FEB 2012 - 30 days non food yelping!
See All Lists
1. Beck Taxi
It's difficult to review a cab company, because I have a general disdain for all cabs and how they run in Toronto.
Yet, if I have to choose, I would choose Becks, over any of those other ones.
I find them reliable and the cars nicer, cleaner. They…More »
2. Hazelton Lanes
Yeah, the mall is a little pretentious. But it's still a nice indoor shopping experience.
I used to come here a lot when I was younger, when it seemed like more of a family place. Or at least that's what I remember. That middle atrium was an ice…More »
3. Presto! card
Toronto, ON M5J 1E6
Category:
Public Transportation
Neighbourhoods: Financial District, Downtown Core
I'm sure the Presto card works better for the GO transit system than it does for TTC. But I can only comment on the latter.
Can you believe, that I got one when it first came out, and waited until it finally installed a machine nearby at St. George…More »
4. Bikram Yoga Toronto - Bloor
Toronto, ON M5S 1W2
(416) 691-7575
Category:
Yoga
Neighbourhoods: The Annex, University of Toronto, Downtown Core
Every time I come here I get upset. I'm really just trying to use up my classes and I can't come back here.
Although a convenient location, you walk down the stairs into a pit of stinkyness and sweat.
I've written to the studio before about this but…More »

Everytime I come here, I feel the need to express feelings of disdain and caution to others. I have… Read more »
5. Shoppers Drug Mart
It's a great location. Big and bright an ample parking. There's also an lobo opening next door. Unrelated comment but it could be a nice one stop shop.
Like any of the renovated store you walk into the beauty area. At the back is a large section of…More »
6. Canadian Tire
It's kind of off to the side, and unless you really need something or live nearby, you might actually miss it.
It's small and carries mainly car stuff like mats, lubes, and a bunch of manly things I don't really get.
But there is the occasional home…More »
7. Winners Apparel Ltd
North York, ON M3H 5Y4
(416) 665-7380
Categories:
Accessories,
Women's Clothing
It's a big one, but on a saturday night it was quiet.
There was lots of choice in Yoga gear, shoes, and electronics (which was why were were there). But simliar to other Winners locations (where we were prior to coming here).
The only thing I wasn't…More »
8. TTC - Toronto Transit Commision
Toronto, ON M4S 1Z1
Category:
Public Transportation
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant and Davisville
Oh TTC, you do just get us where we need to go, but your archaic system needs to be updated. Not to mention the only way to deal with increased volumes since 1920s was to create more bus routes and a few subway lines. It's scary how the subway…More »
9. Walmart
Why is it that Walmart outside of the GTA is so wonderful!
Brightly lit, with high ceilings, even the produce I want to buy here. You'd never have me say that in the Walmarts in the city.
It's obviously the new model, and since it's opening, I've seen…More »
10. Sol'exotica Tanning Spa
The place would have gotten a 4, but some kinks in my experience I had to reflect it in the rating.
I came here because I got a free spray tan flyer in the mail, and just when I was looking to get one too! I've been to a few different places, but…More »
11. Hilton Montreal Bonaventure
Although this is my most recent time staying here, I've stayed in the past quite a bit for work, sometimes weeks on end. For work, I liked it the most. It was central enough. The Path system took me underground and straight to the office building…More »
12. Aéroport International Pierre-Elliott-Trudeau
I've only ever flew domestic in an out of here, to Toronto. I would come in with e-ticket in hand on my phone and head straight to the Porter desks.
I could come in about an hour before the flight left, and still make it in time to grab a coffee and…More »
13. Centre Eaton de Montréal
Although there is one in Toronto, this one is much different. Its has a modern feel, and its clean and bright.
Families come here as well as kids, I came with my mom and felt comfortable.
Its not the same in Toronto Eaton Centre, even though they are…More »
14. Bixi Bike
Toronto, ON M5H 4G1
Category:
Bikes
Neighbourhoods: Queen Street West, Downtown Core
I love this service, and I'm so glad that Toronto (and thanks Telus) for putting this in the city.
It's a great alternative to taking the subway. It's $6 both ways on the TTC, and with a Bixi, you can go almost anywhere in the downtown core for $5…More »
15. Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport
Well, the place is no overrun with not only Porter but also Air Canada flights. It used to be the small intimate airport with a lounge that you could sit quietly with your laptops.
After finally getting there on the ferry, it's a real airport now. No…More »
16. Budget Rent A Car
For 4 weeks last year, I would come in every week on Sunday night, pick up a car and return it on Friday.
They liked to upgrade me, but I was always nervous about driving around a huge SUV (but turns out in Winnipeg, it's quite the normal, and you…More »
17. Darling Spa - CLOSED
Although, I have only been to see Leslie a handful of times, she was one of the best estheticians I've ever had.
For a while she's been working part time, for a variety of reasons, and despite not taking on new clients, it's impressive that the spa…More »

18. The Paper Place
Toronto, ON M6J 1G5
(416) 703-0089
Category:
Cards & Stationery
Neighbourhoods: Niagara, West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods
Coming here you'll get an overwhelming choice of different paper. After much research, there are other options for your regular card stock, but what is unique is the Japanese patterned paper that they sell here. (Among a whole bunch of other crafty…More »

Categories:
Gyms,
Swimming Pools,
Community Service/Non-Profit
Neighbourhoods: The Annex, University of Toronto, Downtown Core
This is a review for the 'Being Jewish' class I am taking with my fiance.
We decided to take the class, for both his and my benefit, to get to know the background and history of the culture. He's not orthodox by any means, and a lot of the traditions…More »
20. Hairfree Laser Skin Clinc
Toronto, ON M4K 1P3
(416) 461-4247
Category:
Laser Hair Removal
Neighbourhoods: Greektown, Riverdale
My sessions have been completed now, and I am fairly happy with the results. Even if they weren't good, I'm not sure it's the clinic's fault, could be the machine, or the number of sessions you get.
With the 6 original sessions that I got, and for…More »

21. Porter Airlines
I still really like Porter although now the airport is overtaken by a lot more flyers and Air Canada.
The airport is larger now, and helps makes the case for a serious airport.
Booking my flight to Montreal was easy and customer service helped a lot…More »

22. Teambuy
Toronto, ON M5V 1P8
(855) 832-6289
Category:
Shopping
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
When this type of business started in Toronto, Teambuy was one of the pioneers. This was the time that Groupon didn't even exist in Toronto yet, and this business model was ingenious.
I think between the two sites, I started to buy so many, that I…More »
23. Four Points by Sheraton Mississauga Meadowvale
I'm back again here for training taking place in one of their smaller boardrooms.
So much better than last time. No more round tables, square office style desks. Out room is a bit small, but fits us nicely (about 20 people).
The food here is much…More »

Etobicoke, ON M9T 1A2
(416) 239-7090
Category:
Department Stores
Neighbourhood: Etobicoke
I came here looking for a Winners, and ended up at a Walmart.
Although from the front it looks like any other run down version of the store, I think they are renovating. It's a bit brighter than normal, and the entire middle section is getting…More »
25. The Distillery District
Toronto, ON M5A 3C4
(416) 922-9760
Category:
Local Flavour
Neighbourhoods: Distillery District, West Don Lands
Since they revamped the area, this has become one of the most visits in Toronto. When finally sold in 1990, Gooderhams & Worts played a huge part in Toronto's economic interests, making whiskeys and spirits. Even helped out our neighbours in the…More »
26. Parlour Salon
Toronto, ON M6J 2Y7
(647) 345-6663
Category:
Hair Salons
Neighbourhoods: Ossington Strip, West Queen West, Beaconsfield Village
I've got mixed feelings about the place, but in the end it's the hair cut that matters.
I like coming here because Jay is really friendly and we have good conversation, and some days I can just play on my phone without distrubance and not feel…More »

Toronto, ON M4V 1L5
(416) 962-2023
Category:
Doctors
Neighbourhoods: Yonge and St. Clair, Deer Park
I mean, for an eye doctor, he's as good as it gets!
At a friend's recommendation, I came to Dr. Fearon (Opthamologist)for a routine eye check up, as I haven't seen anyone for a while. My prescription was in dire need of re-assessment.
He's located…More »
