1. Valhalla Cards & Gifts
Toronto, ON M6J 1G1
(416) 203-6328
Category:
Cards & Stationery
Neighbourhoods: Niagara, West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods
It was such a weight off to find a card and gift shop that wasn't Hallmark. I have nothing against that particular company that creates gift cards, but I always like to support smaller shops. You also find that, especially with card shops, the…More »
2. Australian Boot Company
Toronto, ON M6J 1E7
(416) 504-2411
Category:
Shoe Stores
Neighbourhoods: West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods
When my buddy purchased his first pair of Bluntstones some years ago, he did nothing but go on and on and on about how comfy the boots were. Yes, I get it. They have the soft sole, the pull-tab entry, and the chic-kinda-ugly look going on for them.…More »
3. Nutty Chocolatier
Toronto, ON M4E 1E5
(416) 698-5548
Category:
Chocolatiers and Shops
Neighbourhood: The Beach
The only thing I have against this place is that it moved out of my neighbourhood. It used to be just around the corner on Queen Street West so it's be simple enough to dash around the corner for a quick fix of chocolaty goodness. Now I've got to…More »
4. Rotate This
Toronto, ON M6J 1G1
(416) 504-8447
Categories:
Music & DVDs,
Vinyl Records
Neighbourhoods: Niagara, West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods
When I heard that Rotate This! had moved from Queen Street West, I was mortified. This was a place that held a huge range of alternative and non-mainstream music and for my money represented the true heart of Queen Street West. Moving, I thought,…More »
5. King Hollywood Video
Toronto, ON M5V 3M7
(416) 603-1987
Categories:
Videos and Video Game Rental,
Music & DVDs
Neighbourhood: Niagara
One of the first things you do after moving into a neighbourhood is find where the local movie rental place is and get a membership. The second day after moving to King and Niagara, I walked across the street, credit card and ID in hand, to get a…More »
6. Black Dog Video
Toronto, ON M6J 1G8
(416) 530-0006
Categories:
Videos and Video Game Rental,
Music & DVDs
Neighbourhoods: West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods
God bless the independent video shops. You can always count on them to house not just newer releases, but allow you to go deeper into a back catalogue or two and either finally get around to see movies you should have, or reacquaint yourself with…More »
7. World's Biggest Bookstore
As bookstores go, the name gives it away. This is one of the biggest that you'll find in the city. Several floors choked with novels and magazines from various genres are all on offer. This is not in any way to be confused with any other sort of…More »
8. Steve's Music Store
Toronto, ON M5V 2A5
(416) 593-8888
Categories:
Musical Instruments & Teachers,
DJs
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Queen Street West, Downtown Core
I'm not an accomplished musician. In fact there isn't an instrument out there that I can't play really, really badly. But it came to pass one day that I was doing a stand-up show and needed to get a mic stand. I went in with the sole purpose of…More »
9. LCBO
Sadly, in Ontario, liquor stores are liquor stores, are liquor stores without much variety in product available since it's all dictated by the LCBO. At least the Vintages on Queens Quay steps apart from the usual and has become the place that I head…More »
10. Best Buy
There's always times that, as much as you tell yourself that you don't want to, you need to head into a big-box store. Be it price, selection, what-have-you, you have to go and you don't feel particularly nice about it. If you have to go, at least…More »
11. BMV Books
Toronto, ON M5G 1C9
(416) 977-3087
Categories:
Bookstores,
Newspapers & Magazines,
Music & DVDs
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
When you're beside the worlds biggest bookstore (namely, "The World's Biggest Bookstore" [http://www.yelp.ca/biz...]), it'd be easy for people to miss you as they walk by. BMV stands for "Books-Magazines-Videos" and sells both new and used copies of…More »
12. Canadian Tire
I've got relatives in the area and having spent a ton of my youthful summers here, I've always got fond memories of the Canadian Tire here. It used to be in downtown Kemptville and we'd go in to get carpentry supplies, summer beach toys, and…More »
13. Cd Exchange
Again, this is one of my old haunts transformed anew, but in a similar theme. I remember when this location used to house a music/musical instrument store. But those days are as gone as the Tragically Hip albums I used to buy from the current…More »
