January Love Letter
Happy New Year! 2009 kicks off with my city in the deep freeze—it’s the middle of winter and it takes a lot to lure T.O.-dwellers out of hibernation. Fortunately, the Fringe Festival’s Next Stage Theatre Festival (fringetoronto.com/nstf) in the second week of January has a bevy of productions, including two from Fringe ‘08 fame that I’d like to see: Reesor, which examines the disappearance of a small Mennonite town and Solid State Breakdance, explaining trust and gender roles through traditional and contemporary dance. On Jan. 26, Chinese New Year begins, a 15-day celebration in the three Chinatowns found in Toronto. The main locale, Spadina Avenue, will be the site of dragon dances, and hundreds of happy diners (including me) will be indulging in bbq duck, pork, and noodle dishes. As the month ends, the sixth annual Winter City Festival launches (toronto.ca), and my focus will be on Winterlicious, with over 150 dining establishments offering special prix fixe menus to encourage dining out with friends at old faves and the latest hot spots despite the wind chill and below-zero temps.
