Let Me Take You To All Things “Dolce”……..On The Danforth!

The Danforth, also known as Greek Town, is an area in the east end, in the city of Toronto. It is a fascinating, ageless neighbourhood. Full of vibrant, eclectic energy. You’ll  find amazing restauranteurs and shop owners all having a story to share.  Everywhere I look I see interesting, beautiful faces. And the real estate is just as appealing as the people that live here.

The amazing architect dates back to the early 1900’s and was one of the major settlements for Greek immigrants. If you happen to be a visitor in our city don’t be surprised if you run into one proud Greek resident telling you that some of the scenes in the movie  “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” were actually filmed in their unforgettable neighbourhood.

While shopping at my favourite local fruit market I took the opportunity to stop by and gaze at the lovely gelato and sweets. One look, that’s all it took for my body to take its own direction. Needless to say I found myself waiting in line. All the sweets in the cafe were shouting my name so loudly I just couldn’t ignore them. And as if that wasn’t enough the intoxicating aroma of espresso and cappuccino ganged up on me. I didn’t stand a chance! Me against all these temptations, no way!

Dolce Cafe was a fabulous experience. I loved the fact that it was super busy because it gave my vacillating mind a chance to settle down and choose only one sweet. I was greeted by a warm beautiful smile. I placed my order with the person behind the counter. No guilty feelings here! She made it so easy for me to forfeit my willpower.

The raspberry chocolate cake was absolutely decadent! It was a sweet, deep, dark chocolate with layers of pink raspberry mousse and a side dollop of pure white cream. I did manage to enjoy a few exclusive bites before sharing the rest.

 

 

 

 

 

One of my favourite things to do on weekends is to enjoy a lovely cappuccino. And as you can see in the picture, my cappuccino was perfectly brewed.

 

 

Dolce Cafe deserves your presence and a tip…..

Cause like the sign says, tipping is sexy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Elton John Is Not The Only One Betwixt By Marilyn Monroe!

It seems we are too!

Last week while showing a condo at the Absolute Towers project I was intrigued by the shape and design of one of the buildings. The units come with spectacular and panoramic views.Ingenuity abounds and is evident even in the elevator which displays a screen with the largest numbers I’ve ever seen. It’s no wonder this project was nicknamed the Marilyn Monroe.

The woman and her legend continues to capture,inspire, motivate and actually demands us to write about her. Her presence lives on not only in pictures but in the hearts of all of us. Perhaps it was the combination of her beauty, her innocents and at times a tormented life that somehow managed to keep us betwixt and between all these years.

The Absolute Towers, in Mississauga were designed by Yansong Ma, a prominent Japanese architect and founder of Mad Architects. Fernbrook Homes were the developers of the project.

How this building came to be named after the famous actress seems to be a bit of a mystery. Perhaps it’s how she would have liked to be remembered. Like the building, beautiful and enigmatic.Who’d a thought real estate could be so sexy, huh?

If you are interested to learn more or purchase a unit in one of these buildings, give me a call…..
