Riverside Eats & Beats Streetfest This Past June 4, 2016

Riverside is a great area filled with charm, lovely red brick and solid buildings that included some pretty amazing shops and restaurants.

View from the parking lot!

We hit The Opera House for some grilled Greek tasty kabobs and salad with a bit of pita bread on the side. The patio outside was really nice, the day was so gorgeous and we were lucky to get a seat.

After lunch we decided to go for a stroll and happened upon a dessert place right out front the restaurant!

I had a yummy French donut called a Beignet that was filled with a vanilla cream. So soft and tasty! I split it with my husband to be good. lol I should have got the Nutella filled one too. Next time!

The beats part of the fest wasn't that apparent at first but later on there were about three live bands playing in an art shop, a pub and the street all spread out. I think they need more music next year coming from the streets. There were free hot dogs but the lines were massive so we passed because we wanted to see as much as we could.

I love Toronto's Graffiti art we have some of the best in the world. I have to add a Flickr album of all the gorgeous pictures of them I have taken so far.

There was a Riverside Art Fair Going On At The Same Time Too!

More pictures on my Flickr but I haven't grouped them into an album yet or if ever. Should all be sorted by June 4th date.

Visited The Wonderful Royal Ontario Museum / ROM

For two adults the general admission plus an exhibit came out to $87.00 taxes included so around $43.50 each but I felt it was well worth it. I've been to the ROM a couple times before and it keeps getting better! The only thing I would have changed is that we could photograph pieces in the exhibit. I do understand though because they want more people to come and don't want their treasures to be spoiled.

'Tis The Season For Giving To Those In Need

It's a must that I donate to some of my local charities this time of year so that some that are in need don't go without. Seems that some are a bit lost in gift giving to those that often have so much already, and it's usually for very expensive things, that they don't need either, so that those really in need continue to want for the littlest of things. I don't want to preach to anyone at all. To each his own. However, for myself, I like to give modest gifts this time of year to only a few people that I am close to, so that I can donate more. I already gave to the Daily Bread Food Bank and they had 3 lovely e cards that you can send as gifts to those that you wish to make the donation in the name of. The one I selected is above. It shows others that you haven't forgotten them at Christmas and hopefully they will follow your example. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Best to those kind people in 2015! Warmest Rega...

Niagara Falls, Ontario Power Plant & Floral Showhouse

I love Niagara Falls, both the Canadian and American sides. Not only do you have one of the natural wonders of the world but the is so much amazingness there too from attractions, to parks, to restaurants and much more! I'm so blessed to live only an hour and a half by car. This past time we specifically went to visit two attractions and the falls. First we went to see The Niagara Power Plant that includes the fabulous Tunnel where you can see the falls so close at a different vantage point. Then we went to the lovely Floral Showhouse too. We only went for the day. We then grabbed a burger at We The Fine (WTF) Burger and it was so good. I highly recommend it all! I've been going to Niagara since I was a baby! My parents loved going there too. They are originally from the South of Italy and everyone from there that visits Buffalo or Ontario or both makes it a point to visit Niagara Falls. They definitely aren't wrong! ...
