007 Cocktails: A Night at Luma Lounge (0)

January 19, 2013 • Lounging, Toronto

There may not be much time left. Like the laser edging closer to 007′s crotch as Bond lay strapped to Goldfinger’s steel table, the cocktail list at Luma is bound to change. While my recent visit to the TiFF Bell Lightbox exhibit: Designing 007 was a bit of a flop, the post exhibit drinks at… Read More ›

The Spy Who Loved Toronto (1)

You’d think James Bond would get a better reception his second time around in Toronto. Yes, it’s a not-very-well known fact that James Bond once paid a visit to the Queen’s City. It was in Ian Fleming’s The Spy Who Loved Me, and unlike the movie by the same name (which has no connection whatsoever… Read More ›
