It is always fun to see a happy crowd milling around a restaurant or bar. It evokes remembrances of London where lunch and dinner always produce a social mob of patrons on the sidewalk. Jay, a reader of our sister blog, Yonge and Roxborough News, has sent this picture of the lunch crowd on Crescent Rd across the street from the Rosedale subway station. The popular sandwich place is called the Black Camel. The simple goal of the Black Camel, as stated on its website, is “to prepare good tasting, high quality food, to deliver it quickly and to price it fairly.” Roxy blogger Peter Rehak comments that older readers may remember Camel cigarettes in which prominent pitchmen (and women) would say “I’d walk a mile for a Camel.” Much better to get a sandwich than a cheroot, we add.
