4. The Dardanella
I am shocked The Dardanella (or 'Dards' as everyone affectionately refers to it) hasn't been reviewed yet, between this and Bananas these are the only two options for night life in Wasaga Beach, and what a night life it is!

10. Art Gallery of Ontario
Of all the museums in Toronto, this is by far my favourite (the dinosaurs at the ROM just don't do it for me and the permanent exhibits at the Science Center seem to be geared towards children.) The building is beautiful, no spectacular. The…More »
11. BMO Field
We went to the home opener for the TFC at the BMO field this weekend for the first time and what a great stadium! Every seat in that place is close enough that you get an incredible view of the game.

Wedding Venues, Shops, etc. (8)Believe it or not, I will be attending 9 weddings this year...including my own! I've also been to several over the last few years so I'm becoming a bit of an expert on the subject. |
My favourite restaurants (8) |
Thai Restaurants (4) |
30-Day-Challenge (30)Toronto's 30 day challenge - 30 reviews in the month of October. It should be a review a day, but I fell off the bandwagon at day 22 due to a vacation to the states with little to no access to internet. I'm going to keep going anyway, just for sh*ts and giggles.http://www.yelp.ca/eve... |
Avoid these places (6)My 1 star reviews. |
Waterloo (19)I lived in Waterloo for four solid years during university (summers, winters, springs and falls). Here are some of the places in the city I frequented.Don't be put off by all the 4 and 5 star reviews, I just haven't gotten around to reviewing the mediocre pubs and restaurants around the universities. |
Romantic French Restaurants (3)The very best romantic french restaurants |
Best Places to go on a Date (8)A comedy show, a music performance at a coffee shop, a picnic with fresh cheese, an evening at a museum, or walk through a funky part of town finished with a coffee (or beer) on a patio... these are some great date ideas. |
GoodLife Fitness (9)My opinion on the GoodLife gyms around the city. I don't really have a 'home' gym, instead I work out where ever I'm closest to that day. |
Yonge and Eglinton (33)Yonge and Eg, Yonge and Eligible, call it what you will, here is a list of businesses in the area in alphabetical order |
