Adventures with Oren and The Gladstone

This weekend our friend Oren visited from Ottawa, which meant a good excuse to get out and spend some money in our town. We covered some good ground and experienced some great little businesses. Larger versions of the photos are here.

On Friday our dinner club met up at a fabulous Greek restaurant on the Danforth called Ouzeri.

Saturday lunch at Caplanski's Delicatessen on College st. I certainly recommend the matzah ball soup and latkes.

This is James and Oren who helped us get to know some local watering holes. We also stopped off at C'est What on Front st., Pravda vodka bar on Wellington, and The Irish Embassy pub on Yonge st.

At the Gladstone Hotel on Queen, we visited the Come Up To My Room alternative design event. The artist-designed hotel rooms were open to the public for the event.

Art's Birthday at the Wychwood Barns

On January 17th, NAISA hosted a birthday celebration for art at the Artscape Wychwood Barns. We had a lot of fun, and a nice turn-out including many local families and artists. Here are a few pictures:
