1. Smoke's Poutinerie
Toronto, ON M5S 1X8
Canada
(416) 588-2873
Categories:
Vegetarian,
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: The Annex
When I visit my friend in Canada, there are two things I want to eat: ketchup chips and poutine. Hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio, where poutine is a rarity, I was ecstatic to pass this shop while browsing Toronto.
Smoke's is all pountine and only…More »
2. Real Fruit Bubble Tea
Toronto, ON M6G 1L2
Canada
Category:
Juice Bars & Smoothies
Neighbourhoods: Koreatown, Palmerston, Seaton Village
An entire shop just for Bubble Teas? Yes, please!
After a vigorous shopping trip at Honest Ed's, my friend and I passed Real Fruit Bubble Tea. "What's bubble tea?" she asked. I was in shock! How had she not sampled the delights of bubble tea?
Real…More »
3. Honest Ed's
Toronto, ON M6G 1K3
Canada
(416) 537-1574
Categories:
Department Stores,
Outlet Stores
Neighbourhoods: Palmerston, Seaton Village
As we rounded the corner, Honest Ed's appeared on the horizon, in its vast, glowing glory. An icon of Toronto since 1948, Ed's reminded me of my local Village Discount Outlet http://www.yelp.com/bi... in monstrous proportions. Honest Ed's encompasses…More »
4. Portuguese Pastry & Bakery
Cambridge, ON N1R 1K2
Canada
(519) 623-3280
My friend and I picked up a cake from Portuguese Bakery as dessert for our cookout: Aerowafer cake layered with handbeaten whipped cream, white chocolate shavings and flambéed caramel. Never have I tasted a cake so light, fluffy and gorgeously…More »
5. Freshly Squeezed
I passed the Freshly Squeezed kiosk at Conestoga Mall only to spot a large sign advertising Bubble Tea. I love Bubble Tea! Never did I expect to find it in a mall though. In Cincinnati, I have to trek down an Asian Fusion restaurant to find this…More »
6. The Bike Joint
Toronto, ON M6G 1G6
Canada
(416) 532-6392
Category:
Bikes
Neighbourhoods: Palmerston, Bickford Park
My friend and I were exploring Toronto for the day when we became lost. There we were, just off of Bloor Street with our giant, 10-pound bags from Honest Ed's, a non-functioning GPS, and my friend's two kids in tow. Lost.
Exhausted from searching for…More »
7. Sir Casimir Gzowski Park
My friend and I came with her kids to Sir Casimir Gzowski Park for an evening at the beach. The jogging path remained steadily busy, but the beach area was quiet with a few scattered people relaxing. Her kids had a blast playing in the shallow water,…More »
8. Conestoga Mall
Yep, it's a mall, but being from The States and seeing an entirely new variety of stores, how could I not be a fan? There are many international favorites, such as Gap and Old Navy. I even noticed a Victoria's Secret finally made its way up to…More »
9. Canada Border Services Agency - Sarnia
Google Maps sent me through Sarnia to cross from The States into Canada to visit my friend in Waterloo. Turns out this was faster the going through Detroit, and led for a less congested, more scenic drive. The gorgeous blue waters of Sarnia alone…More »
10. New York Fries
Located in the Conestoga Mall, New York Fries serves up several styles of poutine and other fry-related dishes. As an American, I'm baffled at how the restaurant is "New York Fries," although poutine is traditionally Canadian. New York? Now that's…More »
11. Manchu Wok
My friend and I took her kids here for lunch while at Conestoga Mall. Rosanna, the server, was very kind and patient with the young ones as they looked over the buffet and selected their meals. She did a good job explaining how much you got and for…More »
12. Pizza Nova
I'm always excited to try a new a pizza-by-the-slice restaurant, but unfortunately Pizza Nova didn't meet my expectations. Perhaps I've been spoiled by NYC pizza slices, but I didn't find Nova to be anything nouveau. My friends and I had a pepperoni…More »
13. East Side Mario's
Whenever I visit Canada, East Side Mario's tops my list of places to eat, as we don't have them in The States. Unfortunately, this location isn't one of the best.
Italian Wedding Soup and bread are my must-have appetizers. We dined here around 7:30pm…More »
14. LCBO
A one-stop shop for our hosting needs, my friend and I stopped by the LCBO to pick up extra drinks for our weekend cookout. With aisles upon aisles of assorted liquors and beers, you'll find what you need here. Being from The States, I enjoyed the…More »
15. Zehr's Markets
Stratford, ON N5A 7Y2
Canada
(519) 273-6164
Categories:
Caterers,
Grocery,
Photography Stores & Services
A grocery store in a mall makes for a great one-stop shopping trip. Zehr's has a wide variety of products, and as an American, I was enthralled with the different selections of potato chips and candy. I loaded up the cart with junk food to take back…More »
16. Travelex Currency Services
Cincinatti, OH 45202
(513) 381-4469
Category:
Financial Services
Neighbourhood: Downtown
In need of a quick currency exchange for an international trip? Travelex is your place!
On an impromptu trip to Canada, I made the mistake of waiting until the last minute to get some Canadian cash. I called a few of my local banks who said I would…More »
