Sunset Grill Opens on Bloor Street

Dancing, Tapas and More at New York’s Xunta

Meghna Lamore I’m a huge fan of flamenco, enjoying the New York Flamenco Festival as many years as I possibly could. The colours, the speed, the rhythm and the staccato percussion sweeps me away on a Spanish journey as few things can. It is with that in mind that I write today about Xunta, in […]
