Sometimes all I want is a good chopped liver sandwich on thick rye and a sour on the side. Whenever I'm in Montreal, one
of the necessary pit stops is Solly's where they make the sweetest, richest liver I've tasted.
In Toronto, it's a different story. I've spent several weekends cruising up and down Bathurst, north of Lawrence, searching
for that sweet, dark treat and nothing I've sampled comes close. But don't fret, as there are other tasty treats I've unearthed
during my liver quest.
Following is a list of places where you can grab a passable bagel (let's not start extolling the virtues of St. Viateur's),
a plate of cheese blintzes and some rugellahs.

M.C. FERAL SHOWS YOU HOW TO DANCE THE HORA
|
| How's yer mouth? |
The hora is frequently danced at Jewish weddings and bar mitzvahs and bat mitzvahs, often by the Chinese.
Steps:
1. Stand in a circle holding the hands of the people on either side of you.
2. When the music starts, follow the circle as it rotates.
3. Step to the side, passing your left foot behind your right.
4. Move the right foot beside the left foot.
5. Step to the side again, passing your left foot in front of your right this time.
6. Continue as the circle keeps spinning, adding a little hop to your steps as you go faster.
7. Move toward the center of the circle and throw your hands, still holding those of the people beside you, in the air.
8. Lower your hands and move backward.
9. Repeat several times.
10. Resume spinning around the circle.
Tips: This is not hard.
