Opening Soon
Dolce Gelato opening soon on the Danforth
The Danforth is about to get a bit more interesting. If news that Libretto was setting up shop in the east end wasn't enough, this week a sign went up in the old Kokkino space announcing Dolce Gelato's impending arrival to the neighbourhood. They couldn't have picked a better spot. Gelato options are dire on the Danforth with the closest decent place for the summer-time treat being the Leslieville location of Ed's Real Scoop.
No word yet on when Dolce will be opening its Danforth doors. But there's no rush given reports today that cold weather in this city might last longer than we'd like.

Danforth deserves something better.
Kokkino, The Myth, Pikilia, Euro Crepe Cafe, Bling (which didn't last long) and Iliada, have all closed. Frappe changed hands and Trapezzi seemed to have been closed but is since operational? Dunno what that was about.
I do believe Dolce and Pizzaiolo (moving in where Bling used to be) are going to be good additions. Also, word on the street is, The Friendly Greek is moving to where Pikilia was... excuse me for stating the obvious but your moving across the street... why?
Octavia was the former Kokkino... and across the street was a HOT club back in the day called Imago (where Curves is). Local Co, used to be a furniture and design store. How they managed to stay in business so long is beyond me. Now all the little stores between Pape and Chester are becoming obsolete. Businesses formerly owned by regular folk are dying... are dead.
With big business moving in, the 'D4' I love, is gone... Thank God for Little Italy...
