Today in Toronto: The Holmes Brothers, An Evening of German Art Song

The Holmes Brothers: Three guys, more than 30 years—theirs is a well-honed, burnished sound, easing casually from blues to gospel, with the occasional country or rock dalliance underscoring how far they can take three-part harmony. Find out more >>

Lula Lounge Jam Nights: This place is a magnet for lovers of Latin-inflected jazz. Those who appreciate a hint of Peru or Mexico in their riffs can drop in after 10 p.m. on Wednesdays for the weekly jam. Find out more >>

An Evening of German Art Song: Young voices add a special sheen to all the Teutonic agonizing about love and death that’s standard lieder territory. Find out more >>

The Dundas West Guide: our 21 favourite places between Ossington and Lansdowne

The strip of Dundas West between Ossington and Lansdowne has not been immune to the wild gentrification going on directly south of it. New restaurants, stores and bars have been cropping up for the past couple of years (Red Canoe, a swank Canadiana shop, opened two weeks ago), but there is a hesitation in the ’hood to turn Little Portugal and Brockton Village into the next Ossington. Incoming business owners make a point of blending in with the long-standing family-owned bakeries, soccer bars and pho stops. Even in new establishments, the decor has a thrift shop feel, and the prices cater to locals rather than destination diners. From east to west, here are our 21 favourite Dundas West spots for cheap eats, good music and authentic Portuguese cuisine. By Karon Liu. Photos by Jenna Marie Wakani.

This weekend, West Queen West goes Cubano with the second annual Havana Cultura Festival. There will be music, cigar rolling and, most importantly, Cuban-inspired culinary experiences from 16 restaurants and bars along Ossington, Queen and Dundas. One unlikely participant this year is Poutini’s. For the first time since opening, they will be offering something other than their standard menu dish: a “Cuban-style frijole” poutine consisting of black beans, onions, garlic, peppers, tomato and herbs over fries, and topped with sour cream and cilantro (it’s traditionally served over rice). On Saturday night, the staff will be manning a booth across the street in order to serve the same frijole over a baked potato instead of fries.
