Kyra Petticrew, a 33-year-old associate director at a tech company, bought her one-bedroom apartment in the Beaches in June of 2020. For $442,000, she snagged a 600-square-foot spot with parking, storage and an outdoor patio—but the space didn’t exactly align with her home decor preferences. So she transformed it, knocking out a wall, overhauling the kitchen and stocking up on vintage finds, all for under $7,000. |

| | Move over, Yorkville—there’s a new Eataly in town. The Italian grocer, known for its market-like set-up and in-store restaurants, first touched down in Yorkville five years ago with a sprawling, 50,000-square-foot flagship. Then, last year, a slightly smaller Eataly opened up in Sherway Gardens. The new Don Mills location, at 10,000 square feet, has a smaller footprint but plenty of the retailer’s charm. |

| | Since its first show in 1995, Budweiser Stage has been synonymous with summer and stars both celestial and musical. As the venue kicks off its 30th season, we asked Brendan Canning (and plenty of others) for their best, wildest, most indelible memories of the amphitheatre by the lake. “It really takes you back to being a teenager and going to big rock concerts,” he said. |
