187 Queen St., in - are you ready for it? - historical Port Perry, Ont.! (This is a town east of Uxbridge and north of Oshawa. Take Highway 401 east to Whitby; turn N on Brock St. [highway 12], and drive 30-40 minutes N. Take Highway 7A east into Port Perry: as you go into Port Perry, Highway 7A splits into two, staying Highway 7A on the right and becoming Queen St. on the left. Follow Queen St. to the restaurant. There's free parking behind the post office. Naturally, this is one of those occasions when we will need to coordinate (a) reservations and (b) carpooling. So, if you would like to partake of this picaresque Port Perry pilgrimage, call me at 416-516-0743 or e-mail me at jasont@ccp.ca by August 22.
