Burgershoppe Quality Meats & The Red Light



"Thirsty Thursday"!

The weekend couldn’t come soon enough- and last night was a randomly inspired night out. I had dinner at Burgershoppe Quality Meats on Ossington Ave and the food was delish! The menu had many options for prime cut steaks, burgers, sandwiches, poutines and beer. (Our waitress even suggested their famous homemade mac-and-cheese). If you’re looking for a nice place to sit outside, they have a great patio on Rolyat Street too!



Later in the evening, I was able to go into another new place on Dundas West called The Red Light. It’s a small intimate bar decorated in dark reds and golds featuring guest DJs that play everything from Bollywood to Reggae. Reading up about it on Toronto.com they state, “The décor evokes a French bordello, with upholstered couches and vintage lamps flanked by old paintings of landscapes and saucy women with bedroom eyes”. It really was a great place to visit! I highly recommend it! 



Goodbye Prince William & Kate!

The news has been keeping it’s eye on the royal couple as they crossed Canada on their first official royal visit as husband and wife. They showed their final day at the Calgary Stampede this afternoon and I must say it was nice to see all this coverage! They are now off to the US where they will land in California! I hope they enjoy the US as much as they seemed to enjoy everything they did in Canada! 

I really enjoyed watching this royal tour and the festivities with the Calgary Stampede. I have traveled to Calgary before (briefly) but I never knew exactly what went into this event. For instance, I had no idea that little kids train on sheep when they first get into the sport of one day riding an actual bull! It was really quite a cute site to see! One day I would like to put on a cowboy hat and go see the Stampede up close and in person!
