Louwana Creek

Shopping for workout clothes is not my favourite sport, but now that there’s a new boutique on Laurier West that caters to fashion-conscious fitness fans, I’ve been warming up to it.

Ristorante Beatrice

Last week, Ristorante Beatrice launched its garden-to-table lunch menu. For only $25, you can enjoy a 3-course market-fresh meal in a stunning setting. If you haven't been to their gorgeous terrace, then you really must go before the end of summer! I was excited to try it since I just moved into the neighbourhood. The tables ...
