When Mark Taylor, owner and sommelier at Cru (1459 West Broadway), decided to open another restaurant, he knew exactly the type of neighbourhood joint it would be: simple, casual Mediterranean food and wine served in the South Granville area he’s resided in for the past nine years.
Siena (1485 12th Avenue), which opened in February, is just that—a “once-a-week restaurant,” Taylor told the Straight by phone. “The idea is affordability.”
Inspired by his travels to the Mediterranean, Taylor said that he initially wanted to open an Italian restaurant, but then decided to include French and Spanish offerings on the menu and wine list as well. Read More
The Chali-Rosso Gallery presents a Matisse-Picasso Exhibition starting February 16, 2012.
Throughout their lives Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse created an impressive body of works. They expressed their creativity through a wide variety of media, like painting, sculpture, ceramic, murals and printmaking as well. Besides the superior technical skills they possessed, the delicacy and expressiveness of these graphic works is most fascinating.
Picasso said, “You have got to be able to picture side by side everything Matisse and I were doing at that time. No one has ever looked at Matisse’s painting more carefully than I; and no one has looked at mine more carefully than he.”
Now all of you have the chance to look carefully at both of these masters’ original art works. The Chali-Rosso Art Gallery express their respect to these great artists by presenting an exhibition of their works.
Opening Reception
Thursday, February 16, 2012
6pm
Some champagne may pop up as well.
Beside the Picasso-Matisse Exhibition, the Chali-Rosso Art Gallery will also be showing their permanent collection of other Modern Masters such as Marc Chagall, Salvador Dalí and Joan Miró. Read More

The obligatory giving of flowers, candy and cards often makes Valentine’s Day—supposedly a holiday for celebrating true love—seem like just another example of consumerism gone mad.
But collectors can take heart. With more cards, candy tins and cuddly teddy bears on the marketplace than you can shake a cupid’s arrow at, Valentine’s Day keepsakes are a surefire source of the warm and fuzzies. And at generally reasonable prices, they’re a good investment, too.
The holiday as we celebrate it today is a whole lot sweeter than its pagan origins. Valentine’s Day is believed to be a Christianized offshoot of Lupercalia, a fertility festival celebrated on Feb. 15 in ancient Rome. Modern lovers can thank Pope Gelasius for recognizing that the pagan traditions of Lupercalia—frenzied boys slapping womenfolk with strips of goat hide soaked in sacrificial blood, for instance, and a crude lottery system that allowed randy bachelors to literally pull the names of their mates out of a communal urn—were not only un-Christian but downright un-romantic, as well.
