There isn't a moment that has gone by this summer that I haven't thought about lounging in the sun, with good friends, great food, summer time drinks (sangria is a scene stealer every time) on some of the best patios in the city. Lucky for us, Toronto is packed FULL of some amazing spots to chill out and make great summer memories. With that said, check out the latest list of 2011 Best Summer Patios:
ULTRA
314 Queen West, at Peter, 416-263-0330, ultratoronto.com
A 250-person roof top patio complete with white sofas and cascading white tents is known for their Signature Ultra Cosmos, and the most divine after work crowd that just loves the ambiance of the city.
REPOSADO
136 Ossington, at Argyle, 416-532-6474, reposadobar.com
Dedicated to the most fantastic mexican fire water in the city (tequila to the common folk)
40 different brands, and a TIKI bar! Too fantastic for words!
ROOF LOUNGE
4 Avenue Rd, at Bloor West, 416-924-5471, parktoronto.hyatt.com
The roof top of the Park Hyatt has the most beautiful views and the most etheral vintage setting in the city. Picture HBO's Mad Men meets Entourage, and you get the delicious Roof Lounge crowd.
CAFÉ CINQUECENTO
109 Atlantic, at Hanna, 416-539-9390, cafecinquecento.com
Liberty Village. Outdoor Wood Over. CN Tower Views. Yup, that's all I really need to say!
See you around the city!

It's finally come time for everyone to sit back and enjoy the first long weekend without disastrous weather, and horrible humidity! Now, while some of you may be escaping to the cottage to be eaten alive by bugs, and whatever else it is that happens up there, many of us will be living and loving the beautiful city of Toronto (bug free..YAY!) Now that this glorious weekend is here, we can finally get down to the events that will happening throughout the city. Depending on where you live, or what you're into, there are so many events/festivals/patios/bars/restaurants that you can be enjoying....
1. Thursday June 30th Pride Week
Pride week begins! Whether or not mister Ford chooses to weasel
his way back to the city for the festivities, although I'm
convinced that nobody really cares, the Pride celebrations are
always a great time! Join in on the festivities with tons of live
entertainment, amazing food and WHO DOESN'T LIKE A PARADE?
It Is Impossible.
2. Friday July 1st Dolce Social Ballroom & Jazz Festival
I might be biased because I'm a HUGE fan of their staff. However
the amazing patio, beautiful crowd, and even more AMAZING music
makes Dolce Social Ballroom hard to ignore in this city. Come
check it out on July 1st for special Canada Day Celebrations!
Not into the night club scene? No worries! Lucky for you there's
also the Toronto Jazz Festival that starts on Canada Day also. You
can hear the smooth sounds radiating even through subway stations!
My favorite spot in the city? Nawlins Jazz Bar at 299 King St
West.
LOVE IT!
3. Saturday July 2nd This Is London & Black Creek Summer Music Fest!
Rated among the best nightclubs in Toronto, This Is London offers
one of the best times spent in the city. Whether you begin your
night appreciating the beautiful ambiance and tons of beautiful
chandeliers, you'll leave appreciate the beautiful crowd and
