Festivals Galore; Negroni Week; Porzia's Cheap Date Wednesdays

TASTES OF T.O. - Even for the initiated, it's easy to mix up the festivals that share the words "taste" and "toronto." Here's how they're different. [The Grid]

SUMMER FESTS - Get ready for a summer full of road closures with food vendors for miles. From Etobicoke's Fusion of Taste, to Taste of the Danforth, and the Roncesvalles Polish Festival, either back up the car now and get out of town when it's still possible, or suit up and join the parties.
