Sure, it totally sucks that The Real Jerk was booted out of its spot at 709 Queen Street East after 24 years in business. But a new location’s been earmarked—and it’s super close to the old digs. Like 350-metres close. The Caribbean eatery will be moving down the street to 625 Queen Street East, a mere five-minute walk away according to Google Maps. So while Riverside might be gentrifying, there’s still room on the street for some old-fashioned roti. And let’s hope they get along better with the new landlords. [CityTV]
