Old’s Cool General Store ~ 250 Westlake Ave ~ (416) 425-9084
Convenience | Kindness | Community The Old’s Cool General Store recently popped-up on the NW corner of Westlake & Lumsden, deep in the heart of East York. Formerly D & K’s (originally a butcher shop in the ’50s owned by Greek brothers Demetri & Kostas, followed by a long run as a convenience store), this place is…
Pasha Authentic Turkish ~ 64 Overlea Blvd #10 ~ (416) 421-3500
I met-up with a fellow food blogger recently. She told me about a Turkish restaurant on Overlea that was a must try. Now, I absolutely love Turkish food.

We began exchanging stories, mostly about being new parents:) Anyways, the conversation meandered into the realms of food, and then local food. And though neither of us have lived in the hood…
