Shopping Centres

The Eaton Centre is a place I got to know well back in 2005 when I was working at the Pantages Spa across the street. Whenever I had a break between clients I would head to mall to spend cash I hadn't yet earned. It was these shopping trips that…More »

6. Grange Hotel
I came into Grange Hotel for a photo shoot. The scene for the shoot was a 'seedy hotel room concept' and GH somewhat fulfilled that description, but I'm sure theres far seedier hotels out there.
The room was small yet organized and clean. I…More »

Tattoo
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Queen Street West, Downtown Core
My impression of NT is a bit of a mixed bag, as the saying goes.

Category:
Dance Studios

Eros Fitness is an absolutely beautiful pole studio.

Categories:
Vegetarian,

I do enjoy myself a good poutine now and again. I really shouldn't be eating the stuff as it is all fatty and with my dairy allergy cheese doesn't always go over so well, but we're all allowed our guilty indulgences, right???
On my walk home from…More »

14. Hot Topic
The name Hot Topic brings back so many memories of growing up as a Goth teen in Buffalo NY. This is was when Hot Topics could only be found in the States. My posse and I would head there in droves and spend all our allowance there. It was the one…More »

16. TTC - Toronto Transit Commision
Toronto, ON M4S 1Z1
Category:
Public Transportation
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant and Davisville
While I completely get why most hate the TTC (and I am included in that 'most' group) the TTC is also something that I know realistically if it didn't exsist TO would a very different kind of place to live in, and that it would be different for the…More »
17. 300 Bloor-Danforth Bus
It was my best friend who first introduced me to this all night bus. It was about 3 years ago on the eve we were celebrating my birthday and I was completely incoherantly drunk. Then in a small moment of clarity I looked at my phone and realized…More »

Categories:
Canadian (Traditional),
Diners
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Queen Street West
SC is a funky sort of place.
I ended up here for dinner with Bestie one night. I wasn't so sure what to expect as neither the name or decor really gives off any indication as to what sort of eating genre SC belongs to. The menu was fairly extensive…More »
19. Hyperion Tattoo
I really really wish that either I lived closer to Hyperion or that Hyperion could be located closer to me. It of course would just be the luck that the best tattoo shop I've ever gone to and would love to return to again and again has to somewhere…More »

22. Royal Meats Barbecue
For almost 11 years I was a vegetarian. This was between the ages of 15-26. I used to drive my dad crazy because when I lived with him and he would cook something with meat in it for dinner I would kick up a fuss about how I would not eat it and he…More »
23. Swan & Firkin
Let me begin this on a postive note--the best part about Swan & Firkin is the upstairs patio area. Its spacious and also heated in the winter, and you get a fun view of all the comings and goings all along Bloor Street, I always like to watch…More »

(416) 964-2708
Category:
Pubs
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
Personally I think one of the best things about HOD is its cheeky name. On a total sidebar, didn't the whole 'hair of the dog that bit you' saying come from the ancient cure for what to do if a werewolf bites you? That just randomly popped into my…More »

Gay Bars

The first time I came into Woody's I couldn't help but notice I was one of the only females there. However there was lots of eye candy sauntering around so I really didn't mind.

Public Services & Government
