I am a huge fan of Turkish cuisine and one day soon I hope to make it to Turkey where I can taste the REAL deal. In the mean time I’m always on the hunt for a good Turkish restaurant and it’s been a challenge in Toronto so I was very curious to check out

Every time we visit a new place one our favourite ways to get a quick lay of the land is by taking a bus or boat tour through the city on our first day. Why? Simply because we get to see all the main landmarks and then decide which ones we want to visit and

We’ve been silent and I apologize…we took a much needed holiday, but we’re back after five glorious days in New York City. We had a couple options on how to get to the big apple but we decided that flying Porter Toronto to Newark was our best bet. As you know, we love our Porter
