Scotch On the Rocks - Literally!

Whisky Stones 

 

A creative use of a natural product has come about the past couple of years as an ice cube substitute.  Marketed by a number of companies, these small soapstone cubes can be chilled in your freezer and then added to your whiskey glass to cool down your beverage.

Allen's

Restaurant Review

 

Allen's has been an east-end fixture since opening its Allan'sdoors in 1987.  Located steps from the Broadview subway station, Allen's is a lovely Irish restaurant that sports some 13 drafts on tap and 80 or so beers by the bottle.
