Good catch. I hadn't even thought of Si Espresso Bar (and even if I had I probably would have had to had streetviewed it in order to get the name). I eat my words about no independent coffee culture on the Danforth.

Four Corners Culinary Concourse, which is apparently an incubator for independent food producers, is opening a three-storey facility in the building at 268 Danforth, opposite Bowden, the ground floor of which used to be occupied by the Thuna herbalist. Claiming a summer 2014 opening, but that seems optimistic.

Permit application for 411 Danforth Av (same unit as the old 417 Restaurant) indicates "Louis Cifer Brew Works". I think someone said it was going to be a Keg? Looks like it could be a microbrewery/restaurant.

That's sounds like it could be more interesting than another chain restaurant. Just hope they do a better job fixing up the place than the 417 Lounge did.

According to the sign on the door, Pulp Kitchen is opening a new location at Danforth and Carlaw, where the Mad Italian used to be.

As much as I hate chain restaurants, a Keg had a chance there. Nothing else will. Space is too big and, with minimal patio opp, there is no desired Danforth vibe.

I know this isn't Riverdale proper but I couldn't find a thread for border of East York and Toronto.
I swear there was a church on Westwood near Carlaw. Now there's just giant hole in the ground.

^ I seem to recall some angst in that area due to a proposal for townhouses on that site. I guess it got approved.

In any event, Westwood is pure East York. The tricky part are those lands north of Danforth, south of East York, which aren't really Riverdale. Sometimes just get called Greektown (which is more the strip on both sides) or "the Danforth" (vague). Part of it is obviously Playter Estates. When the lands east of the Don, west of Donlands, south of Fulton/Selkirk were annexed to Toronto in 1908, they were known as Chester or the Village of Chester. That name didn't stick.

Does anyone know what the status is of the huge space at 417 Danforth? I had read a while ago that the Keg had leased it, but there has been no activity there for quite a while.

Curly posted above that there is a permit application for 417 Danforth for the space to become "Louis Cifer Brew Works".

Oops -- my apologies for not seeing that.
A possible microbrew on the Danforth? That has potential!

Yes, but do we have a thread for Chester or Todmorden or Pape Village? Maybe we should. I find myself wanting to post stuff, and probably have, but with no really accurate places to put them.

Riverdale "proper" is bounded by Pape / Danforth / Broadview / Gerrard.
