These folks will help you get through the middle of winter.
Here’s the very latest:
Open:
1020 Gerrard St. E.
"Toronto’s only Chicago-style deep dish pizza" is now available on Gerrard near Jones.

2901 Bayview Ave.
EXLR opened Tuesday as a pop-up at Bayview Village.
Cold pressed organic juices and boosters couldn’t have arrived at a better time. Feeling the onset of a cold? Just getting over one? A turmeric or ginger booster will help set you right.

Diners receive 20% off until February 10.
