n I got there yesterday at about noon the restaurants and bands were still setting up. Streets were closed all the path from Euclid to Shaw and everyone was going feverishly to prepare for the 3rd and final day of this year's Taste of Little Italy. All the major bars and restaurants had big screen TVs to beam the live Brazil-Australia World Cup mate to a heap of avid soccer fans.

Although the list is prevailed along pork and seafood, I opted as a light meal, combining a savoury avocado salad with fried plantains, one of my favourite vegetables. I had a perfect outlook from my little table at the skylight and caught a peep of 2 celebrities production a brief appearance: Jack Layton, allied NDP governor, and Olivia Chow, immediately a federal Member of Parliament. Toronto's foremost political power couple, made an outward aboard their bicycles at the street festival.
At almost 1:30 pm the melody started apt get going and right across from my lunch smudge a two-man band started to activity Latin tempi and flamenco.

A street festival always attracts interesting people. An older gentleman on a bike decorated with a tiger tail, a green plastic superhero adorning the handlebar and a tyrannosaurus rex made an appearance. Of way I had to talk to him. He said his name was Mickey, he's elderly now and he diagramed decorating his bike would be something to do in his retirement.
