Adventures in CityPlace

I've just moved to the neighbourhood and it is very under-reviewed! Here is my (growing) list of CityPlace-ish businesses.

1. Telus CityPlace

363 Front St W
Toronto, ON M5V 3S8
(416) 883-3550

Category: Internet Service Providers

Neighbourhoods: City Place, Entertainment District, Downtown Core

2/1/2011 First to Review

Telus CityPlace provides residential high-speed internet to anyone living in any of the CityPlace buildings. The internet is freaking FAST (up to 100mbps) and claims to be the fastest high speed residential service available anyway in Canada.

This place is amazing! I'm very tempted to give it 5 stars, but I will have to do so after repeat visits.

I met my friend here for a coffee today as it's our new local coffee spot. Spot is just so beautiful inside, it's possibly the nicest coffee shop…More »

Wow, WTF? As someone who enjoys cooking, never in a million years did I think I would like a place like M&M Uptown.

I generally avoid packaged/prepared foods like the plague, but it's only half a block from my place, so I wandered in here just to see…More »

Hello, BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOZE!

This LCBO is outta control! I love it!!!! It's huge and SPACIOUS (No need to jostle through the hordes to get to your bottle of choice). Even the bums outside asking for change are classier at this LCBO.

The wine selection…More »

I kind of like Pizza Nova! This location is under the CityPlace Matrix condos on Front Street West.

For a fast food pizza joint, I'm pretty impressed. Very spacious inside, extremely clean and great decor. They have quite a bit of seating, a large…More »

Another Rabba. This one is in CityPlace just below the Matrix condos at the corner of Front/Blue Jay way.

Rabbas are somewhere in between a grocery store and a convenience store. They used to be quite overpriced, but nowadays I'm noticing the pricing…More »

Decent pizza in Condo-land.

I'm surprised to hear people comparing it to places like Terroni. It's good - but it's no Terroni!

Pizza Rustica serves thin crust pizzas (your choice of whole wheat or normal white pizza crust) but I feel like they are…More »

So I've moved to Condo-land and this is the closest place for groceries.

I'm giving it 3 stars simply because it's CLOSE and there's nothing else around. If there were other options, I likely would not spend too much time here.

I like to cook. This…More »
