Bestie and I have this ritual of sorts.

3. Swan & Firkin
Let me begin this on a postive note--the best part about Swan & Firkin is the upstairs patio area. Its spacious and also heated in the winter, and you get a fun view of all the comings and goings all along Bloor Street, I always like to watch…More »

Asian Fusion
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
I quite like this place.
Ok so its not super authentic Thai food, it is somewhat PG 13 in terms of menu choices and the service is a tad lacking, but overall it makes for a good place for me and my bestie to sit, eat, drink and yak yak yak and not…More »

(416) 598-8700
Category:
Shopping Centres
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
The Eaton Centre is a place I got to know well back in 2005 when I was working at the Pantages Spa across the street. Whenever I had a break between clients I would head to mall to spend cash I hadn't yet earned. It was these shopping trips that…More »

Office Equipment,
Art Supplies
Neighbourhood: The Annex
Midoco was a lifesaver for me,
I had been hired to teach an art lesson to a grade 3 class and needed some drawing suppplies and of course had left everything untll the last minute. I asked one of my co-workers if there was any kind of art supply…More »
8. Grange Park
Well now, what can I say about Grange Park??

9. Wibke's Espresso Bar
Wibke's is a cute and quaint little coffee shop located in my 'hood. Bestie and I have passed by it countless times and finally decided the other day that this was it, the day had come and we were going to try it out.
I'm no longer a coffee drinker,…More »
10. Humber Cinema
Humber Cinema is a terrible movie theatre with uncomfortable chairs, no air circulation, poor snack selection, bathrooms without working lights and inflated prices.
Bestie and I thought we'd stick to our home area to support our local merchant…More »

I used to work right around the corner from Sushi Time and so my best friend and I would oftern frequent this place for the simple reason of geographic convenience.
He always had this catchphrase about this place--'At Sushi Time when you ask one of…More »
12. The Friendly Thai
I'm a little suprised the negative criticism this place is getting since I've been here tons of times and every time I've loved it!
The menu has lots of choices and prices are very reasonable. I love the veggie pad thai and veggie spring rolls. The…More »

(416) 324-9400
Neighbourhood: The Annex
My bestt friend and I stopped in here because we were in the area and looking for a place to sit, drink and talk.

Etobicoke, ON M8X 1B3
(416) 234-2899
Neighbourhood: Etobicoke
Gabby's is a horrible pub with terrible service, cramped seating, awful food and disgusting bathrooms.
Case in point--I ordered a red wine yet I got a white wine. I said to the waitress, I asked for red. She said, oh sorrry, my mistake, and then…More »

(416) 767-1077
Category:
Coffee & Tea

18. Hot Topic
The name Hot Topic brings back so many memories of growing up as a Goth teen in Buffalo NY. This is was when Hot Topics could only be found in the States. My posse and I would head there in droves and spend all our allowance there. It was the one…More »

Toronto, ON M4S 1Z1
Category:
Public Transportation
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant and Davisville

20. 300 Bloor-Danforth Bus
It was my best friend who first introduced me to this all night bus. It was about 3 years ago on the eve we were celebrating my birthday and I was completely incoherantly drunk. Then in a small moment of clarity I looked at my phone and realized…More »

Diners
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Queen Street West
SC is a funky sort of place.
I ended up here for dinner with Bestie one night. I wasn't so sure what to expect as neither the name or decor really gives off any indication as to what sort of eating genre SC belongs to. The menu was fairly extensive…More »
22. Churchmouse & Firkin

For the longest time it seemed that whenever Bestie and I would head downtown we would either meet here at the Churchmouse or end up at the Churchmouse. This was were we met for birthdays, the first stop of many drinking spots in an evening filled…More »

Nightlife
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core

The first time I came into Woody's I couldn't help but notice I was one of the only females there. However there was lots of eye candy sauntering around so I really didn't mind.

Gay Bars
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
It was here at Georges Play that I learned something very important about myself. That is that I am in fact smarter than a drag queen. How did I learn this you may be asking yourself? I learned this one night when I was pulled up onstage by none…More »
27. MacKenzies High Park
I stopped in here last night with Bestie for some drinks. We've been meaning to try Mackenzies out for awhile as it is located very close between both our respective residences, however we always seem to end up at one of the Firkin's or Yelllow…More »

Ok so its a cramped kind of space, the service is basically non-exsistant, hardly anyone who works there speaks English so there is a big communication barrier and the bathrooms are gross, however the eats are amazing and my best friend and I have…More »
