New Toronto Raptors draft pick looks like he doesn't want to be in Toronto

1 day ago | blogto.com | Adam Laskaris

New Toronto Raptors player Collin Murray-Boyles sure made quite the impression on NBA Draft night. It just maybe wasn't the one Raptors fans were expecting. When the 6-foot-7 forward out of South Carolina was shown on the broadcast after the Raptors picked him at ninth overall, Murray-Boyles appeared to let out an expletive caught by the cameras.

Don Cherry might have officially wrapped up his media career. The 91-year-old Cherry had been running the Grapevine podcast with his son Tim since 2019, amassing a total of 313 episodes. But in a message shared to his social media on Monday, the longtime Hockey Night in Canada host announced that he's taken his last stab at speaking on the mic. "Don Cherry Says Goodbye in Final Podcast," a tweet from his account posted on Monday afternoon reads.

It was a big weekend for Toronto Raptors shooting guard Ochai Agbaji. The 25-year-old tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend, Avery Brandmeyer, in a beautiful ceremony on Saturday. This comes after the couple announced their engagement back in 2024. It seems like a number of his Raptors teammates were at the wedding, with Raptors star Gradey Dick posting a congrulatory message on his Instagram story. "Congrats, love you both," Dick wrote on the story.

If your idea of cottage life includes a private ski hill, horse stables, and a personal climbing wall, then I have just the listing for you. Located on a sprawling 56-acre parcel in the King Township countryside, 13570 7th Concession Rd. is a jaw-dropping estate straight out of a very luxurious Canadian fairytale. This rural paradise feels more like a resort than a single-family home. "This is such a special property," said listing agent Carolyn Scime.
Tiny Toronto house that could pass as a garden shed selling for $600K

5 days ago | blogto.com | Misha Gajewski

The last time 4 Lucy Ave. hit the market, it was listed as a two-bedroom, one-bathroom home — which already felt like a stretch for a house that clocks in at under 500 square feet. Still, it sold for $430,000 in 2019, a solid $30K over asking. Now it's back—this time with three bedrooms (somehow), the same one bathroom, and a new price tag of $599,888. You might assume they added an extension. They didn't. Maybe some sleek renovations? Nope.
Matcha slushies are a viral phenomenon in Toronto but do they live up to hype?

6 days ago | blogto.com | Phoebe Knight

The matcha slushies at one Toronto cafe have been taking the city by storm this season, but are they all they're cracked up to be? We decided to investigate. You know and love classic convenience store slushies, and west-enders in Toronto have been having a love affair with Bellwoods Brewery's Jelly King slushie for years now, but matcha slushies are the latest icy blended beverage taking the city by storm, and we have Brockton Village's Gateau Ghost to thank for that.
Toronto house featuring the famous 'Rodney the Tree' for sale at almost $3 million

6 days ago | blogto.com | Misha Gajewski

When Massey last sold in 2016, it was a garbage-filled shell of a home. But designer and builder Jamie Beurklian clearly saw potential in the early 1900s house. Since 2016, the home has been painstakingly transformed by Beurklian into a minimalist architectural marvel that's as practical as it is beautiful. And yes, it comes with its own local celebrity — Rodney the Tree. Let's start with the house.
Director of Pixar hits dishes up her top Toronto restaurants

Toronto director Domee Shi is a well-documented lover of the city, and she stopped by to share her favourite restaurants in town. While her latest film, Disney Pixar's Elio, doesn't take place in Toronto, Shi's filmography proves adequate evidence of her love for the city she grew up in, particularly seen in her last major feature, Turning Red, which was set in Toronto.
Toronto restaurant with Michelin nod opens offshoot for its famous burgers

1 week ago | blogto.com | Phoebe Knight

The team behind a Michelin-recommended Toronto restaurant just made an unexpected move: opening a new burger joint in the city. Names like Rasa and Sara — at least in the context of food — usually conjure up images of chic interiors, artfully plated dishes and pristine cocktails served in paper-thin crystal glasses. It's that exact commitment to refinement and luxury that has earned them both spots on Toronto's Michelin Guide, after all; Sara with a recommendation and Rasa with a Bib Gourmand.

Summerlicious 2025 is right around the corner for Toronto, bringing with it a crop of droolworthy deals to devour. Summer really creeps up on you, doesn't it?

It's also the time of year when Toronto's annual city-wide food festival, Summerlicious, kicks off.
