1. Via Rail Canada
VIA ROCKS!
I've always loved trains, so I'm biased. But here goes: VIA 1 service between Toronto and Ottawa/Montreal/Quebec is incredible. Excellent food. Free booze. The on-board staff always seem ready to bend over backwards to please. It…More »
2. Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts
Toronto, ON M5H 4G1
(416) 363-6671
Category:
Performing Arts
Neighbourhoods: Queen Street West, Downtown Core
I'm preaching to the choir, apparently...but here goes. "A" number 1. Top shelf. 10 out of 10. Gold medal. Blue ribbon. First class.
I regularly go to operas here and have never had a bad seat. The acoustics are amazing. It's a huge place, yet…More »
3. Menagerie Pet Shop
LOVE the Menagerie. I used to get all my cat food there, and often, I'd go just to look around. It's like going to a mini zoo. Fish galore, exotic reptiles of all shapes and sizes, parrots...and two lovely little cats who live on the premises and…More »
4. Old Morris Tobacconists
Could there be a better, more nostalgia-inducing tobacconist? FINE pipe tobacco, excellent cigars, great accessories. They've roared from the 19th century into the 21st, by selling online. The website could use some work, but it will do. I used…More »
5. Thomas Hinds Tobacconists
This is arguably Toronto's best cigar/tobacco store. It has a large walk-in humidor with cigars divided by geography. It has bundles of no-name cigars for sale, which are really very good for the price. Smokers can rent humidor space if they have…More »
6. Terminal Barber Shop
Toronto, ON M5G 1M5
(416) 598-4941
Category:
Barbers
Neighbourhoods: Discovery District, Downtown Core
In my books, the best barber shop in the city. Why? Great cuts, great shaves (thanks Mustafah!!), great old-world interior, antique wood and brass barber chairs, great music, no appointments needed, central location, friendly, hard-working staff,…More »
7. Toorshi Foods
Toorshi Foods is actually one middle aged man and his father. They make Armenian style pickles, available mainly at farmers' markets. The story goes, Dad came to Canada and hated the pickles here, so started making his own.
His son, the front man,…More »
8. Moffat Inn
This was a great place to stay in NOTL. It's right on the main drag, about a block away from the really busy stretch of Picton Street. Across the street from a park. That means it's quiet, but steps away from the bars and restos.
My room was about…More »
9. Little Bee Supermarket
This place has one of everything, so it's great for convenience. But IF IT'S PERISHABLE, CHECK THE BEST-BEFORE DATE!! I've found stuff on their shelves that was fresh in the 19th century. I've also accidentally bought frozen food that had been…More »
10. Guardian Drugs
This is the strangest drug store I've ever been in. It feels more like a general store in a developing country. But that's just because of the ultra-low ceiling and unique range of products. You don't go here to buy shampoo and deodourant. This…More »
11. Tom's Place

Men's Clothing
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
I've never really owned dress-wear, as I've never needed it. But a year ago, I decided it was time to start looking my "station in life" (age!). I went to Tom's on a recommendation, and left with dress pants, a great shirt, a jacket, belt, and full…More »
