Metro Minute at Shopsy’s restaurant

Sometimes the old is new all over again. Historic Toronto restaurant Shopsy’s has been serving up slabs of premium deli meats since 1921, and has established itself as a certified city landmark. Theatre goers along the King Street strip made their house-smoked meat Reuben sandwiches a bona fide pre-show ritual before their Front Street location closed last year. But from the ashes arose a Shopsy’s reborn: The restaurant at 96 Richmond St. W. has melded a newly renovated, modern space with a culinary throwback to the days of old, when the Shopsy’s menu focused on good old-fashioned home-cooked foods at its original Spadina digs.
