The massive Snakes & Lattes College Street location opened last week in the old Andy Poolhall space. Yes, this means Snakes & Lagers has shut down. But there's still plenty to celebrate, because along with its sprawling new home, the board game cafe company will release its eponymous television show on Wednesday.

Snakes & Lattes "The Show," created by Drew Dafoe, is a web-based sitcom. It stars Toronto actors Jamie O'Connor and Troy Martin and it's set, of course, in a board game cafe.

The first two episodes will premiere Wednesday night at The Royal Cinema; the screening starts at 7 p.m., with refreshments at 6:30. It'll cost you $5, but you'll also get a tasting of Beau's All Natural Lug Tread beer. And, all proceeds will go to Start2Finish. For now, check out the trailer below.

The eleven days of TIFF 2015 offered an embarrassment of cinematic riches. I have never had a year at TIFF like this one: very little bad, a whole lot of great. That made creating a list of my favourite movies at TIFF a difficult challenge. But ultimately, some films stood out not only for the impact they had in a dark theatre, but for lingering in my mind long after.

Here are the 10 best movies I saw at TIFF 2015.

Into the Forest
Patricia Rozema's Into The Forest isn't without its issues. But it's a film that has continued to stick with me thanks to its wonderful lead performances, its visual beauty, its caring for its characters, and its rare take on the post-apocalypse as something that one has to choose to find hope in.

Sleeping Giant
A tremendous Canadian coming-of-age story, Sleeping Giant stood out not just for how well it portrayed the aimless days of teenagers in summertime, but also that turning point in our youths where the adult world intrudes and forces us to grow-up.

45 Years
There will be few better performances this year than Charlotte Rampling's in 45 Years. There will be few better final shots than 45 Years'. And there will plainly be few better movies than this wonderfully subtle, but devastating, look at long-term relationships and the question of whether we can every truly know our partner.

The Witch
The Witch is the best kind of horror movie. It's not just effective as an incredibly unsettling and eerie gothic story. It has has deeper things to say about the forces--whether supernatural, or within ourselves--that drive violence. It is, in other words, horror that is about something. That's not always easy to pull off. The Witch does.

Taxi
What's great about Taxi isn't just the pleasure of seeing Jafar Panahi play the mischievous, cinematic trickster with his pseudo-doc. It's that we know his mischief is one of dissent. Taxi is undoubtedly a fun movie, but it's nonetheless one with an important undercurrent stressing how vital it is to be able to access and create cinema.

Louder Than Bombs
Joachim Trier's Louder Than Bombs demonstrated what continues to elevate his work and endear itself to me: a deep understanding and empathetic lack of judgment for his characters and their struggles - even when they're being miserable, terrible people. It's a wonderfully directed, acted, and written film.

Sunset Song
Terence Davies' latest isn't just beautiful in its visuals, but in its story. The director somehow magically manages to take a very specific story and make it feel like you're watching all of life distilled and presented in front of you. Sunset Song's look at how life gives and it takes is something I'm still thinking a lot about.

Anomalisa
Charlie Kaufman has always had the ability to portray love, loneliness, and vulnerability in achingly real ways. Anomalisa is no exception. It wears its heart so openly and recognizably on its sleeve, that, as my heart perpetually ached, I found myself completely forgetting I was watching stop-motion puppets, not flesh-and-blood human beings.

Green Room
Jeremy Saulnier's follow-up to Blue Ruin is a thrilling master class in how to squeeze every drop of anxiety out of an audience and then release the built-up tension with delicious bursts of cathartic uber-violence. I'm sure I lost a few years of my life from the stress Green Room induced, and I still wanted to see it again the moment it was over.

Victoria
What's great about Victoria's 138-minute single shot is that it's not just a stunning technical accomplishment. It transcends gimmickry by blending seamlessly with its rollercoaster story that captures everything from the joys of late-night partying to the panic of bad decisions with unstoppable consequences.

As part of Cadillac Fairview Corporation Limited's corporate rebranding program, the Toronto Eaton Centre will soon be known as CF Toronto Eaton Centre. This move won't be relegated only to the downtown Toronto mall, rather all 20 of the company's Canadian shopping centres will get a CF in front of their names.

It's all part of a strategy, "to link the Corporation with a premium shopping experience in the minds of Canadian consumers over time," reads a company news release. Accordingly, Cadillac Fairview also tweaked its logo and tagline.

This, of course, isn't the first Toronto landmark to get an updated, corporate name. And if recent history is any indication, it'll take a long time to get this one to stick.

Will you be calling the Eaton Centre the CF Toronto Eaton Centre? Let us know in the comments.

During Friday's game against the Boston Red Sox, a Blue Jays fan somehow managed to rip a urinal off of a bathroom wall, essentially flooding parts of the Rogers Centre. The Globe and Mail's Cathal Kelly has already dubbed this stunning accomplishment Urinalgate.

It happened in the sixth inning when a drunken fan apparently fell asleep while taking a leak. Accordingly, police caught the suspect with his pants down, literally. As the game continued on, some took to Twitter, lamenting as parts of the 500-level filled up with water.

Some idiot pulled a urinal out of the wall at this @bluejays game and now it's a nightmare/flood in the 520s

— Emma (@emmaschuetz) September 19, 2015

This men's room mishap caused substantial damage, which according to Kelly, could cost the Rogers Centre "tens of thousands of dollars."

For the first time ever a food event took over the entirety of the Evergreen Brick Works, and in addition to a massive tasting pavilion, the weekend was packed with cooking classes led by celebrity chefs, demos, culinary competitions, cookbook signings, a farmers' market, harvest dinners, and more.

Check out the action in our photo gallery of the 2015 Food & Wine Festival.

It's survival of the fittest for restaurants in Toronto, and while summer was a great season for openings, there were more than a few establishments that went belly up. These longtime stalwarts and spectacularly short-lived eateries all suffered the same fate.

Here's a round-up of some high profile Toronto restaurants that closed this summer.

Fishbar
Fans of sustainable seafood on Ossington were left gutted when this restaurant came to an unceremonious end after a four year run. The restaurant closed at the end of June when the landlord locked the doors due to unpaid rent.

Crush Wine Bar
The longtime fixture on King West shuttered in June after an almost 13 year run. Often cited as one of the best wine bars in the city, it will missed - though rumour has it that Susur Lee is taking over the address.

The Atlantic
Not even a Million Dollar Review could keep Chef Nathan Isberg's unconventional eatery afloat. The restaurant operated on a pay-what-you-want model and had done away with booze - alas Isberg decided he was done with the restaurant game in mid August.

The Geraldine
Parkdale's dimly lit cocktail parlour dealt in classic libations including traditional absinthe service alongside plates of beef tartare, oysters Rockefeller and seafood towers. The restaurant closed in August just short of its two year anniversary.

Loire
The French bistro on Harbord has shown no signs of life in months. Owned by the same folks behind Le Kensington Bistro (also shuttered), the restaurant is dark and the phone number is disconnected.

Black Skirt
I had enjoyed several meals at this southern Italian restaurant on College St. but it seems that nonna retired back in July. I'll personally be mourning the white anchovy crostini and pasta studded with pistachios.

Destingo
This casual Italian eatery boasted one of the best street side patios on Queen West, but even this prime summertime attraction couldn't save it from going out of business.

Greek Street
"Closed for renovations" was posted on the door months ago, but now "for lease" signs confirm what we suspected. Greek Street joins similar short-lived establishments including The Greek and It's All GRK on Dundas East.

Pulp Kitchen Danforth
Pre-dating Toronto's current obsession with juice, this well established juice bar on the Danforth is an unexpected first casualty of over saturation.

Oh! Original Hotdogs
Open just a few weeks, then shuttered for failure to pay rent - we can't help but wonder if it's the influx of hot dog centric competition nearby or the fact that they introduced their product via a glory hole that caused this late-night counter's demise.

For five days, Toronto's Manifesto Festival celebrated hip hop culture and showcased both local and international talent. And, it closed out with Common Ground, a multi-disciplinary art show at the Super Wonder Gallery that largely focused on six of Toronto's most prolific Instagrammers.

"I would say it's naïve of anybody to not see the relevance of art online, especially on Instagram," says Manifesto's visual art director Ashley McKenzie-Barnes, who curated the show along with 1LOVETO for the 6ix x 6 Instagram portion.

The 6ix x 6 exhibition featured blown-up Instagram shots from six local photographers who post much of their work to the online platform. The photo below, by @soteeoh, was a clear nod to Toronto's Drake-inspired moniker.

Also on display were @bora.vs.bora's gritty and surreal-looking compilations, a @mr.jobeezy rooftop shot along with work from @jayscale, @tahaphoto and @ellenaturel, all of whom presented unique perspectives of Toronto.

With one side of the gallery dedicated mostly to Instagram photography, there was still plenty of space for other types of art work, including Aleks Bartosik's Iridescent Dome installation and performance piece located in the centre of the room. Patrons regularly surrounded the sculpture and interacted with it.

Artist and designer Eugene Paunil made a giant mask, appropriately called Toronto Bleu Jay. Mark "Kurupt" Stoddart also paid homage to Canadian sports with three pieces inspired by Donovan Bailey.

International artists also contributed to the show, most notably Taj Francis from Jamaica. Francis, who's inspired by reggae, Japanese manga, vintage vinyl and poster art, Baroque paintings and super flat pop aesthetics, not only created Manifesto Festival's poster art, but he also had a portrait series called Tenfold and an audio-video installation in the show.

Besides Francis, American artists Chidinma Dureke and Jamilla Okuboo also participated in the show.

Some striking paintings weren't even inside the gallery. To beckon passersby in off the street, three giant canvases by Benny Bing hung in Super Wonder's window.

Back inside, DJs James Redi and Jon Chetty provided the soundtrack. And, street art-inspired pieces by Francis Pratt stood nearby.

The name Common Ground, notes curator McKenzie-Barnes, brought the entire, multifaceted show together. "The Common Ground to this is art," she says. "It is the desire to create, it is the desire to share views and your outlooks and perspectives with the world and with the public. And that's what all of these have in common."

If you missed Common Ground last night, you can still catch it at Super Wonder Gallery until Thursday, September 24.

On Saturday, the Eglinton West neighbourhood got a new 1,200 square foot mural that throws a spotlight on Toronto's rich history with reggae music and culture.

Last year, Ward 15 Councillor Josh Colle helped rename the oft-overlooked roadway, at Eglinton and Oakwoods, Reggae Lane. Together with the public arts organization The STEPS Initiative and The Laneway Project, Toronto-based artist Adrian Hayles and a group of young painters created a massive outdoor mural to makeover the space.

To celebrate the new initiative, numerous reggae musicians, including Jay Douglas, performed. Accordingly, Douglas played an original song called Reggae Lane.

Along with the music, the event included food, such as mini patties, as well as cake cutting ceremony.

Heritage Toronto gave the laneway a historic plaque to commemorate Toronto's history as a reggae hotspot. Beyond the mural, the laneway is also undergoing a revitalization project that's funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation.

For now though, Toronto residents can enjoy the mural that pays homage to a distinct part of this city's culture.

Last week, Texas teen Ahmed Mohamed was arrested for bringing a homemade clock to school. In response, many members of the science and tech community rallied behind the 14-year-old maker, encouraging him to continue exploring these innovative fields.

Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield even invited Mohamed to Toronto for his Generator show at Massey Hall. While there's still no word on whether Mohamed will attend, another Toronto event is honouring him with a clock-making hackathon.

STEAMLabs, a community maker space that'll soon open up at Queen and Spadina, is bringing together people of all ages to make their own clocks in support of Mohamed as well as others who face discrimination and stereotyping.

They're holding the event, in conjunction with Hive Toronto and Story Planet and Intergalactic Travel Authority, at the Mozilla headquarters on Adelaide Street West.

This ticketed event is free and includes all materials. All the spots, however, are currently filled.

Drake has just opened a Toronto restaurant - and he's partnered with superstar chef Susur Lee on the venture. Fring's, at 455 King St. West near Spadina, opened tonight in the old Crush Wine Bar space.

While Drake and Susur have managed to keep details of the restaurant mostly under wraps, they have both teased about their collaboration on Instagram. A week ago Susur took to Instagram to announce his new project. Two days ago he posted a photo with graphics from Drake's Hotline Bling in the background.

Drake, for his part, shared his excitement for the opening, congratulating the chef along with sons Kai and Levi as well as best friend Angelo Ferraro.

Beyond the teasers, the duo have been notably secretive about the launch and have managed to keep the details of the restaurant - including info about tonight's opening party - closely guarded.

Most celebs show up fashionably late to an event. #Drake arrives early to assume his DJ role & greet party goers at #FringsToronto.

— Ally Dean (@AllyEDean) September 22, 2015

What we do know has largely leaked out on social media tonight - Drake apparently showed up early to DJ and there's been a steady crowd outside trying to talk their way in. We have Ally Dean from Hello! Canada to thank for the news that Will Smith's offspring, Jayden Smith, has been grooving "like a boss" on the dancefloor.

Well, #JaydenSmith just bumped into me at #FringsToronto. And now he's dancing like a boss. It's all in a day's work.

— Ally Dean (@AllyEDean) September 22, 2015

Serena Williams may or may not also be making an appearance.

Rumours swirl the #Drake has requested a mic (!) and #SerenaWilliams is en route to #FringsToronto. Camera phone at the ready, friends.

— Ally Dean (@AllyEDean) September 22, 2015

We'll post more details about the collaboration, menu and other details as we get them.

Forget the Junos. The Polaris Music Prize Gala is truly Canadian music's night to shine. Not without its fair share of controversy over the years (think Godspeed You Black Emperor), this year's edition brought us the much-discussed name-change debate of Calgary's Viet Cong (who have since decided to change it as soon as they agree on something).

The win went to Buffy Sainte-Marie, who at 74 years old becomes the oldest artist to receive the coveted prize for her arresting album, Power In The Blood. Owen Pallet introduced her as "Not the sound of an artist resting on her laurels." Undoubtedly the critics agreed. She gets wiser and bolder with age and the power of her message resonated with the capacity crowd, which erupted when the winning announcement was made.

Polaris doesn't always get everything right, but it was fortunate that Viet Cong didn't use the gala as a platform to reveal their name change (they stated their intentions this weekend), and there tends to be early consensus that Sainte-Marie is a most worthy winner of the 2015 edition of the prize, one which will see her receive $50,000.

What do you think? Did the jury get it right this year?

Riotfest's Toronto stop certainly did its best to swing with the big boys of the festival circuit, right down to achieving the rain-soaked mudfest status that festivals across the pond have been perfecting for decades. Marred by horrendous downpours that sidetracked a few sets on day one (Gwar, Eagles of Death Metal), the rain still wasn't enough to ruin the day.

Day two certainly made up for the soggy start with sunny skies and sunnier spirits. There was a bit of something for everyone, from veterans (Thurston Moore Band, Babes In Toyland, Motorhead) to emo-kids-turned-adults (Moneen, Alexisonfire) to hiphop heads (Jazz Cartier, Tyler The Creator, Wu Tang Clan) to nostalgia trips (Weezer, Rancid).

Check out all the action from Riot Fest 2015 in this photo gallery.

Buffy Sainte-Marie was the big winner at yesterday's Polaris Prize gala, taking home $50,000 in prize money for her latest album Power in the Blood. Other nominees also took to the stage to perform with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra (TSO).

Drake, on the other hand, who was nominated for If You're Reading This It's Too Late, was tied up in a collaboration of his own because he and Susur Lee opened their new King West restaurant Fring's last night. But that doesn't mean he was completely absent from the Polaris proceedings.

While the rapper may have been elsewhere, the TSO covered "Know Yourself," providing a haunting new take on the now quintessential Toronto track. Check out the the video below.

7 Relmar Road is an ultramodern dream home nestled in the luxurious Forest Hill Village. Constructed by the Mazenga Building Group - known for creating some of the city's swankiest residences - you'll find this house complete with all the bells and whistles.

In an area flanked by mega-mansions, builders have to do a lot to keep up with the Joneses - and the Mazenga Group has managed to surpass many of them. High ceilings, a private elevator, impeccably landscaped grounds and home gym are just a few of the features that make this residence worth the steep $3 million asking price.

With 3,000 square feet of space, it's not surprising that this estate touts more luxury features than your average downtown condo. The open concept house has enough greenery and breathing room to make you forget that you're smack in the centre of the country's largest metropolis.

SPECS

• Address: 7 Relmar Road
• Price: $2,985,000
• Lot Size: 21 x 131.5 FT
• Bedrooms: 3 + 1
• Bathrooms: 3.5
• Parking: 3
• Taxes: $10,079
• Walk Score: 84
• View the complete brochure at PaulJohnston.com

NOTABLE FEATURES

• Approx. 2,900 square feet
• Stunning skylight atrium
• Green roof
• Private elevator
• Lower level gym
• Wine Cellar
• Complete front and back landscaping

GOOD FOR

This pad is ideal for the affluent environmentalist. It sports green roofs on both the home and garage, which will reduce the carbon footprint of the homeowner while also helping to improve insulation. There's also plenty of natural light, courtesy of the oversized windows and skylight atrium, so you won't have to bother wasting electricity during the day.

MOVE ON IF

If you're not down to purchase Costco-sized boxes of Lysol wipes and Windex, then this is not the place for you. The home, though stunning, flaunts a ton of glass and light-coloured surfaces that are sure to look less than amazing when coated with even the thinnest layer of dust. The almost $3 million price tag also works against those who aren't receiving hefty paycheques (naturally).

Once a staple in the Annex, Dooney's is back on Bloor, granted it has relocated to a new address just east of Ossington. Even after a five year hiatus, the restaurant feels welcoming and familiar, not to mention the coffee machine, ownership, and regular clientele are all still the same.

Fall art shows in Toronto are big affairs. From the massive Art Toronto at the Convention Centre to the all-night art party Nuit Blanche, it's easy for city-dwellers to get their fill of large-scale contemporary exhibitions. But there are also plenty of smaller shows happening in galleries throughout the city if you need some downtime between each massive spectacle.

Here are the top 10 art shows happening this fall in Toronto.

Homegrown (July 25, 2015 - January 3, 2016, Aga Khan Museum)
While Homegrown opened this summer, fall would be an ideal time to check out this new(ish) gallery now that the Aga Khan park is finally here. Take in the powerful pieces from the Barjeel Art Foundation and later, enjoy an autumnal stroll through the expansive outdoor public space.

Sigillum (September 17 - October 10, Nicholas Metevier Gallery)
For Toronto-based artist Stephen Appleby-Barr's third solo exhibition at Metevier, he examines classical works at some of the world's most renowned galleries and museums. Stop by the show and explore how his original oil paintings subvert these traditional masterpieces.

past present FUTURE (September 18 - October 10, Erin Stump Projects)
Erin Stump Projects is part of the collection of galleries that have recently moved to Dupont Street. As the inaugural show in ESP's Dupont space, FUTURE is also the first exhibition in a three-part series co-curated by Kristin Weckworth and Erin Stump. Check out the new gallery and explore work by Maggie Groat, Fastwurms, Susy Oliveira, Katie Bethune-Leamen, Annie MacDonell and Cameron Lee.

Anne Collier (September 23, 2015 - January 10, 2016, AGO)
As part of the AGO's Year of Photography, the gallery is presenting American photographer Anne Collier's first major solo exhibition. The AGO will feature around 40 pieces of Collier's work -- which often looks at themes of voyeurism and plays with gender roles -- including some from her Woman with a Camera series.

Clandestine Chemistry (September 25 - October 17, Neubacher Shor Contemporary)
Neubacher Shor also moved northward from Queen West to Emerson Avenue. Clandestine Chemistry will serves as the grand opening for its new space and this group exhibition will feature work by Brad Tinmouth, Tough Guy Mountain, Dean Drever and Consortium of Thieves.

Nuit Blanche (October 3)
Love it or hate it, Nuit Blanche is celebrating its 10th birthday this year. While it seems like the all-night art event can't get any bigger, the upcoming celebration will feature a slew of international and local exhibitions, including JR's Inside Out project.

Abbas Akhavan: variations on a garden (September 12 - October 31, Mercer Union)
Iranian Canadian artist Abbas Akhavan is currently short-listed for the 2015 $100,000 Sobey Art Award. This solo exhibition features his sculptural installation Study for a Monument as well as Ghost, a video piece.

Feature Art Fair (October 22-25, Joey and Toby Tanenbaum Opera Centre)
This contemporary art fair is much smaller than the sprawling Art Toronto, which happens during the same weekend. With 30 galleries participating, you can expect to see representation from numerous Toronto spots including Clint Roenisch, Erin Stump Projects, Katzman Contemporary and the Stephen Bulger Gallery.

Art Toronto (October 23-26, Metro Toronto Convention Centre)
Art Toronto takes over the Metro Toronto Convention Centre for one weekend per year to present modern and contemporary art from around the world. For the 2015 edition, it's spotlighting Latin America with a curated section of galleries and projects from Mexico as well as South and Central America.

Andy Warhol: Stars of the Silver Screen (October 30, 2015 - January 24, 2016, TIFF Bell Lightbox)
As the second major Andy Warhol exhibition to roll through Toronto this year, this one will highlight Warhol's fixation on Hollywood and celebrity culture. It'll feature multi-disciplinary work including the pop artist's paintings, prints, photographs and of course, his films.
