pockets of polly: I CraveTO!

Today was an exhausting but adventure-filled day! I met Jasmine at Dundas Square and we decided to walk all the way to the food event CraveTO that was near St. Clair West Station. It took us an hour and a half to get there. To be honest, I was really surprised that we actually walked all the way from downtown to midtown. The sun was beating down so intensely today but that's alright because the walk was super nice! On our way there, I fell in love with the area. It was quiet and peaceful, the residential areas were relatively older but the shops and cafés were super cute and different.

On our way to CraveTO, we were dying from thirst and so we spontaneously went into this building. I forgot the name of the place but they were preparing for teaching a culinary class! The kitchen was super cute as you can see in the picture. It would be so cute if I could have a kitchen like that in my house. I ordered an iced chai latte and then we were back on our trek to the event!

After a bit, we finally arrived at the venue. It was smaller than I expected but I loved the patio-themed festival! There were about 20 vendors selling things from perogies to beer to ice cream! The food wasn't spectacular but it was good enough. It was just really relaxing to eat outside on the grass on a sunny day. We got there around 6 PM and there weren't that many people. But people started to trickle in after a while and it was nearly packed when we left!

Many people sat on the grass. The DJ played some light music and it was one of the most relaxing evenings I've had in a while.

Tis me and Jasmine.

The first thing we tried were the cupcakes! I forget the name of all of them but there were 4 and they were so cute! My favourite was the one with a piece of bacon on the top. Then we had something called The Goods. It was fried brussel sprouts that were barbeque-flavoured. It was definitely interesting.

This was one of my favourites! It was Beer Flavoured ice cream sandwich from Sweet Sammies. We also tried to Banana and Peanut Butter ice cream sandwich which was pretty good as well!
