Yuuuuuck:

Mon. Nov. 30, 7-8:30 pm, Brunswick House, 481 Bloor W.
Goodbye Brunswick House, Hello Boston Pizza?
For many years, the operations of the Brunswick House at 481 Bloor St. W. have been a source of late-night disruption. The owner of the building has terminated their lease, and as of Dec. 31 the Brunswick House will remain only on a month-by-month basis until a new tenant is found.

Boston Pizza is interested in signing a long-term lease for the ground floor, but its plans require a patio. Before proceeding, the company wishes to know whether the neighbouring community would be supportive of a patio. To that end, you are invited to a public meeting to hear from company representatives and the building’s owner, and to ask them questions.

Neither HVRA nor the Annex Residents’ Association (which are co-sponsoring the meeting) has taken a position on this matter. Both organizations want to hear what neighbours think. We hope you can join the discussion on Nov. 30.

Yuuuuuck

I have no nostalgia for the Brunswick House (mind you, I didn't do undergrad at UofT). But I can understand the disappointment of Annex denizens upon realizing that the replacement might be ... Boston Pizza.

Yuuuuuck, indeed.

Yuck! But not at all surprising. Watch out Annex the chains are coming!

Just some small time news for those in and around North York.

- The SOFRA restaurant at Yonge St/Elmwood Ave. is no more.
- Coffee Time at Sheppard Avenue E./Willowdale Ave. is a goner.
- Burger Hut at Sheppard Avenue E/Blue Ridge Rd. is no more - it's turning into Shater Abbas Restaurant (they have a location in Vaughan which is pretty popular)

Pastizza is now closed as of a few days ago, corner of Market Street and Esplanade. New restaurant, a lot of money went into building the corner. I heard the same owners are simply re-theming. It's now Cresta Toronto: http://www.crestato.ca/

Canoe prices, including a $29 pizza. Good luck to them!

He's also had some issues as of late. I believe a couple of his restaurants have closed in the past year or so.

Yes! The posted that a couple of weeks ago on Facebook - great news. Apparently aiming to open in February.

Seven Grams cafe is being replaced with 5elements, another cafe. I heard they were forced out.

Caffee Artigano on Yonge @ King has closed. Too bad!

The Brunswick House would've made a great spot for a brewpub. Add in the fact so many UofT grads know of the brand would make "Brunswick House Ale" a topseller in the craft beer market across Canada.
