    During my visit to the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO), I had the pleasure of experiencing The Grange, thanks to my friend's AGO membership. It was a stroke of luck, as this hidden gem offers a delightful selection of desserts! I couldn't resist trying the "Dessert" Chocolate Cake, which was recommended by the friendly staff. It was a true indulgence - lovely to look at and even more delicious to savour. The flavours were perfectly balanced, leaving me with a satisfied sweet tooth. The ambiance at The Grange was incredibly comfortable and inviting. Since it is exclusively available to AGO members, it offered a tranquil and serene environment. The absence of large crowds allowed for a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience. If you appreciate scrumptious desserts in a cozy setting, The Grange is the place to be. It's a haven for those seeking a moment of respite and culinary pleasure during their AGO visit.

    therees not hing ugite like a fist fight. i mean there really isnèt there cant be! because only ua fist fight could be so timeless, so raw, and so charged with enrgy and emotions! that is why it is the oldest tr show! think about the roamsn think about the primates, they all love to watch a good fist fight especially if they are so extremely bored and there is nothing else to do because they dont have iphones yet... i think most people nwoadays who fistfitht definitely have iphones though so there must be some other form of motivation to participate in this grueling battle of physical wit. there must be some reason why a punch is their next step they always say never bring a knife to a gunfight but what do they say about fistfights. never bring something to a fistfight i think that might be the truth because if you bring something then your cheating and your not supposed to chest unlees von finke von •• a chester hecanse com people like cheaters because the usually are sery desperate and are therefore considered the underdog but also sometimes rery prominent, non-underdog people also cheat because they too do not want to lose. take lance armstrong for example. legendary cheater, legendary mnner, never the underdog. yet he cheated. or take jerry from tom and jerry, jerry always cheats because he is sneaky little mouse and if he didnt cheat he would literally die and i think this makes him an underdog. so you see, all cheaters have something to win and somethins to lose but either way. think it must be cheating if you bring something to a fist fight. i really really hope that one day i do not get into a fist fight because i think this is rery bad and not a good way at all to solre the issues between myself and the other fist fighter. marbe i would run avar if ther wanted to fight me, or maybe i would stay and stand up but still not fight. but these things are scary and weell nerer reallr know.

    The Grange Bicentennial Wedding Celebration 2017-09-29, marked the 200th year anniversary of my ancestral home (1817-2017AD) via Harriet Elizabeth Mann Dixon, now known as the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO); designated a world heritage site 1970AD. Many thanks to Professor D'Arcy Boulton VII & his wife Professor Boulton for all historical references, Ms. Jennifer Prince of the AGO for assisting with the wedding preparations & arrangements, Ms. Jocelyne Potvin of Canada Post in Ottawa for saving my wife's glass shoes from returning to Hong Kong, our Justice of the Peace from the Ontario Court of Justice who conducted Master of Ceremonies, TIZZ for my wife's exquisitely tailored gown & Allen of Daniel Jewellers for the custom jewellery. There are so many others unmentioned who made efforts & contributions, sacrificed their time, some of whom circumnavigated the globe to be in attendance, all of which made the celebration of my marriage to Mrs. C.J.E. Hudson Esq., on Fri. Sept. 29th, 2017, an exceptionally quintessential experience! Words do not properly portray my feelings in expressing my gratitude well enough as the event could not have been possible without everyone's combined efforts. Thank you everyone!

    This is our usual parking spot when visiting the AGO. At $7 it is reasonable. The directions to pay stations and street access are not clear. Also the processing of parking tickets is slow so you can end up in an eight car line up to exit the garage 🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🙁

    Went to do high tea at the Norma Ridly Members lounge. Seats available right away. Knowledgeable staff. Friendly front desk. You're not seated close to the other guests. Light airy space. Comfy couches with pillows and a coffee table in between for the high tea. Service was quick and took pur orders right away. Tea choices were plentiful and brewed perfectly for you. No hot chocolate option for kids , just juice, milk and whatever decaf teas they have. Food came fairly quickly. All hot items were hot and desserts weren't ice cold. Enjoyed all the food and portions , while they looked small, they filled us up perfectly. Price per person with tax and tip was about $55 which is cheap compared to other high tea places. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will be back again for more.

👍 Good food as always! Convenient. Kids friendly. One star less because in the men’s washrooms there is no arrangement for baby diapers change. I managed it somehow but for a single dad with baby it is not convenient. I hope management would put up something to resolve it. Thank you.
