San Cosme Puts a TO Spin on Mexican Tradition

Move over, tacos. We’ve fallen for San Cosme’s sandwiches – and the vibrant interior they’re served in certainly helps

Tortas are Kensington Market’s latest Mexican craze. San Cosme’s version of the grilled sandwich mixes such neighbourhood specialties as ham by Sanagan’s Meat Locker and buns by Blackbird Baking Co. The diner’s vibrant interior also comes courtesy of local pros, +tongtong. The design studio pairs patterned tiles and a ceiling installation of vinyl ribbon and wire fencing with a mural by Stephanie Latulippe featuring Mexico City’s Angel of Independence.

Part of our feature on four grab-and-go lunch spots with delicious interiors.

In the pleasing hamlet of Cataract, the Liberty Inn reimagines a 19th-century landmark as a rejuvenating getaway

There are some hotels that make me say, “This feels like a space I could live in,” and The Liberty Inn is one of those places. Each of its five suites has more of the tenor of a country cottage than a hotel room. Thoughtfully furnished living and dining areas invite lingering, smart kitchenettes welcome whipping up a meal and bespoke bathrooms beguile. The fridge is stocked with homemade strawberry jam, ready-to-bake croissants and oat and dairy milk. There’s a woodland spa and a garden, both within a pastoral setting, replete with birdsong, just steps from the Forks of the Credit Provincial Park. Though this boutique hotel is just a 60-minute drive from Toronto, it feels like a world away.
