POV: You go on a @gusto54restaurantgroup food tour 🙌

When Juanita shared her favourite Gusto 54 Restaurant Group dishes during Rapid Fire, Dana and I knew we had to try them ourselves!

From Gusto 101’s iconic $1/oz wine pours and decadent Mafalde ai Funghi to Chubby’s Jamaican Kitchen serving bold, authentic cuisine like jerk chicken and curry goat, and finally, PAI Northern Thai Kitchen, where every dish feels like comfort food straight from Thailand—each stop offered something totally unique.

That’s what makes the Gusto 54 Restaurant Group so special. Their restaurants are as diverse as the city itself, with each one serving up unforgettable food, vibrant atmosphere, and warm hospitality authentically tailored to the community.

Catch Juanita’s episode to hear all about her top picks from the Gusto 54 group. Available on @youtube, @spotify and @applepodcasts —we’ll be back in the studio soon! 🎙️✨

Exploring 401 Richmond (@401richmond) during Nuit

Exploring 401 Richmond (@401richmond) during Nuit Blanche was truly unforgettable—pop-up exhibits, live performances, and thought-provoking installations filled the space, bringing the community together and lifting creative energy to new heights. 🌙✨

What makes 401 Richmond special is how it thrives as a “village in a box”—a dynamic creative hub where artists, entrepreneurs, and commerce converge, all inspired by Margie Zeidler’s visionary approach.

Margie drew from Jane Jacobs’ belief in the power of diversity, shaping a space that’s about more than just art—it’s a vibrant, supportive community that reflects the spirit of the city. 🎨🌆

@401richmond is a must-see! Stay tuned as we continue exploring Toronto’s incredible spaces!

When @todotoronto x @to_downtowntoronto hosted a Nuit Blanche Art Crawl, you know Dana and I had to join! 🎨✨

The Engage Art app brought each piece to life with audio, AR, and all the interactive elements you didn’t know you needed.

🎶 First up: The CBC Building and bronze sculpture, Glenn.

🌆 Next stop: ‘The Poet, Fever Hospital,’ capturing Toronto’s ever-evolving cityscape. Public art like this connects us to the city’s journey and fuels our cultural economy.

🏛️ Final location: 401 Richmond (@401richmond). It was buzzing inside and out with Nuit Blanche installations.

Public art is more than just beautiful – it’s vital to our city’s soul and identity. If you haven’t discovered the @to_downtownwest ArtWalk Experience yet, grab a friend, download the Engage Art app, and dive in!

Catch more about public art’s impact on our city in my convo with Kelly Langgard (@kellylanggard) in episode two of @table6ixpodcast.

Back in the streets with @table6ixpodcast! Laurie

Back in the streets with @table6ixpodcast!

Laurie (@lauriejweir) and I hit up Waterworks Food Hall (@waterworksto) on a mission to explore more of downtown Toronto’s awesome food scene. Here’s the lineup ⤵️

🍸 We started with cocktails at @civwrksto — did you know the whole 55,000 ft. space is licensed? It’s so chic and really makes it feel like you’re in a European food hall.

🍕 Then it was all about the food: a slice from @pizzeria.popolo and flavour-packed Vietnamese street bites from the @vit.beo.to pop-up. There are always new options to try and discover at Waterworks.

🍦🛍️ To cap off our night, we couldn’t resist stocking up on treats from @scoopedbydemetres and @couragecookies.to — I might’ve gone a little overboard on the ice cream (it’s impossible to choose just one!)

Waterworks also has private dining areas and a speak easy bar for those looking for more intimate spots (also great for date night!)

Stick with us as we share more downtown Toronto can’t-miss experiences. Stay tuned for our next stop! 🎙️👟

@table6ixpodcast is hitting the streets! 🎙️🏙️

Laurie here! Dana (@danaduncanson) and I swapped the studio for an adventure at The Well (@thewell_to) — and let me tell you, we found all the essentials. From shops to sweets, here’s how we spent our ideal day ⤵️

☕ Kickstarted with a caffeine fix from @demellocoffee.
👟 Dana had to shop first—@groovyshoestoronto was calling his name (this guy’s got a serious shoe game).
🛋️ Design geeks at heart, we couldn’t skip @designrepublicto.
🎨 Stopped to take in Emergence, the gorgeous sculpture by Dustin Yellin (@dustinyellin).
🌮 Refueled at The Wellington Market with @rosiesburgers viral pumpkin crumble + tacos from @gustacos.to.
🍪 Wrapped up with dessert (@bigfatcookies_ for me), and Dana made friends with the cutest pup!

@thewell_to, you’ve got it all — memories, flavours, and finds! Stick around to see where we’re headed next!
