoods.

Move Over, Manila – El Nido, Palawan – Paradise in the Philippines
This year has been my most fortunate when it comes to scoring travel deals. I thought that moving back to Toronto would mean that my days of jet-setting around Asia had come to an end. Perhaps I’d meander through my own country for a bit or head south of the border, I thought. China Eastern…
