Moments no. 6

Summer in Toronto. A fleeting three months of sunshine, humidity, and endless things to do. This past summer was one of my favourites; the weather was near perfect and every weekend held a new adventure, whether it be a festival, a concert, a new restaurant, or an art exhibition. As is typical with Toronto summers, it ended way too soon, and here we are now on the cusp of December with a long and cold winter ahead.

Some of my favourite moments of summer '16: trying new craft beer at Bandit Brewery, Batch, and Shawn & Ed Brewing Co.; indulging in charcuterie boards and crusty bread while picnicking in Riverdale Park; tasting the infamous vegan Big Mac from Doomie's at the Toronto Vegan Food Festival; catching this year's Gladstone Grow-Op, Vilhelm Hammershøi, Lawren Harris, and Franz Erhard Walther exhibitions at the Gladstone Hotel, AGO, and Power Plant, respectively; road tripping to Dundas, Ontario and Niagara-on-the-Lake; and a long weekend getaway to Las Vegas with my family.

Copenhagen through the iPhone

No matter how many times I visit Copenhagen, the city never ceases to amaze me. 

Highlights from my ten days in Copenhagen include: beers at Mikkeller & Friends, my favourite Danish microbrewery; a train ride along the Øresund coast to visit the new M/S Maritime Museum of Denmark; dinner at Bæst, an Italian-inspired restaurant run by notable chef Christian Puglisi; brunch at Møller Kaffe og Køkken with my lovely Swedish friend; pink interiors at Kaibosh, a new Scandinavian eyewear concept; afternoon drinks in the sunshine with my Danish family at Kølster's Tolv Haner, a cozy bar on Rantzausgade; a trip up the Rundetårn for old times' sake; partying at Distortion, by far the most unique music festival in the world; exploring idyllic Christianshavn; sampling everything at Copenhagen Street Food, a fantastic food vendor concept on PapirØen; and finally, a life-affirming dinner at Den Røde Cottage in beautiful Klampenborg.
