Local author Nathalie Prézeau moved to Toronto from Montréal, over 20 years ago. She's played tourist ever since, in and around Toronto and surrounding cities.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Beauty is inside, literally</b></span> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We craved the white stuff until today (Dec. 29, as I'm writing this post), forgetting that in urban settings, it always turns into wet grey stuff! I strongly suggest a visit to the Gardiner Museum to prevent the blues or cabin fever and enjoy the clever current exhibition, which is <span style="color: red;">on until January 10, 2016</span>.</span><br />
<br />

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TgK9SrHPm5Q/VoLJNf6C8sI/AAAAAAAARJo/COSmys0Uq_w/s1600/Kent%2BMonkman%2Bat%2BGardiner%2BMuseum%2Btorontourbanstrolls.com%2B8.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TgK9SrHPm5Q/VoLJNf6C8sI/AAAAAAAARJo/COSmys0Uq_w/s400/Kent%2BMonkman%2Bat%2BGardiner%2BMuseum%2Btorontourbanstrolls.com%2B8.jpeg" width="266" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">While I make a good case to encourage families to visit it to enjoy the <span style="color: orange;"><b><a href="http://www.torontofunplaces.com/component/k2/item/777-12-trees-of-christmas-at-gardiner-museum">12 Trees of Christmas</a></b></span> offered until January 3 (visit this page for a photo gallery), the elegant museum is fantastic for savvy art lovers.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The <i>Rise and Fall of Civilization</i>, an installation by artist <b><span style="color: orange;"><a href="http://www.kentmonkman.com/">Kent Monkman</a></span></b>, is equally brilliant and whimsical, the more you look at it. Referencing the near extinction of the American bison, it features Miss Chief (the artist's sexy alter ego) overlooking bison jumping off a cliff. A picture is worth a thousand words, so I'll leave you with these, and a few photos of the rest of the collections.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Monkman's exhibition goes on until January 10, 2016. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">(Holiday opening hours: </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Closed on January 1st</span>, opens daily at 10 a.m., closes at 6 p.m on </span>Dec. 29 & 30, </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">at 4 p.m. on </span>Dec. 31, then at 5 p.m. on weekends, at 6 p.m. Monday to Thursday and at 9 p.m. on Fridays.</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Note that <span style="color: red;">admission is half-price on Fridays from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.</span></span>) </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">A friend of mine (francophone) recently sold his Toronto condo to
buy an apartment building (including many tenants and three shops), and he
was left with money to renovate! He knows of many people who have moved
to Hamilton as well. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There's definitely a buzz about Hamilton, and when visiting the neighbourhood around James Street North, I understood why!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I first heard about James Street through promotions for <span style="color: orange;"><span style="color: orange;"><a href="http://supercrawl.ca/">James Street Supercrawl</a></span></span>, </span><span style="font-size: large;">Hamilton’s
annual celebration of music, art, fashion and culture. (The last one
took place on September 11-13, 2015.) The rest of the year, the <span style="color: orange;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/jamesnorthartcrawl">James North Community</a></span> organizes Art Crawls on the 2nd Friday night of every month.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I was seduced by James Street North! </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Cool shops, great cafés, lovely architecture and up-and-coming vibe abound between King William and Barton Streets.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The café is huge, with eclectic decor, nooks and a long outdoor patio. They serve a good spread of home-baked goods and vegetarian light meals, as well as serious coffee, and they're licensed! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Funny story</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Linda Plater is the dynamic BIA Coordinator for the <a href="http://villageofislington.com/">Village of Islington</a> neighbourhood, aptly self-proclaimed "Toronto's Village of Murals". She's also the editor of </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">the local quarterly </span><a href="http://www.villageofislington.com/files/VIT_1015_final.pdf"><i>Islington Times</i></a>, and recently wrote an article about <i>Toronto Urban Strolls 1</i>.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> Here's how she found out about my walking guide and the fact that it includes</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"> the </span><span style="font-size: large;">Islington Village Murals Stroll:</span> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"Half dressed in the gym change room, my tennis friend told me about her recent self-guided tour of the Islington murals. And she raved that her group of girlfriends loved their afternoon out exploring Islington! This active group of Mississauga young, fit seniors were planning more trips with the help of a fabulous guidebook."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Mini stroll around Baby Point </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Linda's street, our starting point, is a dead-end with access to the park flanking the Humber River. We soon reached the paved path and headed north to cross the Old Mill Bridge and enter <a href="http://www.torontofunplaces.com/component/k2/item/226-etienne-br-park">Étienne Brûlé Park</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">We turned right on Baby Point Road, aiming at Coffee
Culture Café at the corner of Jane and Annette Streets, an unassuming
coffee shop serving good light meals.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I was thrilled to discover <a href="http://www.yelp.ca/biz/queen-margherita-pizza-baby-point-toronto">Queen Margherita Pizza</a> just across from the café. (I have been to their location in Leslieville and love their Neapolitan pizza.) The Baby Point location is bright and cheerful and would be the perfect end to a long walk along both sides of the Humber River in Étienne Brûlé Park.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">On our way back, a Little Free Library</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"> caught our attention on baby Point Road. W</span>e see more and more of them around the city (read this post on the <a href="http://torontoist.com/2012/07/a-new-chapter-in-book-borrowing/">Torontoist</a>.)</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When we reached the Humber, the glistening water was too temping under the sun. We decided to walk along the river. At this time of the year, you can see people trying their luck to catch salmon (Yep! there's salmon in that river), but fish didn't get there by chance. It's part of <a href="http://www.ontario.ca/page/ontarios-fish-stocking-program">Ontario's fish stocking program</a>. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We met again the high school students who turned out to be excellent at spotting salmon! We followed a few specimens in their attempt to swim up the low dam.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We walked back on the paved road on the west side of the river, passing the kayaks of <a href="http://torontoadventures.ca/our-adventures/kayakingandcanoeing/">Toronto Adventures</a> (getting ready for its last aquatic adventure of the season).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Linda told us about Hurricane Hazel which blew over 200 mm of rain in 1954, enough to flood the area. Then she showed us the blue wave on one of the pillar under the Bloor Bridge, marking the level that the waters of the Humber reached during Hazel!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Once again, I've seen how great walks encourage great conversations. We will definitely continue to stroll together around our great city.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Yep! This scene was capture in a residential Toronto area!</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Mimico Creek Path is a hidden little gem </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">just a few blocks south of Bloor Street West </span>in Etobicoke, the western part of Toronto. The whole loop described here is less than 1-km long (see map at the end of the photo gallery).</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">I had noticed a clearing at the end of dead-end Meadowvale Drive, which normally announces a small ravine. Wanting to take some photos of fall colours, I decided to go down the path and explore the surroundings.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Be warned, this is a diamond in the rough. The trail may be slippery, and at times a bit challenging (climbing up and down some big </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">boulders by the creek </span>at some point). You will notice a bit of litter here and there, and probably a few tags airbrushed on the retaining walls by the cascade. But if you look at the right place...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The joyful sound of the water running down the creek; the glorious beauty of the sun through the trees and the fall colours reflecting on the smooth dark creek; and the wall by the water creating a decent platform to sit and sip </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">and admire </span>(there's a </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Starbucks coffee shop at Thompson Avenue and Bloor West, with the bakery Bake Sale on the Kingsway across the street, a mere 3-minute walk away).</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">West of Thompson Avenue, Meadowvale Drive is the dead-end trail with a path leading to Mimico Creek Path. One would think this is a private backyard but the yellow fire hydrant in the middle of the small trail tells you otherwise.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">You soon hear the stream. Turn left to access the wider part of the creek.</span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My girlfriend and I were hungry after our Friday night visit to the ROM. The night was relatively warm for this time of the year, so we opted to go and have a bite at <a href="http://www.carenswineandcheese.com/index_yorkville.html">Carens Wine and Cheese Bar</a> (158 Cumberland Street, </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">a 2-minute walk from the ROM)</span>. What a great idea it was!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm always thrilled to initiate someone to Carens' backyard. The food is always great and they have one of my favourite patios in Toronto. A true hidden gem. (See <a href="http://torontourbanstrolls.blogspot.ca/2014/10/carens-wine-and-cheese-bar-in-fall.html">more photos</a> I took last year.)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Good news, they supply blankets and a big heater. I don't know how long they will keep it open. Weather permitting. Just call them at 416-962-5158 before, to play on the safe side. By the way, they have cheese fondue on their menu (on their wine menu, actually!) and their lightly spicy mac and cheese is the best.</span></div>

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Open Streets TO 2015: Sunday August 16 and Sunday September 6, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.</span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Last year was a pilot. This year, <a href="http://www.openstreetsto.org/">Open Streets TO</a> is taking place on two separate dates along Bloor (between Parliament and Bathurst) and Yonge (between Bloor and Queen). Next year, I think we'll officially have a new Toronto tradition!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Last year, I started to walk on Parliament. The wide street was empty of people, and carless. The good citizen that I am had to train herself to actually walk on the street. By default, I kept walking on the sidewalk!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Closer to Yonge, the crowd started to show up. It took me a while to figure out what was different about this event. Then I clued in! No vendors!!! It makes a big difference. The event did not rent street space to street vendors. Instead, they've welcomed any organisations who want to offer some form of physical activity.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I've seen moms who simply couldn't resist the invitation to jump in dancing ropes. Poeple had drawn labyrinth on the asphalt. Many wrote fun messages. Some were involved in the creation of an installation called <a href="http://disposableproject.ca/">Disposable Project</a>. This year, I expect even more action!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Of course, the stores open and some offer sidewalk discounts, but many also play along with the spirit of the event and give samples or pay entertainement. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">During my visit, Holt Renfrew offered free coffee and a cool band.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">All in all, a refreshing event for the whole family, dog included!</span><br />

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Open Street TO 2015: Sunday August 16 and Sunday September 6, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.</span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Last year was a pilot. This year, it's taking place on two separate dates along Bloor (between Parliament and Bathurst) and Yonge (between Bloor and Queen). Next year, I think we'll officially have a new Toronto tradition!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Last year, I started to walk on Parliament. The wide street was empty of people, and carless. The good citizen that I am had to train herself to actually walk on the street. By default, I kept walking on the sidewalk!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Closer to Yonge, the crowd started to show up. It took me a while to figure out what was different about this event. Then I clued in! No vendors!!! It makes a big difference. The event did not rent street space to street vendors. Instead, they've welcomed any organisations who want to offer some form of physical activity.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I've seen moms who simply couldn't resist the invitation to jump in dancing ropes. Poeple had drawn labyrinth on the asphalt. Many wrote fun messages. Some were involved in the creation of an installation called <a href="http://disposableproject.ca/">Disposable Project</a>. This year, I expect even more action!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Of course, the stores open and some offer sidewalk discounts, but many also play along with the spirit of the event and give samples or pay entertainement. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">During my visit, Holt Renfrew offered free coffee and a cool band.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Scott Eunson and Marianne Lovink are Canadian artists who have been working collaboratively on public art projects since 2009. They're the duo responsible for the gorgeous Lansdowne Fence Streetscape commissioned by the TTC.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We can now admire their new installation along Sumach Street, at the corner of Eastern and Sumach</span> <span style="font-size: large;">in Corktown, by Pan Am's village of the athletes. Follow the sidewalk eastbound on Eastern to reach the great <a href="http://www.torontofunplaces.com/component/k2/item/762-underpass-park"><b><span style="color: orange;">Underpass Park</span></b></a>, or walk a few minutes south of Eastern, on Cherry Street, to access <a href="http://www.torontofunplaces.com/component/k2/item/306-the-distillery-district"><span style="color: orange;"><b>The Distillery</b></span></a>). </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Start at Eastern and Sumach to better appreciate the chronological progression of the art: from the wilderness, thousands of years ago, to modern day Inglenook School, that we can see right at this corner!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">At Sumach and King East, turn west to see the <a href="http://www.torontofunplaces.com/toronto-fun-blog/105-the-new-face-of-street-art-around-corktown-common"><span style="color: orange;">amazing murals</span></a> on four pillars of the underpass. </span><br />

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Loved it!</span></b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>Last week, I went with two friends to try the dim sum brunch at Luckee, Susur Lee's new Chinese restaurant. </b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">My two friends are French guys. And the two French guys behind </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://yummybaguette.com/">yummybaguette.com</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">. That is to say they are really, really picky about desserts. One of them, a vegetarian, has travelled extensively throughout Asia. That is to say he is truly picky about Asian food. I'm just a girl who loves good food. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">We all loved it!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Luckee Chinese Restaurant & Bar is located at 328 Wellington Street West, within the Soho Hotel in Toronto. You can use their own door (passing by a whimsical mural) but I recommend you enter through the Soho Hotel, stop on the threshold and look up to admire <a href="http://www.metropolitan.com/soho/chihuly.asp">Chihuly's fantastic glasswork</a> with the CN Tower in the background.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-q20-3fZZCww/VKQnsz5zeZI/AAAAAAAANAY/gt_ul51dYmQ/s1600/Luckee%2Bkitchen%2Bcounter%2Btorontourbanstrolls.com.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-q20-3fZZCww/VKQnsz5zeZI/AAAAAAAANAY/gt_ul51dYmQ/s1600/Luckee%2Bkitchen%2Bcounter%2Btorontourbanstrolls.com.jpg" width="266" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">On your left, take in the dramatic decor of Luckee's beautiful lounge, mixing up the modern and traditional with luscious red velvet furniture, modern lamps and huge photo of a bather. The restaurant section is beyond the bar. It includes a counter overlooking the busy kitchen. (I was told that we can also eat in the lounge when the section is open.)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">You can dine there Tuesday to Sunday from 5:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. and have a dim sum brunch Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The bar section is open daily from 4 p.m. to 1 a.m. Note that the regular menu also offers dim sum, just not as many as you'll find on the dim sum brunch menu. You can <a href="http://luckeerestaurant.com/#home">reserve online</a>.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I'm sure everything is equally good on the menu but our favourite amongst the selection we tasted during our visit: the crunchy texture of the rice rolls, the beautiful square shape of the crab and tofu dim sum and the cloud-like fell of the coconut tart. We didn't take alcohol and it cost us $33 per person, tax and tip included. We'll be back!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">At Christmas time, it's always a pleasure to walk by <a href="http://www.lea-annbelter.com/flagship_store.php">Lea-Ann Belter</a>'s bridal boutique at the corner of Dundas and Broadview in Toronto. For years, the designer has dressed up her Christmas windows with glamorous paper dress creations.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>Cabbagetown is always a favourite destination of mine to find fun little gifts... or to point my husband in the right direction for my Christmas gift.</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">See the very cool things I saw at <a href="http://www.thelabouroflove.ca/">Labour of Love</a> this week! I focused on the small gifts but you can get serious jewelry in this store located at 242 Carlton in Cabbagetown. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Cool books</span></b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">They're big on clever little books but this $15 one really caught my attention because it will make it easy for you to offer a very personal gift: <i>What I love about Mom, by me</i>. On the back cover, you can read: Think of Mom, Fill in blanks, Give book to Mom, Offer tissues... They also carry <i>What I love about you, by me</i>. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I'm not sure one ever outgrows the thrill of emptying her Christmas stocking. I know I still love finding trinkets to fill my <strike>kids</strike> <strike>teens</strike> young adults' stocking. It is always the first thing that gets opened on Christmas morning. <span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;">(Update: This post was written in 2014.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I went to Bergo Designs this week (the gift store in the middle of Tank House Lane at <a href="http://www.torontofunplaces.com/component/k2/item/306-the-distillery-district">The Distillery</a>) and once again saw many cool gift ideas between $6 and $30, many of them perfect to add into the stockings. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Beware, things fly off the shelves quickly! What you see here (seen in the store on December 4) might not be there anymore. But t</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">his is just the tip of the iceberg. The place is packed with fun or beautiful objects and gorgeous home decor items.</span><br />

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Great combo in Riverside!</span></b><br />
<b>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">On my way to the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;">Merchants of Green Coffee</span>, I always walk across Joel Weeks Park, another hidden treasure nested in Riverside, located by the Don Valley. This morning, I noticed it recently got even better, with the addition of three fun sculptures.</span></b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xM56gk4r9HM/VFKXzJJ8GwI/AAAAAAAAMNo/AAHGTlLGOzY/s1600/Joel%2BWeeks%2BPark%2B2%2Btorontofunplaces.com.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xM56gk4r9HM/VFKXzJJ8GwI/AAAAAAAAMNo/AAHGTlLGOzY/s1600/Joel%2BWeeks%2BPark%2B2%2Btorontofunplaces.com.jpeg" height="400" width="266" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">At the southern entrance of tiny <a href="http://www.torontofunplaces.com/component/k2/item/530-joel-weeks-park"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">Joel Weeks Park</span></a>, off Thompson Street (one street north of Queen east), a sculpture of four squirrels holding a giant acorn reminds me of the acorn-obsessed squirrel in <i>Ice Age</i>. By the playground, a fat beaver sits on its tail, on a boulder featuring the carvings of fish and an otter. By Matilda Street (with the café in the background) is a lonesome fox.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The Riverside BIA let me know that they're the work of <a href="http://www.haliburtoncdc.ca/move-your-business-here/success-stories1/mary-anne-barkhouse-and-michael-belmore1.html">Mary Ann Barkhouse and Michael Belmore</a> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">(not officially unveiled yet!), </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">commisssioned by the City Parks, Forest and Recreation.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Fall gives a yellow hue to the beautiful trees, great landscaping with tall grass blowing in the wind creates a textured background. Just love it. And no wonder it's so lovely! The park was designed by Janet Rosenberg and Studios, the ones who gave us little gems such as Town Hall Square in Yorkville and Courthouse Square between King and Adelaide.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Walking past the fox, I peeked into the backyard of a place that seems to be collecting architectural ornaments from old buildings (today, I saw two Eiffel Towers and a pig sculpture). At the door of <a href="http://merchantsofgreencoffee.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">Merchants of Green Coffee</span></a> awaited my friend Cat. He will later join me on the bench as I write this post. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The place was quiet in the morning, with a couple playing Scrabbles and three business people planning a marketing coup on the Shopping Channel. In the afternoon, it filled up with a large team scouting locations for a movie and people having casual business meetings. Then, a good friend came to meet me at my "office"...</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It's Halloween time, which explains why I was greeted in the washroom by a candle-lit sculpted pumpkin, painted in white. What a great idea!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large; letter-spacing: 0px;">We didn't know what to expect. Would it be awkward to visit artists' private houses without buying anything? Would there be art within our budget? One thing for sure, going with a few girlfriends gave us all the courage to find out.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span>What's the verdict? The participating artists do everything in their power to make us feel at ease. Many join other fellow artists under a same roof to create more ambiance. Some even offer a little bite to welcome the visitors. All simply love to talk about their art and they understand the value of getting us better acquainted with their work even if we don't buy right away. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange; font-size: large;">(<a href="http://beachstudiotour.ca/blog1/tour-map/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">Click here to print the Beach Studio Tour's map</span></a>.)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large; letter-spacing: 0px;">For Fall 2014, the tour takes place from October 24 to 26 (Friday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.). It includes 13 locations where we can admire the artwork from local 22 artists (you may check their map at the bottom of the Studio Guide section on <a href="http://beachstudiotour.ca/blog1/tour-map/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">www.beachstudiotour.ca</span></a>.

<span style="font-size: large; letter-spacing: 0px;">I recommend you start your walk at point A on my map, just north of Kingston Road (395 Scarborough Road, #12 on official Tour map). You will easily find street parking in the area and you will get a chance to meet the charming painter <a href="http://www.nathalievachon.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">Nathalie Vachon</span></a> whom we met four years ago when we first did the tour (she speaks French). She's teaming with jeweller <a href="http://touch-of-glass.ca/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">Sandra Greenwood</span></a>.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">For the big finish, keep going northbound on Balsam. You will be able to access <a href="http://www.torontofunplaces.com/component/k2/item/253-glen-stewart-ravine"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">Glen Stewart Ravine</span></a> from a little path hidden between two private houses (across from the school). It leads to the spectacular staircase recently built to enhance this ravine. It offers the best view in the whole park. At the foot the the stairs, turn right and you'll forget you're in the middle of the big city. At the fork, keep your right. The stairs will lead you to </span>Beech Avenue, which meets Kingston Road further north. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>Last week, I had lunch with girlfriends at French restaurant and bakery Cluny Bistro. "So we can celebrate George's wedding", pointed out one of us (get it?). The place was not as chichi as I expected. Great addition to The Distillery!</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Their beautiful boulangerie is open daily from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. They make a very decent croissant and you can grab a coffee for take-out any time. Their fancy pastries include many traditional French creations revisited with success. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The restaurant section is open daily, at least from 12 noon to 10 p.m. We tried their Croque-Madame (substential, made with the perfect gruyère), their crispy Dinosaur Kale salad (fresh and tasty) and their Hanger Steak with fries (their frites are ze real thing). Service was a bit on the casual side (mixed-up in order, delays, omissions, waiter with his fly open...). Ok, service was sort of bad, but balanced by a lovely attitude, and I felt it was on account of this new large restaurant still training its young staff. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The decor is impressive. They have a headed patio. The food is great. Lunch or brunch prices relatively affordable and they make serious pastries. It's a keeper! I'll return with pleasure to try their <a href="http://clunybistro.com/brunch"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">brunch menu</span></a>, followed by a leisure tour of <a href="http://www.torontofunplaces.com/component/k2/item/306-the-distillery-district"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">The Distillery</span></a>.</span><br />
