Lahore Tikka House

Just a few steps east of Greenwood, one will suddenly be hit with a wall of potent spices; he has entered Little India.



Known for constantly being under construction, Lahore Tikka House is the place which marks the beginning (or the end---depending on one way you're coming from) of the Indian Bazaar.

Not Everything is at Your Fingertips

We have always been taught to follow our passions as that would result in the greatest amount of success. However, I use that word lightly as success can come in many forms whether that be money, happiness, positive feedback…the list goes on.

Unfortunately, this is not always the case as after years of commitment and dedication, Jim Rankin from the Toronto Star says he is still waiting for that positive feedback: audience appreciation.

Back in 2002, Rankin began an online news site for the Toronto Star which would inform Canadians of the crime and punishment system in our country; specifically, it would tell us how billions of dollars are being put into the system each year because of the ever-changing criminal laws.

With our pocketbooks being a top priority these days, you would think that this informative site would be of interest to any Canadian.

Rankin says that that may be the case, if the Toronto Star had a better way of properly show casing web-exclusive content.

With the internet being highly accessible to almost everyone these days, you would think that a successful newspaper would strive to have all of its information a click-a-way…Especially after the generous amount of time that Rankin put into the site in order to come into contact with his Freedom of Information requests.

To put that time frame into perspective, Rankin says that he just received information on a file request he put out in 2003.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it took me that long to find his interactive site, as after hours of searching Google I wasn’t in anyway closer to it.

With a site that has everything you need to know about crime and punishment in Canada at your finger tips, the accessibility of it should come just as easy.

A Night of Dinner and Theatre

During Toronto’s winter months, evening outings tend to be sparse, as leaving the toasty confines of one’s home becomes a mere difficult task. But if the evening involves indulging into a four course meal prepared for you and then watching a live performance inside a warm theatre, then how can you say no?

George Brown College on King St. has Torontonians figured out this winter as very few people will turn down a hearty meal and live entertainment during these bitter months.

Whether it be February or April, the chef school and the theatre school will be teaming up to awe guests with their new and improved skills as a result of the school's reputation for hands-on learning.

The evening will begin at the school's student-run restaurant the Chef's House and then guests will head over to the Yonge Centre for the Performing Arts in the historic distillery district.

And with the most important ingrediant at chef school being learning, students are challenged with new menus daily. This means that guests are encouraged to come with an open mind and an open palate as every student strives to satisfy.

However, you don't have to be completely prepared for a night full of surprises as the performances are planned and most definately rehearsed.

So if winter activities have been a struggle, take some stress off and book your tickets now for a night of good food and entertainment.
