Readers’ Tips: New brunch spot & window decor showroom

by  • 

Happy to let the Bayview community know that Mirage Mediterranean Restaurant (1620 Bayview Ave), serving a combination of Persian, Turkish and Lebanese food, will open for lunch (not just dinner) beginning Thursday, May 9. Book now for Mother’s Day brunch! ~Laura

That’s great news Laura! There are now numerous brunch options on our favourite street — the 2024 patio season on Bayview is indeed going to be delicious. 🙂

Grand opening of Night & Day Window Decor‘s midtown showroom is happening on Friday, May 17th from 12 to 4pm. Night & Day Window Decor is Toronto’s consumer favourite source of custom blinds, shades and drapery with two more locations. We’ve taken over the 681 Mount Pleasant location from a previous window treatment business that was there for 30 years in 2022. In February this year, we’ve undergone a major update to showcase a brand new showroom experience. Please join us! ~Ana

On Saturday, April 20th, 2024, the Bayview Pixies hosted a seed giveaway to celebrate Earth Day (April 22nd). They were stationed outside of Epi Breads at Bayview & Millwood and gave out approximately 175 seed packs (that’s 4,000 potential plants). If only a quarter of them grow, then they will have added 1,000 native plants to the neighbourhood! That’s something!

They plan on doing another seed giveaway during the Bayview-Leaside BIA AppleFest (Saturday, October 19, 2024). Looking forward to it!
