Ed Mirvish passed away in 2007. What some may not know is that he was a big baal tzedakah, and was friendly with many in the frum community in Toronto.
Depending on the time of year, Yorkville at Bay and Bloor is a nice place for a walk, as is the area known as “The Beaches” east of downtown along Queen St. and the boardwalk.
There are a number of nice kosher restaurants in the city, but unfortunately, the classiest one, 398 West, recently closed its doors. Try Marron or Bistro Grande on Eglinton.
