924 College, Toronto, Ontario M6H 1A4 416-792-4497 Emmet Ray is somewhat of a mythical character. Some claim he did not exist, some know he did. Jazz aficionados may be aware of this little known gypsy jazz guitarist of the 1930s and 40s. And Woody Allen’s 1999 film “Sweet and Lowdown,” aimed to shed some light

Sandy and Catherine

926 Dundas W, Toronto, Ontario M6J 1W3 647-346-9356 OPENED IN LATE SEPT 2013 Rhum Corner, the name came from Jen’s husband Roland drinking rum and cokes at Cocktail Bar and serving them up for friends in the know, in the corner.
