1. Poutini's House of Poutine
Toronto, ON M6J 1H9
Categories:
Fast Food,
Poutineries
Neighbourhoods: West Queen West, Beaconsfield Village
Poutini's easily does in a pinch.
Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or fulfilling some late night drunken cravings you can get a solid poutine here. Will it be the best poutine you've ever had or one that will knock your socks off? No, but it's…More »
2. Hairy Tarantula Comics & Games
Toronto, ON M5B 1S5
(416) 596-8002
Category:
Comic Books
Neighbourhoods: Ryerson, Downtown Core
This store sort of feels like a guy had a an attic/bedroom full of comics and other geeky goodies and when his mother told him he needed to clean his room he opened his bedroom to the public to sell his wares.
There's certainly lots of things to…More »
3. Lomography Gallery Store Toronto
Toronto, ON M5V 2B5
(647) 352-6702
Category:
Photography Stores & Services
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Queen Street West
Fantastic store.
I had been meaning to get over to Lomography for a while, but the September Elite event finally pushed me to go. Since then I've been back a couple of times.
On my second trip I was picking up my negatives/scans from the photocrawl at…More »
4. Crawford
After a concert ended while the night was still young next door at Mod Club a few of us wandered into Crawford looking to keep our whistles wet. And wet they were kept with $14 pitchers of PBR. They had a few specials on but the only other I can…More »
5. Scotiabank
Toronto, ON M6G 1B7
(416) 537-2191
Category:
Banks & Credit Unions
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Bickford Park
Popped in to use the ATM before a concert.
This is actually a convenient location for my bank. After being with TD for over 25 years and switching to Scotia, I've never really found very many convenient locations, there isn't one close to my house, or…More »
6. Dairy Queen
Etobicoke, ON M8Z 1N6
(416) 255-0623
Categories:
Cheese Shops,
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Etobicoke
It never ceases to amaze me how much DQ can charge for some frozen milk with some crushed up cookies mixed into it.
Nevertheless, this is a good location to get your frozen treats. Any time I've come into this location I've never had to wait long,…More »
7. LCBO - Galleria
Toronto, ON M6H 2A6
(416) 537-1600
Category:
Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhood: Wallace Emerson
The biggest thing you need to know about this location is that it is hidden away on the back side of the mall and it isn't accessible from inside the mall.
Considering which mall this outlet is located at, the clientele aren't exactly the greatest.…More »
8. Great White Entertainment-Store 5002
I wish this store was around when I was growing up. I've spent most of my life living in Maple Ridge/Willowpark and being a geek this would have been right up my alley. Much more convenient than trying to get to Sentry Box downtown and better than…More »
9. The Big Cheese
The biggest thing that irks me about this place is that they're a complete rip-off of Smoke's Poutinerie in Toronto (http://smokespoutineri...). I did my research before writing this review to see if there was a connection between the two businesses…More »
10. McDonald's
Toronto, ON M6E 1B4
(416) 652-9536
Category:
Fast Food
Neighbourhood: Corso Italia
You can get a Big Xtra here, need I say more? Ok, I'll add a little more.
There are a couple McDonald's in the city where you can still get this gem of a burger. Sure you can order a quarter pounder and modify the toppings to make it a Big Xtra, but…More »
11. Scotiabank
Toronto, ON M4K 2M7
(416) 465-3531
Category:
Banks & Credit Unions
Neighbourhood: Riverdale
A very convenient location right outside the Subway station. Like most Scotiabank locations, they're hours are terrible and therefore have only used the ATM. I've never had the opportunity to experience the full level of customer service at this…More »
12. Bar 244
Toronto, ON M5H
(416) 599-2442
Categories:
Bars,
Dance Clubs
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
$3 rail and domestic beer, or $4 premium beer. That's really the only reason to come here. There's no real atmosphere and the place was pretty dead until 11 when all the douchey club people showed up at which point you probably don't want to be there…More »
13. ProFlowers
I've ordered a number of times now from ProFlowers and have been completely blown away by the service and quality. You hear lots of horror stories about ordering flowers online and what arrives is not what you ordered or doesn't come close. Not with…More »
14. Zet's Express Premium Burgers
Just down the road from their original location, Zet's has opened a second express location. I happened to be driving by and popped in for lunch. When I asked at the counter when they opened, they said yesterday! Good timing on my part.
Everything is…More »
15. Josh Laszlo Fulfillment Inc.
My team at the office has been using JLF's services for a number of weeks now. His work ethic is top notch and he doesn't leave out any of the details. His company's slogan of "Forever Expanding" is so true, you can make almost any request and…More »
16. Sukho Thai
I love me some Sukho Thai.
My biggest complaint is that everyone else loves them too! You can never get through when you call and the place is always packed. They have a ton of staff working too in that tiny little place.
My default dish is the green…More »
17. Trail Bottle Exchange
Calgary, AB T2V 5J3
(403) 253-2155
I've been coming to this bottle depot for as long as I can remember.
The staff here are usually pretty friendly and they work their asses off to get you out quick. They sort for you so all you have to do is dump your bag on the counter and away they…More »
18. Christie Pits Park
Rain or shine, there always seems to be something going on at the park on weekends during the summer. Sometimes it's a random Korean festival and other times it's a movie in the park.
The park is well maintained and there's lots of room for everyone.…More »
19. Blarney Stone Irish Pub
This is a solid neighbourhood pub.
I've had drinks here a couple of times and don't have any complaints in regards to the beverages. The food however, not that great. It's standard pub fare but a little over priced for the quality.
20. Yelp Masquerade at Bar Vespa
Time for the champion to weigh in.
I want to give all of my competitors a big congratulations on your efforts, especially to Kelly O. I have her anti-campaigning to thank for the boost in votes for making people want to come find me and see what all…More »
21. U-Haul Moving & Storage
Etobicoke, ON M8Z 1T5
(416) 252-6295
Categories:
Self Storage,
Towing
Neighbourhood: Etobicoke
Quick service and clean new(er) vehicles. What else do you really want from U-haul?
The guy that helped me this morning was great. We had some laughs while he was processing my paperwork and had a little banter with his coworker.
Upon my returning of…More »
22. Pets Wonderful
Toronto, ON M4Y 2E6
(416) 922-6698
Categories:
Pet Stores,
Pet Boarding/Pet Sitting
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
Kind of a crappy little pet store. It's really cramped and the things are packed so tightly you can't find what you're looking for. It didn't spend much time here as they didn't have the dog food I was looking for and was a little scared a shelf…More »
23. Bau-Xi Photo
Toronto, ON M5T 1G5
(416) 977-0400
Category:
Art Galleries
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
My first trip here was during Nuit Blanche last year. It wasn't as packed as I expected it would be which was nice. Since then I've popped in a couple times to check out what they have hanging. Unfortunately, my current salary does not allow me to…More »
24. Burrito Bandidos
I'm done with mediocre burrito places. Both Burrito Bandidos and Burrito Boyz.
I'm sure someone will read this and tell me once again "Have you tried the halibut burrito? It's so awesome!". Frankly, shut your face. If I'm going to have a burrito I'm…More »
