Contest: Win passes to Friday Night Live at the ROM
There are 8 instalments remaining of Friday Night Live @ ROM, a multimedia, after-hours party pairing one of Toronto's best-loved cultural institutions with the novelty of experiencing the ROM lit up and flooded by DJ beats. This week's event focuses on the theme of fashion, and celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Toronto Fashion Incubator by showcasing a trunk show from Harricana Fashion and a chat with Dare to Wear Love and Textile Museum curator Sarah Quinton. Also enjoy pop-up food from Fidel Gastro's and Waffle Bar and a performance by KwikFiks. Film
5 films to watch at the Toronto Jewish Film Festival 2012
The Toronto Jewish Film Festival is commemorating it's 20th anniversary with a fresh slew of films celebrating Jewish culture, politics, struggles, history and identity. Running May 3rd through the 13th, the festival will kick off just as Hot Docs comes to an end on the 5th, so your film fest spirit can stay alive a little longer. You can catch TJFF screenings at various venues across the city. Announcements

Just don't call it a gastropub.Read my review of the Saint in the restaurants section.
