Although it has an odd name, this place is nestled in the heart of Montreal's tiny Chinatown. There are a few other Vietnamese places along this stretch of on St. Laurent but Pho Bang NY seemed to be the busiest.

They have some of the best Pho soup…More »

I first discovered Steamwhistle in 2004; the first time I went on the brewery tour. I've since been twice more and every time the tour has been different.

The first time I took the tour, no one was working on the floor bottling or packing so the guide…More »

I had my first Porter experience last week. As I frequently fly with many other airlines, I can definitely say that the experience with Porter is very different and in my opinion way better.

When it comes to tequila, the staff at Reposados know their stuff. We headed to Reposados on a cold February Monday night. The crowd was light so we decided to sit right at the bar to have a good view of what they had on the shelf.

There were so many…More »

I discovered Pho Hung about 10 years ago as a poor starving student. Where else can you get a huge delicious bowl of steaming soup with mounds of tender meat for about the price of a coffee at Starbucks?!

As the name implies, Pho Hung specializes in…More »

If you want authentic home-cooked Polish food in TO, you've come to the right place. Niesamowite!

If you're looking for excellent Italian food in the Village of Islington, this is the place to come. The veal piccatta is amazing and wine list is quite good as well.

So I'm in Indy for work again and the typical "Where do we go for dinner?" dilema comes up. Being the only Yelper in the group, I bring it up on the iPhone and quickly find that Ted's Montana Grill's got great ratings and it's only 5 miles away. Off…More »

I love this place! Their back patio is walled in all 4 sides by 4 storey brick buildings, which are covered by vines. There are trees and lots of seating. But get there early because on most nights it fills up quickly.

Recently updated lists from Steeven L.

My home away from home (12)

I travel pretty often. Actually, I travel A LOT. Like all the time. So I stay in a lot of hotels. This is a sample of some of the best, and worst (looking at you Days inn, you smell like pee) from the last couple of years.

Brunch, now part of a complete breakfast (11)

Have you ever woken up after a night on the town, thirsty, your mouth tastes like the bowels of hell,  and it feels like your brain has been removed and replaced with cotton balls and needles it hurts to even try and think? Well, you my friend are in need of brunch.

Anniversary date (4)

A list of things to do and places to see for a romantic anniversary.

Start off with a ride down to Palace Pier Park on Humber Bay before sunrise with the always reliable Kingsboro Taxi. Then set up for a sunrise picnic facing the city over the bay. After breakfast, walk along the boardwalk, which makes up part of the Martin Goodman Trail downtown to the Elmwood Spa for a couples massage, water therapies and lunch. Finally, finish off the day with a relaxing afternoon on the beach at Ashbridges Bay park.
