IDS 2012 Opening Night

The opening night party, held on the 26th at the MTCC, is one of those massive and classy events you don’t want to miss, brimming with Toronto’s creme de la creme of the creative community.
Now Open: Bar Neon
It opened just about a month ago, and since has wowed the Bloordale neighbourhood with its haute cocktails and delicious dishes. Bar Neon’s space is as eclectic as its name suggests, and chef Ivan Loubier’s flare in the kitchen is the perfect complement to this new watering hole. 1226 Bloor Street West.
