Yesterday we enjoyed some nice weather and spent the afternoon in the Distillery District.

First, a little brunch at Cluny (oysters to start; smoked salmon hashbrown w/ poached egg, horseradish crème fraîche, radish, cucumber, dill, and pickled pearl onion for me; sourdough croque madame w/ ham, gruyère, dijon aioli, pickled shallots, mornay sauce, frites, and fried egg for Lindsay; a bottle of Piper Heidsieck for us both).

Next up: a stop at the Toronto Pen Shoppe, which we just happened past, after which we left with several pens and notebooks, as is our wont.

We wrapped up with a quick coffee on the patio at Arvo.

Later in the year it’ll be so busy we won’t want to go, but for a spring afternoon, it was pretty great.
