Toast Restaurant On Queen East, Toronto
The restaurant filled with vintage furniture and collectible form the owner.Looking straight into the kitchen, the old fridge beer cooler, the Goodwill store paintings and the furniture created the nice environment for brunch or dinner.
From the Toast web:
5 years ago, the owner of a soon-to-be-opened Queen East eatery read a Fran Lebowitz article slamming stupid restaurant names. Among the subjects of her disdain was a New York resto called Bonjour Croissant. If this were France, she posed, why would anyone want to eat in a place called Hello Toast?
And so the Toronto restaurateur christened his new spot just that. Half a decade and a new set of owners later, Toast is a renowned South Riverdale fixture. Toast has that worn-around-the-edges, laid-back comfort that feels more like Montreal than Toronto: exposed brick, slightly dim, with toast shapes stencilled haphazardly in gold on a black coloured ceiling. '50s-style chairs and tables fill the room. Eat on art, some tables have canvases mounted on top that feature the work of local artists. A top a bank teller's cage which serves as the bar is a collection of ancient toaster all signed by celebrities.
A brunch hot spot, Toast also features a lunch and dinner menu. Lunch combines our ever popular brunch items with a selection of fresh sandwiches and pastas. Dinner is a laid back elegance, with the room going upscale a notch featuring a menu that is a fusion of local and international cuisine. Nightly specials compliment the regular menu. Be sure and look for our holiday menus. They are always inspired!

Ideal Coffee On Ossington, Toronto - I
Girl sat on one of the many vintage chairs at Ideal Coffee.At i deal coffee our beans are carefully selected and roasted with the desire to return to the traditional, “old style” bakery or roasterie of the past, yet be able to still accommodate the demands of the 21st century consumers who want their Guatemalan Huehuetenango organic, bird friendly, co-operatively farmed coffee roasted to a dark french and poured in an eighteen second double shot espresso.
i deal coffee uses a system where we grade each of our coffee’s for its sustainability factor using four categories we feel contribute to an ideal world. These are; environmentally, socially, politically and economically.

Back View Of Toronto City Hall
In 1957, then Mayor Nathan Phillips convinced City Council to hold an international design competition for a new City Hall on the northwest corner of Queen and Bay. A total of 520 designs were received from 42 different countries.The winner of the competition was Finnish architect, Viljo Revell.
Because Mr. Revell was not registered as an architect in Canada, the Canadian firm John B. Parkin Associates assisted him with the City Hall project. Successors to that company still act as consultants on important architectural issues affecting the building.
Viljo Revell's design was divided into three main parts: the podium, the convex circular council chamber and two office towers of differing heights. The entire City Hall complex had a sculptural quality that would make it a striking landmark and ideal symbol of a growing city.
Construction commenced on November 7, 1961, and the building was opened on September 13, 1965 by Governor General Georges Vanier. The final cost of the new City Hall was approximately $31 million.
Tragically, Viljo Revell died of a heart attack 10 months prior to the opening ceremonies. He was 54.
