Fav Café + Bar located at 3000 Hwy 7 in Markham
August 27, 2018: Ever since I saw Fav Café pop up at the plaza at the intersection of Highway 7 and Woodbine, I was curious to check it out. At first, I thought this was a second outpost of the original Fav Café (which used to be at West Beaver Creek), but it appears that that original location has closed. Thus, there is only one Fav Café now once more. Continue reading

I had heard that Surely Up Vegetarian Hotpot had a conveyor belt Continue reading

The Capitol Theatre located at 20 Queen St in Port Hope
August 18, 2018: After a splendid dinner, we headed two minutes down the street in downtown Port Hope to the Cameco Capitol Arts Centre (Capitol Theatre) to watch a musical!

Thus, when I found out that Port Hope had its very own theatre and that a Disney classic was going to be on stage, I was extremely excited and looking forward to it. As a huge musical theatre fan, it was Continue reading
