FOOD

Winterlicious 2013
Eat well at high-end restaurants, spend less money. While Winterlicious is intended to get Torontonians out in the cold to pump money into the restaurant industry during the slow season, that doesn't mean it can't be delicious. Prix-fixe promotions will be offered at 191 restaurants across the city, ranging from $25-$45 per person for dinner, and culinary events will take place throughout the 2-week event with the city's best chefs leading the experience. Reservations are always recommended. Check out our preview post.

THEATRE

A Woman of No Importance
Director Paul Hardy drags Oscar Wilde into the era of big hair and shoulder pads with a 1980s adaptation of A Woman of No Importance. When young Gerald Arbuthnot is offered a position as the traveling secretary of Lord Illingworth, an English gentleman, his mother objects, secretly knowing that Illingworth is the boy's father. With '80s pop music and neon clothing setting the milieu, Mrs. Arbuthnot must keep the truth from her son by preventing him from taking the job. The play runs until February 9th with tickets available through TO Tix.

Don't Trust Anyone Over 30
Anyone whose parents grew up in the '60s and '70s has heard this one many times--don't trust anyone over 30.

Don't Trust Anyone Over 30 launches with an exhibit and party at Creatures Creating this Saturday night, with the nine local photographers who contributed to the book exhibiting their personal zines, merch and work alongside the book, which will be for sale at the gallery. The party is free but if you can't make it, the book will also be selling online at Blood of the Young Zine.
