The best dumplings in Toronto are all about the basics - getting that perfect marriage of consistency between the fillings and the wrapper, seasoning it just right and making them so that eating one (or a few) is never enough.

Here are the best dumplings in Toronto.

The Toronto building formerly known as the Trump International Hotel and Tower changed hands and it's been undergoing an extreme makeover as it transforms into the St. Regis Toronto.

Work crews removed the giant Trump sign from the top of the tower a couple of weeks back, but the name has now been wiped clean from street-level signage as well.

Along with this name change, the hotel and condo at Adelaide and Bay will undergo renovations, including in the lobby and guest rooms. InnVest, which has one of the largest hotel portfolios in the country, acquired the property late last month. 

While the place is being run as The Adelaide Hotel Toronto for now, its transformation into the St. Regis is slowly coming together.

We've already got the run down on some of the films coming to the Toronto International Film Festival this year, and now TIFF has announced its opening night screening.

Kicking off this year's movie extravaganza will be sports drama Borg/Mcenroe starring Shia LaBeouf, Sverrir Gudnason and Stellan Skarsgård.

Directed by Janus Metz, the movie tells the story of one of the tennis world's greatest rivalries. Metz previously directed Armadillo, an award-winning war documentary in 2010.

Tennis fans have a lot to look forward to at TIFF because along with Borg/Mcenroe, the Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris-directed Battle of the Sexes will make its international premiere.

It stars Emma Stone and Steve Carell and it's based on the 1973 match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs.

The opening night gala takes place at Roy Thompson Hall on September 7. TIFF runs from September 7 to 17. 

The long-standing West Queen West restaurant and bar The Beaconsfield closed earlier this year after the building was sold. But the corner spot at 1154 Queen St. W. will soon get a new lease on life.

That's because the Vancouver-based Donnelly Group bought the building and has taken over the space. It will be transforming it into Death and Taxes, a new pub.

The Donnelly Group has a bunch of pubs and barber shops in Vancouver. The hospitality company expanded into Toronto last year when it opened Belfast Love on King West. It also owns Barber & Co. on Ossington.

The CNE will debut a "new selfie-destination" when it returns to Toronto on August 18.

According to a news release from the Canadian National Exhibition, the annual fair will feature an illuminated eight-foot tall CNE sign complete with a maple leaf  by the Princess Margaret Fountain. Apparently it'll be an Instagram-worthy "selfie-hotspot." Start lining up now.

The Ex is always bittersweet because it marks the beginning of the end of the summer. When it arrives this year, it'll bring new attractions, such as an East Coast Kitchen Party (clearly Come From Away is super influential), a gaming garage and a nightly laser show, along with the big CNE sign.

This year's musical lineup includes a little bit more diversity than in 2016. Acts scheduled to play at the Bandshell stage include Burton Cumming, A Tribe Called Red, Dear Rouge, the Jason Roberts Band, the Sheepdogs, Chad Brownlee and singer-songwriter Kiefer Sutherland.

Other performances include an ice show starring legend Elvis Stojko, a parkour show and the always controversial air show.

The Ex runs from August 18 until September 4. 

The Drake Hotel just keeps expanding. Last month, it opened its giant new commissary space on Sterling Road, but its latest venture is a little bit smaller in scale. 

The incoming cafe and bar is called Mini Bar. It'll pop-up right beside Drake One Fifty at Adelaide and York in the Financial District.

Details remain sparse, but folks at the Drake say it'll feature coffee and pastries in the morning and booze in the evening. It's slated to open late this year. 

Toronto has seen some pretty great parties down by the lake so far this summer, but one such event took a violent turn this weekend.

A bystander captured an altercation between a party-goer and a security guard at Cabana Pool Bar on Sunday. The smartphone video appears to show a security guard punching a guest multiple times.

It's not clear what is being said on the video, or what exactly started the brawl, but according to CP24, a man interrupted the fight by throwing a cup of water at the security guard to get his attention.

Cabana Pool Bar hosts parties with international DJ guests every weekend throughout the summer. INK Entertainment, the company behind the venue, hasn't commented yet. 

The third annual WayHome Festival was noticeably smaller than its previous iterations. Despite a pared down event, attendees reveled in the sunshine and took advantage of the best weather we had this summer to dance and listen to music in the great outdoors.

Check out this photo gallery for all your Wayhome memories. 

WayHome 2017 wrapped up yesterday and attendees are probably still exhausted from the three day music festival at Burl's Creek Event Grounds in Oro-Medonte.

They're probably sharing that post-festival let down with fewer folks than usual because WayHome felt way smaller than it had in its freshman and sophomore editions. 

And indeed, organizers took away the tented WayBold stage this year, which effectively shrunk the event grounds. Last year's ferris wheel also disappeared.

 Corporate partner Coors Light replaced it with a hot air balloon that remained deflated for much of the weekend, which could've been an apt metaphor for the festival. 

The shrinkage was obvious on day one when lineups for the various food trucks on site were pretty much non-existent, even at dinnertime. Some vendors seemed a little apprehensive about how the weekend would go, especially since it's usually a boon for them.

By the end of Sunday, some said business had picked up, but as an attendee, you never had to wait for more than a few minutes to grab food. 

Where folks did have to wait, however, was in the queue for the Frank Ocean Blonded merch booth, which appeared on day three. Like every other Toronto pop-up, fans didn't mind standing around in the sun to get freshly pressed customized shirts.

As for the musical lineup, many expressed their displeasure with it when it was announced back in February. And indeed, it didn't have the same cache of names as previous bills with headliners Neil Young, Arcade Fire, the Killers and Kendrick Lamar.

Despite that, there were some incredible performances, especially from local artists like Allan Rayman, Pup, Jahkoy, the Darcys and Jazz Cartier - who literally finished his set by flying off the top of the Mustache Burger food truck. 

Pup's frontman Stefan Babcock also showed off his acrobatic skills by climbing the stage at one point during the band's set on day two.

Some of the best moments of the festival came when you could just chill out in the grass and listen to daytime sets at the WayAway stage, which was surrounded by trees. Acts like the soulful Rag and Bone Man, Houndmouth, Polica and Tanya Tagaq played there.

It was easy to dance at the WayBright stage, which saw the likes of Charles Bradley and Mitski as well as the Shins, Solange and Tegan and Sara. These three acts headlined there on days one, two and three, respectively.

Late nights were mainly about electronic music thanks to Justice and Marshmello. All day on Saturday, people were spotted wearing white buckets on their heads as they waited for the masked DJ to perform.

Highlights from the main, or WayHome, stage included Cage the Elephant, Vance Joy as well as headliners - Flume, Imagine Dragons and the most highly anticipated performance of the festival: Frank Ocean.

Despite being scaled back, the energetic crowds still seemed pleased with the weekend affair. However, WayHome organizers have yet to comment about whether the event will return for 2018 and have not confirmed how many people attended this year. 

Some estimates have pegged attendance around 15,000.

Yet, they auspiciously did not flash a save-the-date sign at the end of the festival, nor did they send out any emails or social media posts about next year - they did both in 2015 and 2016.

In looking at the demise of the Pemberton Music Festival in British Columbia, the Globe and Mail's Andrea Woo explored how the large-scale multi-day and multi-genre music festivals might not be sustainable anymore, especially in Canada with a weaker dollar.

Now, we'll have to wait and see whether folks find their way home next year. 

WayHome is now a wrap. And while attendance wasn't what it was in year's past, those who did make the trip to Burl's Creek outside of Barrie had a pretty good time. Along with music, of course, there's festival fashion and I couldn't resist rounding up some of my favourites.

There's a night market in Toronto this evening featuring food from some of the city's most popular restaurants. It's also the beginning of the Bicycle Music Festival Sunset Series, and there's a Harry Potter trivia night happening at the Lockhart. 

The patios with the best views in Toronto offer jaw-dropping vantages of some of our most iconic places. Whether it's staring placidly at Lake Ontario, gazing out over the twinkling metropolis, or taking in the sight of our almighty CN Tower, these are some of the most memorable patios you’ll ever hang out on.

Here are the patios with the best views in Toronto.

The One Eighty

51 floors up atop the Manulife Centre resides this lofty restaurant from which you can see all the way across the city clear to the lake. Nosh on elegant gnocchi or roasted Arctic chair or keep it a little more casual with tacos and ice cream.

The Chase

This Financial District seafood spot is the classiest place to unwind with a drink, some nourishment from the sea and an ultra-relaxing view of Toronto’s busy streets.

The Thompson Hotel

Stunning skyscraper views and stripy bench seats are what this King West hotel patio are all about, but technically it's hotel guests exclusively who are able to enjoy this lookout.

Murphy’s Law

This Beaches patio offers a view of the city that’s a little more serene than some of the more bumpin’ central spots. Satisfy your craving for a cold one under twinkly lights and umbrellas while taking in Toronto's east side.

Roof Lounge

On the 18th floor of the Park Hyatt at Bloor and Avenue, this is one of the best places in the city to get that coveted skyline with CN Tower selfie, mojito in hand.

The Yonge & Dundas location of Jack Astor's has a great patio for people watching. Photo by Jesse Milns.

Jack Astor’s Dundas Square

Views of Toronto’s busiest intersection can be taken in at this location of Jack Astor’s positioned several floors up. This makes it a super popular spot for taking in local parades, free concerts, and other events while chowing down on some familiar Jack’s pub grub.

Lavelle

This rooftop patio on King West is nothing short of dreamy with beautiful royal blue cabanas and an oblong pool with several depth levels. Take in cocktails and an upscale menu for brunch, lunch and dinner here.

Luma

The food is as beautiful as the view at this classy patio on King West, more on the ladies who lunch end of the spectrum than frat boy when it comes to atmosphere. An Oliver & Bonacini project, the location of this perch makes it perfect for people watching.

Goodman Pub

With a view of the lake, this is the perfect pit stop for an afternoon of strolling along Queen’s Quay or showing an out-of-towner some of Toronto’s sights. Order a pitcher of spiced sangria or “frosé” and see where the day takes you.

Amsterdam Brewhouse

This epic patio also on Queen’s Quay is like a year-round dock house, perfect for partying or relaxing with multiple levels, breathtaking views of the lake and Muskoka chairs for kicking back as you sample a flight of brews along with pork ribs or pretzels.

The latest batch of new restaurants in Toronto give us all kinds of new places to do just what Torontonians want to in summer: party, hang, eat and drink, especially outside.

Here are my picks for the top new restaurants in Toronto that opened in July.

Chula Taberna Mexicana

This fun Gerrard East joint used to be an Irish pub, and now it’s a multi-level Mexican tavern serving up margaritas, tons of tacos, ceviche, and larger plates of items like carne asada. Settle into a spot next to a sleek fireplace or order another drink from one of several tiki bars and let the fiesta begin.

Uncle Mikey’s

A Dundas West restaurant that used to be home to the Atlantic is serving up new takes on Korean fusion with such items as oxtail gnocchi, Jjajang orecchiette, and potato salada, along with a list of sake and soju options.

Alchemy Food and Drink

Food like chicken and latkes or crab cakes and brussel sprouts along with drinks like upscale craft beers and cocktails can be enjoyed at this College St. restaurant along with jazz and a patio.

Koek Koek

Aiming to serve the Yonge and Eglinton community with healthy food options that were also fun to eat in a place that’s fun to eat them, this charming restaurant and cafe is serving up toasts, bowls and cocktails, and is also preparing convenient dinners for delivery or pick-up.

Copetin

This new King East destination from chef Claudio Aprile has a range of spaces to suit your mood. An outside cantina area equipped with a Botanist gin bar serves grilled sandwiches, bar snacks are available at the lounge, and full dinners that pay homage to Toronto are served in the chill, elegant main dining room.

Godspeed Brewery

From one of the folks from beloved Dieu du Ciel!, this new brewpub in Little India is serving up their own inspired and elegant brews, currently accompanied by West Avenue Cider and Norman Hardie wine, as well as a menu of Japanese dishes like karaage and house pickled veggies.

King Taps

This Financial District newcomer is really tapping into what Torontonians want with a menu of eight pizzas (which are half price after 11 p.m.) and fifty beers on tap, though wine and cocktails are on offer too. Tacos, bowls, steaks and burgers also grace the menu.

Sud Forno

The new Yonge location of this Italian standby is serving up all the classics you know and love like their delectable pizza, sandwiches, pastries, and even chocolate-dipped gelato all in a breathtakingly designed space.

Sugo

A sly homage to traditional red sauce joints, this place is run by the folks next door The Emerson at Lansdowne and Bloor. Dishing out massive saucy meatballs, stuffed peppers, caprese salads made with fresh mozzarella and dripping sandwiches, make this your new lunch spot.

Broadview Hotel

A somewhat controversial reinvention of what was once epically rundown strip club Jilly’s, this place is aiming to win over hearts in a new way now with an epic rooftop bar serving upscale snacks like ceviche along with burgers and ribs to go with smart cocktails.

The Toronto International Film Festival's Midnight Madness series usually screens scary movies, but one film on this year's roster will horrify you by chronicling the back story behind one of the worst (or best?) movies ever made.

The James Franco-directed The Disaster Artist will have its world premiere here in Toronto.

The Disaster Artist looks at how TommyWiseau's now cult classic movie The Room came together. It's based on a non-fiction book by Greg Sesteros, who played Mark in the original film.

Since it came out in 2003, The Room has become something of a cult classic, with screenings happening at indie theatres across North America, including here in Toronto.

The Disaster Artist, which also features Seth Rogen, Dave Franco, Zac Efron, Josh Hutcherson and Sharon Stone, had its work in progress premiere earlier this year at South by Southwest. 

Midnight Madness has a new programmer this year. Peter Kuplowsky secured a lineup that also includes:

• Bodied, dir: Joseph Kahn (USA, World Premiere)
• Brawl in Cell Block 99, dir: S. Craig Zahler (USA, North American Premiere)
• The Crescent, dir: Seth A. Smith (Canada World Premiere)
• Downrange, dir: Ryuhei Kitamura (USA World Premiere)
• Great Choice, dir: Robin Comisar (USA, Canadian Premiere)
• Let the Corpses, dir: Tan Hélène Cattet, Bruno Forzani (Belgium/France, North American Premiere)
• Mom and Dad, dir: Brian Taylor (USA, World Premiere)
• Revenge, dir: Coralie Fargeat (France, World Premiere)
• The Ritual, dir: David Bruckner (UK, World Premiere)
• Vampire Clay, dir: Sôichi Umezawa (Japan, World Premiere)

The internet was buzzing with news of a violent altercation between party-goers and security at Cabana Pool Bar this past weekend, and now a second video has surfaced. 

In a statement from INK Entertainment released yesterday, the hospitality group says it's cooperating with police to help understand the context of the violence.

According to CTV, the entire situation is now officially under police investigation.

Police are reviewing the video clips, but no charges have been laid yet. 

Fans of traditional brick houses in Toronto will like this recently listed heritage home in Cabbagetown. It has an ideal blend of historical character and modern amenities, which gives the property both cultural cachet and comfort. 

While the footprint is narrow, there's actually quite a bit of space here with four bedrooms (right now one serves as a second living room). None of the rooms are particularly large, but the master bedroom easily suits the king-sized bed that's in the listing photos.

The main floor living and dining rooms look a bit bland here, but I suspect that's just a matter of the blank walls. A little art would go a long way towards finishing the look, which is already quite promising. It's just missing a touch of polish. 

Perhaps the nicest modern addition to this home is the rooftop deck, which more than makes up for the relatively small size of the master bedroom. This is a picturesque urban retreat that would be great for entertaining or just lounging with a book on a weekend morning.

Specs

• Address: 334 Wellesley St. E.
• Price: $1,878,000
• Lot Size: 18.79 x 80 feet
• Bedrooms: 4 + 1
• Bathrooms: 3
• Parking: 2
• Walk Score: 91
• Transit Score: 98
• Listing agent: Cameron John Weir
• Listing ID: C3882282

Good For

Someone who likes the idea of living in an old home. As modern as the interior is, there's plenty of the original character on display here. You'd imagine the potential buyer to be someone who's done very well in the cultural sector.

Move On If

You want a new build with a bigger lot. The backyard here is cute, but it's certainly on the small side. You can get more space at this price point outside of Cabbagetown.

Get ready to party amidst some of Toronto's best street art this August long weekend when Rush Lane - otherwise known as Graffiti Alley - hosts a mini-street festival.

The Layers of Rush Lane party will take over the laneways bordered by Queen, Richmond, Augusta and Portland on Sunday, August 6 from 2 to 8 p.m.

**Party in #Toronto's famed #GraffitiAlley Aug 6** Join us for Layers of #RushLane ft. beer, live music, art +more https://t.co/Z5hx4svazwpic.twitter.com/mpo0QzHv2E

— The Laneway Project (@lanewayproject) July 13, 2017

Co-hosts The Laneway Project and The Queen West BIA say to expect live music, DJs, waste bin mural painting, a record swap, VR demonstrations and of course, wine, beer and food. Don't forget to bring your camera.

Toronto's retro-style bowling alleys have all but disappeared. The old Shamrock Bowl at 280 Coxwell Ave. has been sitting empty for a number of years now, but it's finally up for lease.

A real estate listing says this 10,000 square foot space is available and yes, all of its bowling alleys seem to be intact. A Goodlife Fitness takes up the other half of the building. 

"Join the movement to the revitalized east end of Toronto. Join the brew-pubs and boutique retail and gain value in the hottest up and coming area of Toronto, " reads the listing.

"Vintage bowling alley ready for office conversion. Affordable opportunity for a creative group with vision."

Just imagine what might end up here. A tech-focused company housed in refurbished bowling alley, up the street from a new craft brewery doesn't sound cliche at all. 

If you regularly down double doubles, you might notice something different when you stop at Tim Hortons tomorrow morning.

That's because starting on August 2, Tim Hortons will reportedly be raising its prices on some hot beverage and breakfast menu items.

@TimHortons is raising some of their prices does that mean they're gonna raise the quality too or is it still gonna taste like burnt water

— Bex 👸🏼 (@Bee_4492) July 31, 2017

Some have spotted notes beside cash registers that say these slight increases are due to "rising operational costs." Tims has yet to announce a list of affected products.

A post shared by Matthew Hurst (@thematthewhurst) on Aug 1, 2017 at 3:32am PDT

Loyal and not-so-loyal coffee drinkers have taken to Twitter to share their outrage and to joke about the potential price hike. 

PSA: Prices at Tim Hortons will be increasing starting tomorrow, but it's not the employees fault so don't yell at us for it!!!!! :)

— meg (@_megannrussell) August 1, 2017

Don't be surprised if you have to fork over a bit more change at Timmies tomorrow.
