toque!
Toqué restaurant now opens for casual lunches and dinners at the bar
That's what I call being on-trend: chef Normand Laprise and partner Christine Lamarche (pictured above) have re-done the bar at their famed Toqué! restaurant, and turned it into a "gastro-bar" where clients - even solo ones - can sit down for a casual, relatively inexpensive dinner.
The menu available at the bar - starting December 1 - will be much shorter than Toqué's regular menu, but also less expensive. "We think that's what people want these days, convivial dining without any fuss", says Laprise.
Another big change: Toqué! is now open for lunch, following a six-YEAR hiatus! And what's best: at great prices. The main course prices include a choice of one of the appetizers, plus coffee and mignardises. What's not to love?!

Die Antwoord Video Lands in Guggenheim Exhibit
Photo by Eirik Lande
Earlier this year, we reported that Animal Collective would serve on a jury to see what would make it into a Guggenheim Museum exhibit called YouTube Play, an exhibition of online video art. So maybe the AnCo guys had something to do with this: As The Village Voice points out, the Guggenheim has now posted the 25 videos that made it into the exhibit, and one of those videos is "Zef Side", the first viral missive from the South African rave-rap crew Die Antwoord.
And even though Die Antwoord have been in our lives for the better part of a year now, it's easy to see why the Guggenheim folks picked the hybrid interview and performance video, in all its mysterious, phantasmagoric glory. So the sight of MCNinja's balls bouncing up and down in a pair of Dark Side of the Moon shorts is now exactly where it belongs: In the annals of one of the world's most famous art museums. The exhibit apparently only ran last weekend, but the results live on online.
And because you know you want to, re-watch the "Zef Side" video below.
