How the modern dance guru, whose company performs at Harbourfront this month, would spend a single perfect day. Toronto on ... By Amy Verner
The still-hot Ossington strip strikes again, this time kneeling before Mexico’s national ambrosia, tequila. A reclaimed stained glass window forms a stately display case for the 28 brands—with nary a sombrero or piñata in view to mar this neighbourhood hang’s understated western vibe. Forget the burning rotgut of your frat house past and come savour notes of vanilla, caramel and aged woods among a crowd that’s a more mature breed of Queen West hipster: still artsy, but a bit more flush. Weeknights mean a musical mix of everything from the Ramones to Loretta Lynn; on weekends, a nook by the front window doubles as a mini-stage for live jazz acts. For connoisseurs, tequila flights ($12–$31) compare three tipples built around age, brand or price.
