1. Adrift
Toronto, ON M5V 2K6
(416) 515-0550
Category:
Sporting Goods
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
Perhaps I'm just getting old but this place is more about bad hipster fashion these days than skating. While I understand that moving to Spadina from Kensington market must have been a substantial rent hike, it would have been nice if the place had…More »
2. Ben Sherman
Toronto, ON M6J 1E9
(416) 603-7437
Category:
Fashion
Neighbourhoods: Niagara, West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods
Ben Sherman was an institution for many years. Good quality clothing, half decent prices with modern designs for the fashion conscious gent. Then the chavs moved in and it went downhill. You can now find Ben shoulder to shoulder (pardon the pun) with…More »
3. Candlewood Suites Extended Stay Hotel Montreal Centre Ville
Montréal, QC H2X 3Z9
(877) 834-3613
Categories:
Hotels,
Venues & Event Spaces
We're going to keep the good times rolling here with another two stars on the hit parade!
Candlewood is an odd beast. Being an extended stay hotel I would have to imagine that most of the occupants are college/university students. That reason alone…More »
4. Cold Stone Creamery
Toronto, ON M5V 2T3
Categories:
Desserts,
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Niagara
This is a Tim Hortons/Cold Stone shared space that's just opened up on King. I can't tell you how many other businesses have opened here and failed but I'm interested to see how long it takes for this new venture to go under. Having said that, it is…More »
5. Drake Hotel
Toronto, ON M6J 1J3
(416) 531-5042
I'm obviously too cool for this place because the last time it was interesting was before the renovation. Yes this puts me in the minority because if you didn't know any better, the Drake looks like a cool place. The people are pretty and well…More »
6. Freshslice Pizza
I too have traveled around the world but I actually ate all kinds of food. Because of this I know what good food tastes like. Fresh slice is neither good food nor good pizza. In fact, this is easily the worst pizza I have ever had and that includes…More »
7. Le Gourmand
Toronto, ON M5V 3S6
(416) 504-4494
Categories:
French,
Coffee & Tea,
Breakfast & Brunch
I have a love hate relationship with this place. I love their green bean, prosciutto and salmon salad and hate everything else. Everything. Well except the cute little cafe feel the place has.
I work right around the corner from this place and have…More »
8. Livestock
Toronto, ON M5V 2K6
(416) 360-5483
Category:
Shoe Stores
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
Two words; not down.
Livestock is another in a long line of boutique sneaker stores. The prices are exactly what you would expect to pay in a boutique store of any kind but the fundamental problem is that sneakers aren't worth a $200 price tag. They…More »
9. Loblaws Supermarkets Limited
If you've been to one large Loblaws then you've been to them all. This particular location is missing a tire rotation centre, skating rink, ball pool and gun range but at least they have a large selection of crappy discount ice cream.
I tend to stick…More »
10. Mbrgr - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M5V 1K1
(647) 729-1747
Categories:
Canadian (Traditional),
Burgers
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
It's official Mbrgr is closed for good. It seems that gouging customers on substandard food is a great way to go out of business.

I'm not very impressed by this place. Maybe it's because $15 shouldn't be the least amount of money… Read more »
11. Mississauga Transit
Mississauga, ON L5C 3B1
(905) 615-4636
No really. You're just better off walking.
Let me now regale you with the exploits of a young man that worked in a factory not a ten second walk from a bus stop. At his point of departure he was a two minute walk away from a bus stop. The distance…More »
12. Pizzaville
Toronto, ON M5V 1X6
(416) 736-3636
Category:
Food Delivery Services
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
When I was just a wee bairn growing up on the tough streets of East end Toronto fast food choices were limited. The Beach was a rough area so high class restaurants like McDonald's and Pizza Pizza were hard to come by. I had to make do with places…More »
13. Real Canadian Superstore
This place reminds me of Cost Co. in the sense that it is large and barren looking. When it first opened up it was just a large warehouse space filled with food stuffs. While it has become a little less austere, it sure ain't gettin' much prettier.
If…More »
14. Ronnie's Local 069
I'm surprised at how much love Ronnie's gets from the Yelp crowd.
Call me a snob or worse, a hipster but I don't think it's all it's cracked up to be.
My love affair with dank, tiny, cramped bars sent me to Ronnie's where I was immediately walled in…More »
15. Toys R US
Etobicoke, ON M9C 1A1
(416) 621-8697
Categories:
Children's Clothing,
Toy Stores,
Baby Gear & Furniture
Neighbourhood: Etobicoke
Another birthday, another trip to a Toys R Us in the middle of no where.
I'll just come out and say it, this place sucks. I'm not usually that blunt when I review things but there was nothing redeeming about this location. It's right by Sherway…More »
16. Warriors Martial Art Supply
Toronto, ON M4Y 1Z9
(416) 926-1222
Categories:
Specialty Schools,
Sporting Goods,
Martial Arts
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
I remember going to Warriors many many years ago and being overwhelmed by the sheer amount of destruction one person could cause with their wares. Every weapon imaginable hung from the walls or was tucked away in a case. You want throwing daggers or…More »
17. Waterfalls Indian Tapas Bar & Grill
I had such a bad time the first time I was here I blocked it out of my memory altogether which is how I ended up here a second time. This time round the slow service and cold food at least made enough of an impression that i remembered to never go…More »
