What do you mean I’m one of the year’s Best Dressed Canadians according to @globestyle ?! 🇨🇦 That’s part of the @globeandmail newspaper so it must be true! 😂❤️ 

Out in print in my homeland and online everywhere else 

Thank you @nadiapizzimenti for thinking of me and for your beautiful words ❤️

June in Toronto > SF > Toronto

Toronto’s precious summer is winding down and I’m about to spend the last moments of it back in SF. Here’s an ode to the month where I reconnected with friends, met a whole slew of new ones, and welcomed my first visitors to the city (Tali and later my sister). I revisited some of my old haunts, started to frequent some new ones, and really felt like I was able to start settling in to my cozy apartment. 

I had a few firsts - going to a Jays game, the National ballet, dance class, attending Electric Island, and finally owning tabis (thanks to Scott bringing me gifts of shoes and Le Beurre Bordier from Paris). We also celebrated my Auntie Yoly’s last day in the rehab facility she had spent the month at learning to walk at again and moving her into our house so we could take better care of her. 

Re-establishing one’s life at age 41 in a city you left as a child is by no means easy (especially when layered atop the responsibilities of caring for family) but I feel so grateful for the people and communities that have folded me in and made me feel right at home. All in all, a fruitful time split between my two homes.

How do you get the best recommendations? Head to the bar that everyone is talking about and talk to the bartender. We got all the insider spots from one of Toronto’s best, Mateo Cruz Tapias. Be sure to give his recs a try or head over to Bar Pompette for one of the most recommended Martinis in the city. Cheers!
