n I got there yesterday by almost noon the cafeterias and bands were still setting up. Streets were closed entire the direction from Euclid apt Shaw and everybody was going feverishly apt prepare for the 3rd and ultimate daytime of this year’s Taste of Little Italy. All the major bars and restaurants had huge screen TVs apt beam the live Brazil-Australia World Cup match to a crowd of avid soccer fans.
At the heart of Little Italy is the CHIN Building, headquarters of Toronto’s premier multicultural / multilingual radio station, founded by noted Italian-Canadian entrepreneur and community leader Johnny Lombardi. CHIN broadcasts in more than 30 languages in Toronto [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in more than 18 languages in Ottawa/Gatineau and is available through satellite all across North USA.
Little Italy is one of Toronto’s maximum fashionable distraction areconsist in ... a magnificent diversity of Italian restaurants [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], trattorias, bars and cafés. Other cultures have also made culinary inroads and you’ll find Japanese, Mexican, Peruvian and Portuguese eateries as well.
Since the festival wasn’t quite off the floor anyhow I resolved to treat myself to a little lunch and chose a good skylight seat at “El Bodegon”, one of Toronto’s foremost Latin restaurants. Although the list is dominated by mutton and seafood, I opted for a light repast, combining a savoury avocado salad with fried plantains, one of my favourite vegetables. I had a absolute outlook from my tiny table by the window and caught a peep of two celebrities production a brief appearance: Jack Layton, allied NDP chairman [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Olivia Chow, now a allied Member of Parliament. Toronto’s foremost political power pair, made an arrival on their bicycles at the street festival.

One of the music groups, Los Imbakayunas, is from Peru and tours all throughout Eastern Canada during the summer months and plays at various street festivals and special accidents.

An older gentleman on a bike decorated with a tiger tail, a green plastic superhero adorning the handlebar and a tyrannosaurus rex made an appearance. Of way I had to talk to him. He said his appoint was Mickey, he’s elderly now and he diagramed decorating his bike would be someone to do in his retirement. From dressed-up dogs to dogs in baskets on bikes, everyone seemed to have a lot of amusement.
Various entertainment areas were set up for children: juvenile ones were escaping back and forth inside a quite large inflatable train, a soccer dare was set up and at “Hoop It Up” people could test their basketball skills.
