city views

 a quick post on cities.....and towns. because while we live in an incredible metropolis with thousands of restaurants and millions of people, my brother is out there in lake louise, alberta, with little of the above. and he is loving it.

we're lucky to live in a city with such a well-recognized skyline. took a few cool shots from an amazing vantage point-the thomspon hotel. what a great view of toronto-sunset on a saturday.

 

reminiscent of old time toronto.

view from toula. while the meal was disappointing, the city twinkled below.

from city.....to THIS!

a special feature: my little brother, jeff, just moved to lake louise, alberta. he sent me this amazing picture! city skyline hardly compares! we miss you, jeff!

lake louise, alberta

isn't that magic?!

winterlicious time

the snow is just beginning to fall, yet those in the city are eagerly awaiting winterlicious.  
the wintertime event gives torontonians the opportunity to explore 175 of toronto's top restaurants as they serve delicious, three-course, prix-fixe menus.

i have been exploring the menus for weeks trying to determine my faves.  so far on my personal list: toula and cantine.
check out the winterlicious restaurant list. 
it runs for two weeks  from january 27-february 9.
please write your top picks in the comment section below**. 
i am planning on reviewing the restaurants and am open to suggestions!
enjoy!
