News Release

July 17, 2017

St. Lawrence Market's Summer Series returns later this week for a second season of patio events

The St. Lawrence Market patio will be transformed into a downtown oasis of food, drink, music, performance and celebration on two evenings this summer, with patio events from 6 to 10 p.m.on Thursday, July 20 and Thursday, August 24.

The return of the St. Lawrence Market Summer Series, presented in partnership with award-winning Toronto-based catering and events company The Food Dudes, will bring together the market's merchants and great chefs, musicians and artists for two perfect summer nights out. The first of the two events will be held this Thursday – and tickets are going fast.

Summer Series tickets can be purchased at http://www.stlawrencemarket.com or directly through EventBrite at http://bit.ly/2u14ACB. General admission tickets are $30 (plus taxes and fees) and include two food tickets for use at the event. Drink tickets and additional food tickets will be available for purchase at the two events.

This innovative production merges cuisine and art in an iconic setting to create an unforgettable evening. It was this inventive spirit and vibrant atmosphere that led to the 2016 edition being nominated for a Canadian Special Event Industry Award for best public entertainment event or festival. The event team and participating market merchants are again showcasing fresh ways to experience St. Lawrence Market in the summer.

Lindsay Klein of The Food Dudes has expressed her enthusiasm for the 2017 edition of the Summer Series, commenting that the two special events will give people the opportunity to experience the market's large patios and fresh, in-season food for two "deliciously memorable" summer evenings.

Menu items for this week's event include traditional Spanish paella, ceviche tostadas, smoked chicken quesadillas and fresh grapefruit frozen yogurt.

Organizers express their appreciation to Chair-man Mills and Sole Power Productions as Summer Series event sponsors.

But this a perfect location for a downtown Tim Hortons because it has a bike lane right out front where drivers can conveniently park their SUVs while they "run in just for a second" to get coffee. The exact same system works wonderfully for the Tim's a few blocks north at Richmond, and over in Corktown at King and River.
 
The St Lawrence Neighbourhood Assn and the local BIA fought this off about 18 months ago, Toronto Hydro are back again.

Right now in the St. Lawrence Neighbourhood Toronto Hydro is replacing low level pedestrian lighting with tall concrete poles and acorn lamps. The Esplanade has pedestrian friendly Victorian poles along one side of the street and ill-fitting, tall concrete poles being installed along the other side of the street.

You won't need to turn on lights in your suites as the glare from tall street lights will do the job for you! This destruction of our streetscape is happening right now and we urge you to contact the following councillors and the City of Toronto's Deputy City Manager as soon as possible to make your concerns known:

Councillor Lucy Troisi: councillor_troisi@toronto.ca
Councillor Paul Ainslie: councillor_ainslie@toronto.ca
Deputy City Manager John Livey: john.livey@toronto.ca

Thank you.

Good Luck with Troisi - she seems to be vying for the most useless councillor title, as for the light pollution it seems to be a conspiracy to control the circadian rhythm of the masses.

So true. I can even see people leaving their cars in the gas station's bays as they run for a coffee too.

Luckily there is a fair amount of parking in the gas station that can be used for this. The gas station at Dundas and Church has a small tims in it and you never see anybody on Church or Dundas "running in quickly" as they can easily park in the gas station lot.
