BlogTO listed their top new restaurants in a post today. The list is below:

• Grand Electric
• Khao San Road
• Barque Smokehouse
• Acadia
• Guu Sakabar
• Goods & Provisions
• Yours Truly
• County General
• Ortolan

BlogTO published an updated list of cheap eats on their blog. I was happy to see that Taqueria Burrito Bar made the list. I discovered this little gem in my neighborhood from my sister and go there quite often. The food is delicious and a full meal can be had for well under $10. My only complaint is that they do not open on the weekend but I understand given how slow that area is during that time. Check it out and the rest on BlogTO.

On the corner of Davenport and McMurrich (steps away from Yonge and Davenport) a new condo development is being prosposed. Sitting right beside the Florian, The Yorkville Condominiums will sit on the northwest corner.

Recently the developers got approval to add height to this building, resulting in the proposal in the photo.

We can always use more Starbucks. Most recent addition is the one inside Longo’s on the corner of Bloor and Church.
