Lunch Near Casa Loma?

Will be visiting Casa Loma next week and would like an intersting lunch either before or after our tour. What are your suggestions?

Local Eating Facts? (moved from Ontario)

On this same topic we in Minnesota have experienced damaging rains this past month as have other midwestern states. The following commentary appeared regarding the problems in revealed under the title of The Consequences of Organic farming.

It is an intersting addition to the discussion. For myself I just returned from my local farmers market with loads of local heirloom end of summer foods. My kitchen looks delightful. And two evenings ago ate at one of our outstanding creative resturaunts dedicated to local food Heartland.

To me the aesthetics of the foods and the artisans that produce them are reason enough. Everything need not be political. Indeed, politicizing distracts rather than enhances the core of the experience often as not.

Where to eat on Canadian Thanksgiving?

I am coming for a one week visit from Oct. 7-14. Aha! Take note Yank. Tis Turkey Day in the North on Oct 8. What will be open? What shall I eat? What hope is there for a visitor from Minnesota (yah, the big Turkey exporter) without family or friends to join. Will Chinatown be a possibility or are their other public experiences possible. I hesitate to fast from Sunday to Tuesday. Will be staying near the Harbor. Advise please.
