Is it just me or did 2018 fly by faster than an IndyCar battling for first place? It seems like I was just putting the Christmas decorations away only a few months ago, but I now realize that a full 12 months has passed. They say time passes by quicker as you age…well that’s certainly true for me! Or perhaps it’s just that I’ve been super busy all year. Whatever the case, it’s good to slow down at the end of the year and assess one’s progress, as well as refine one’s goals. Did you have a particularly good year and want to celebrate the incoming year in style? You might want to book one of these Toronto restaurants for New Year’s Eve 2019 dinner now before they sell out. They are some of my favourite restaurants in Toronto. Happy 2019!
