Breakfast was delicious much to my pleasure as I had read some rather iffy reviews on several sites such as Chowhound.
This toronto blog did a review with some interior photos.
I had the Eggs Beatrice and John had fried eggs, hash browns, peameal bacon.
It is a very cute 50ish diner with antique telelvisions mounted over the counter.
The we took a leisurely walk around the neighbourhood.
On a spur of the moment we decided to take the car home and buy a day pass for us both at $10 in total. We took the subway to Union Station and then walked to the Waterfront to see The Tall Ships that are in town until tomorrow. What a sight!!
Grabbed a streetcar back to Union and subwayed it to Yonge and Bloor for the Pride Dyke Parade. What a difference a week makes! This time last Saturday in the same spot G20 protesters and hooligans were destroying property and police were wearing full battle gear. Today we got a chuckle out of the female police officer on her bike with her rainbow socks on - definitely not standard uniform nor was last week's outfits.
It was the first time we attended this parade, tomorrow is the large gay parade, and everyone had a good time. With this kind of weather who wouldn't be enjoying themselves?
Strolled down Yonge St which was closed to traffic due to the parade and dropped into the Elephant and Castle for a beer, some chicken wings and dried ribs.
Over to Dundas Square for some more photo ops. One of the best t-shirts I saw at the parade said "Don we now our gay apparel".
Back on the subway to Chester to stop at Alex's Cheese shop for some cheese for dinner. Then a stop at the fruit stand and into Sun Valley for bread to go with the cheese. Ended up also getting more fruit, some lamb chops for tomorrow and hot Italian sausages.
Funny food sign about our food being better than your mother's; that breakfast looks FAB! I love tee shirt sayings!
