The trip to Toronto was REALLY fun.
Gwen was a fantabulous hostess, and I had a wonderful time. The pics are all on FB as well.. but here’s a small sample. I got to Toronto on Friday, it was raining, we headed back to Casa Gwen (which I loved!) and had some wine and chatted till pretty early.. or late. The next day we headed out for brunch at a place called
Hemmingways in Yorkville. After some eggs benny and Ceasars (the Canadian Bloody Mary) we walked around Kensington Market and China Town.
Did a lot of browsing, and a little shopping and after a full day of walking around we went back to the house to rest- and clean- up for dinner. Instead of going out for food though, we decided we’d go to the
grocery store, get a bunch of snacks and eat at home. 
Cheese, crackers, mushrooms, salami, baked brie, olives, baguette.. it was all so good!
That night we went to Gwen’s friend’s b’day party at a bowling alley. It was very old school and a lot of fun. Gwen won the first game, and I ended up winning the 2nd. Who wouldda thunk?!
In case anyone was wondering, Gwen has fun friends! (duh
)
On Sunday we took Gwen jr. with us and headed out for a b’day/mothers-day brunch at
Pogue Mahone. After that Gwen and I walked through the Antique Market at St. Lawrence Market. Despite some brief hail, it was really cool. Eventually it was time for me to head back to NYC.. and I was pretty zonked too.
I had such a nice time though. Gwen knows me well to take me to Kensington and then an antique market
It was a weekend of good food, a fun city and an awesome friend. I left grateful and happy.
In other news:
- I’ve been listening to Asaf Avidan. I want to check out Emeli Sande too. Time to step away from Pink’s Just Give Me A Reason..
- I’m glad that Cochran won Survivor. Once Malcolm was voted off he was who I was rooting for.
- Sayonara 90210 and Smash. I might seem sad, but i’m also just really glad I get 2 wasted hours of my life back now every week.
- This summer is shaping up to be a lot of fun. I head out to the west coast (LA, San Fran and Vegas) in 2 weeks time. Then there are trips to Maine, Chicago and the Berkshires on the horizon.
- This week the theater group I’m producing for has 2 shows at a local festival as well as their monthly regular performance. Tonight I am meeting a friend at the Oyster Bar for dinner. It will be quite a busy week. Busy but also very fun though.
- I’m seeing Joan Baez and the Indigo Girls, Passenger, Fun, Pilobolus and Blue Man Group perform this summer.
- I’m hoping to also go to the Snowmass Festival in Colorado. I’d love to see Jason Mraz and Grace Potter in the mountains, in the sun.
- Happy Summertime!

I had so much fun this weekend! I love my city so much, and it’s so great to play tour guide to people who like all the same stuff I do!!! I’ll be in NYC before you know it. xo!
Love the photo of the umbrella.
I haven’t seen Joan Baez in years and years.
Glad you were shown a good time in Toronto.
Hmmm… I love that plate. Makes me hungry.
