on the evening menu had to be under $15 before taxes, tip, and wine. Taste
the cuisines of the world without leaving Toronto: Italy, Hungary, Poland,
the Ivory Coast, Chile, France, China, the Czech Republic, Portugal,
Vietnam, Iran, Peru, Thailand, Senegal, the West Indies, Israel, Korea,
and more. Plus bistros, deli, pubs, vegetarian, kosher, seafood, and

Grace O'Gorman, the star-bright aviatrix of Helen

wowed the world with stunts, solo long-distance flights, and other
record-breaking trips. Glamorous "Air Ace" Grace feels most at
home aloft, as opposed to down on Earth, in Toronto, with her husband.
That, along with her competitiveness and affinity for fame, is why she's
setting out to break the world flight endurance record. She teams up with
a young female flyer, Willa Briggs, to circle Toronto for 25 days in
August 1933.

claustrophobic clutch and to prove to his estranged father that he has
succeeded, he becomes convinced that his only ticket out of his dreadful
life is a chance to headline at the hottest comedy club in town.
