Chained Melody

A collection of corporate and big box stores I'm not ashamed to visit.

1. Indigo Books Music & More

220 Yonge St
Toronto, ON M5B 2H1
Canada
(416) 591-3622

Category: Books, Mags, Music and Video

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core

10/20/2010

Lookit: we all know what the inside of an Indigo looks like. There are shelves and shelves with cutesy callouts like "What's Hot" and "Staff Picks" and other scammy headers to make some books seem like Superbooks. They're not. Who cares. What I'm…More »

2. Apple Store - Eaton Centre

Toronto, ON M5B 2H1
Canada
(647) 258-0801

Categories: Computers, IT Services & Computer Repair

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core

Update - 9/19/2010

I finally understand how to buy/do things in the place. Maybe that's what happens after you own a Mac for a year -- Apple's way of thinking seeps into your brain. I love how you can buy any item from anywhere in the store. An employee will ring up…More »

3. Best Buy

65 Dundas St W
Toronto, ON M5G 2C3
Canada
(416) 642-8321

Categories: Electronics, Music & DVDs

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core

1/26/2010

Here's why I like Best Buy.

1.) Their not-on-commission staff doesn't follow me around asking me pointless questions.

2.) Their 30 day no-questions-asked return policy gives you a sense of security on large purchases. I've bought and returned many…More »

4. Timothy's World Coffee - CLOSED

401 Bay St
Toronto, ON M5H 2Y4
Canada
(416) 203-0238

Category: Coffee & Tea

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core

12/6/2009

Timothy's is the forgotten little brother of Canada's coffee chains. If Starbucks is the douchy I-banker engrossed in his BlackBerry and Tim Horton's is the hardened bricklayer that drives a pickup then Timothy's is the effete youngest brother that…More »

5. Starbucks

765 Yonge St
Toronto, ON M4W 3E2
Canada
(416) 962-8555

Category: Coffee & Tea

11/1/2010 First to Review

Now lookit: I'm not here to gripe sarcastically, or inform you about their "perfect" oatmeal, or make 90s era jokes about the coffee nomenclature. Everyone knows about Starbucks and their omnipresence is sometimes unavoidable when you need coffee,…More »

6. Menchie's Frozen Yogurt

511 Bloor St W
Toronto, ON M5S 1Y4
Canada
(416) 645-0222

Category: Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt

4/18/2011

"You are now a regular at Menchie's Frozen Yogurt." If there was a "Tub-o-Lard" badge on the Yelp app, I surely would have earned it, this weekend. I hope they don't start recognizing me there. (Whatever, I'll run it off.)

Menchie's is a wild ride.…More »

Everything I buy from this store lasts me a lifetime. (No, I can't prove this, but I know quality when I see it.) Yes, MEC is expensive but generally worth it. The have such a wide array of products, you'll want to spend some time in this expansive…More »

Canada
(647) 352-5639

Category: Canadian (New)

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core

7/26/2011

It's the little things that make this Yonge and Dundas location seem so enormous. Like when you first feel the blast of a/c pouring out of the wide-open windows, and you feel like you're about to hug a glacier. Or the moment when you give their…More »

Toronto, ON M5H 3R8

Category: Steakhouses

Neighbourhoods: Financial District, Downtown Core

4/20/2009

My favourite of The Keg restaurants is located in the heart of the Financial District and as is to be expected, chock full of suits. If you like men that reek of fiscal prowess and cocaine, hit up Thursday nights: you'll have your pick. The decor is…More »
