Ready, Set, Weekend!

Dumpling Ground, Friday, 6 p.m.
Venture out of Chinatown to Qing Hua Dumpling, a zero-frills basement eatery in the Concordia/Dawson ghetto. Boiled or steamed dumplings are served in quantities of 18, and made to order – be prepared for a 25-minute wait.

Survivor Osheaga, Saturday, 1 p.m.
