If you stand in Riverdale Park at the corner of CarltoN you will see this lovely gardenWalk through Cabbagetown and discover stately  Victorian homes and quiet narrow lanes with small cottages and lush gardens.
Cabbagetown is a place where people take pride in living, and pride in friendliness and a bit of eccentricity, (where else might you find a working farm in the middle of a mega city, or a wacky kids' play being performed in the Necropolis chapel?) The Arts thrive in Cabbagetown as is evident at the large outdoor art show and sale during the yearly Cabbagetown Festival and the artists displayed at the "Here & Now Gallery".

Close to downtown Toronto,  Cabbagetown also offers tranquil walks in Riverdale Park, the Farm and along the Don River.

Cabbagetown is also a place of restaurants and cafés with fares from Mexico to New Zealand, France to India. A place of outdoor patios, on the street or hidden. The friendly pubs and bars are where locals meet, visitors find new friends and former Cabbagetowners stop by now and then to touch base with old friends. "Once a Cabbagetowner always a Cabbagetowner" is an oft heard phrase.

YOUR VALENTINE'S ALTERNATIVE IS

TORONTO, January 23, 2009 - If you love to laugh, you'll be super-sweet on No Sweetheart Required this February - a night of short and sassy comedies about love, or the lack thereof - presented Upstairs at Whistler's Grille and Cafe, 995 Broadview Avenue at Pottery Road, from February 10 - 14, 2009 at 8 p.m.

This is a budget-conscious way to celebrate Valentine's week - and you don't even NEED a Valentine to have fun at No Sweetheart Required. Bring your mother, your friend, your co-worker or even that special someone to an evening of short comedies that are good for the soul and easy on the wallet!

Plays featured this year include "The Tip", an hilarious piece by Kathryn Malek and featuring Dave Lapsley, the star of the Canadian theatrical hit, "Defending The Caveman". Other offerings include the witty "Encagement" directed by Nancy Bradshaw, the whimsical "One Wish" directed by MC Thompson and "Wallflower Maggie", a sweet look at the generation gap, directed by Blake Thorne. Also featured in this year's show are a one-woman presentation by comedienne June Morrow and a fabulous dance piece by Event Horizon Dance (Miranda Abbott and Libydo).

No Sweetheart Required is hosted by the ever-popular Liam Doherty, and features a powerhouse of talent including Brent Barkley, Hannah Barnett-Kemper, Irene Carl, Greg Corkum, Kanza Farris, Carol McLennan, David McLeod, June Morrow, Jen Pogue and Frank Tiefenback.
