I'm a fan. Yes, yes I am.

I only started going to Flo's recently but ended up back there three times in a month. It has a good price point, a good variety of food and the portions are large. A good refuel for the Yorkville shopping. I find the area…More »

Let's put it this way. I live in a building with that has a subway. I walk 4 blocks to get a sub from Quiznos. You know what they say - once you go Quiznos, you never go back.

This shoppers is a small one but a goodie. It's nothing compared to the big shoppers at yonge and college (24 hours) but you can find anything you need.

Shoppers is heaven to me. A selection of cosmetics, health care and food under one roof.…More »

This is a great LCBO. Although it's not massive, it has pretty much anything you need to get your fix. It's also very clean and does not have the sketchy population of the one open til 10pm at Yonge and Wellesley. Friendly staff, really cold beer.…More »

The Bay... a store I've always associated with buying towels and somewhere a mother buys her son shorts and boxers. After hearing that the Bay had undergone a transformation, I decided to go take a look for myself.

I was pleasantly surprised! The…More »

When I moved to TO, I was in search for a new eye doctor.

This place was as good as it could be. I mean, how good can getting your pupils dilated then walking home in the middle of a sunny day?

But seriously, it had the Yorkville swank - leather…More »
