I live right by Trinity Bellwoods Park, and I’d start my day with brunch at Swan (892 Queen St. W., 416-532‑0452). It’s small and intimate, and they have great omelette specials with excellent bread ($20). I would take my friend, the actor Kristen Thomson; she has year-old twin boys and could use a break. From there I’d go see Arthur Mendonça at his studio on Dufferin, where he’d fit me for a red A-line dress ($1,300). I wore one of his designs to the Gemini awards, and I think he’s world class. For lunch I’d go to Terroni (720 Queen St. W., 416-504-0320) for the Nizzarda ($9.50); it’s a salad with tuna, potatoes, egg, tomato, arugula and black olives, and it’s so satisfying. I know all the staff, so I’d go alone and just chat with my friend Cosimo Jr., who is one of the managers. After that, I’d see a matinée ($36) at Soul­pepper (55 Mill St., Bldg. 49, 416-866-8666). Kristen is in The Chairs—an absurdist piece by Eugene Ionesco—and I’m really curious to see what they do with it because it’s very difficult to interpret. Then there are a couple of things I’d like to pick up at Soundscapes (572 College St., 416-537-1620). Amy Millan, the vocalist from Stars, has a solo album out, Honey From the Tombs ($14). If I ever meet her, I must tell her how much I love her voice. Afterward, I would go to Pages (256 Queen St. W., 416-598-1447) for some books. I’ve been reading the memoirs of a woman named Karen Armstrong, who left a nunnery in the ’60s and wrote about her experience being back in the world and struggling with that crazy era. I was raised non-religious, so it’s really interesting to me, faith and how it changes and how people can decipher it in different ways. She’s written a few theological books I haven’t read yet, including A History of God ($24), which talks about Islam, dispelling a lot of myths we have in the West; and Judaism, which I know very little about; and Christianity, which I only know from what I learned in English lit. For dinner, I’d take 20 friends to Medieval Times (1 Canadian National Exhibition Place, 416-260-1234, $1,259). I’ve done this one time before; you eat ribs and chicken and potatoes with your hands. You wear a big bib and a crown on your head, and you root for your knight and laugh and laugh and scream and yell. It’s exciting to see what they do with the horses. To end the day, I’d have a private yacht take me and my friends around the harbour for a couple of hours (Gala Yachts, 416-866-8489, $3,500). We’d just tool around and drink lots of champagne ($1,000).
