1. Spynga
Toronto, ON M5R 3H8
(416) 588-7796
I adore Spynga.
The concept of combining spin and yoga in a single class & offer them separately makes this an amazing studio for a year-long membership. When I'm doing a spynga flow class (the spin/yoga hybrid) I don't need a hot yoga class to feel…More »
2. Royal Canadian College of Massage Therapists
I visited RCC for a 60 minute massage treatment at their student health and wellness clinic. Each RMT is supervised and every appointment is begun with a 15 minute consultation session to scan your overall health and areas of concern.
My RMT was very…More »
3. Green P Parking
I've parked at this particular Green P many times for its proximity to places like the Toronto Reference Library, Holt Renfrew, the Cineplex VIP cinema, Restaurants (like 7 West, Crepes a GoGo, and Camros) and Yorkville.
Though drive is a little…More »
4. Topshop
Much like the effect of beer goggles Topshop has unfortunately revealed itself to be an inferior H&M in many ways*. The quality of clothing, accessories and makeup settles in between Forever 21 and H&M touting prices higher than Zara.
It seems like a…More »

Finally, Topshop made it in Canada.*
The British fast fashion retailer is going to have a huge effect… Read more »
5. AMC Yonge & Dundas 24
Toronto, ON M5B 2G9
(416) 977-9262
Category:
Cinema
Neighbourhoods: Ryerson, Downtown Core
Upon hearing a few years ago that an AMC was opening at Yonge & Dundas, I was pretty unhappy. I thought this place would turn into a shitey suburban mall a la Midwest with their love for everything in excess.*
I actually love this location of AMC for…More »
6. Toronto Reference Library
I have a huge soft spot for this Toronto landmark (yes it is a landmark). I've been coming here to study for the vast majority of my undergrad and grad courses. This is pretty much the only library in the GTA to find old Moliere and French theatre…More »
7. Wilfred Boutique
Toronto, ON M5B 2H1
(416) 597-0644
Category:
Women's Clothing
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
Wilfred Boutique is an extension of Aritzia. If you've shopped at Aritzia you'll know that the Wilfred line is a lot more elegant and polished. You'd easily find something to wear at work and after.
Actually, I feel much more comfortable shopping at…More »
8. Serendipity Yoga & Pilates
I took a Hatha 1/2 class with Chris (I'm pretty sure was his name). Serendipity is a low-key, laid-back yoga and pilates studio, and I mean to add an emphasis on 'pilates' as they have two rooms, each of which is completely dedicated to each…More »
9. Shoppers Drug Mart
Richmond Hill, ON L4C 1V7
(905) 508-2921
Reasons why I like SDM in general:
-Cool selection of brands you can't find anywhere else in Toronto, ex. Klorane, Bioderma, Avene, RoC, Nuxe, Yes to Cucumbers!, Batiste.
-Convenient hours and locations
-Decent prices on grocery and vitamins
-Useful…More »
10. Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge
Etobicoke, ON M9W 5N4
Category:
Lounges
Neighbourhood: Etobicoke
This lounge is definitely average when compared to airport lounges in other countries.The whole point of a lounge, I think, is to provide a secluded and calming area with perks, like food & drinks. If the entire terminal has a tendency to be pretty…More »
11. The Yoga Sanctuary
My previous review was actually for the Yoga Plus that used to be in the same location. Since Yoga Sanctuary took it over, they've renovated the studio to have a separate entrance with a gorgeous practice room including Iyengar equipment for the…More »
12. J Crew
J.Crew, America's answer to Club Monaco on acid hit Canada last year. What was once an ode to Ralph Lauren-esque preppy workwear (Cable knit brights, polos and all) is now the home of menswear inspired women's clothing, sequins and skinny jeans in…More »
13. Stella Luna
Toronto, ON M6R 1A9
(416) 536-7300
Category:
Thrift Stores
Neighbourhoods: Parkdale, Roncesvalles
During the past 7 summers or so, I've ventured out here for a traditional vintage escapade. Stella Luna never let me down. I've found feminine sweaters for layering made of rich wool, silk tops, and old school pumps.
While my aesthetic is now a…More »
14. Mona-Clara Jewellers
I bought a couple of items from here over several years. They mainly have fine jewellery such as gold, diamonds, etc., but have a great selection of silver jewellery as well.
The lady manning the store is pleasant and helpful, providing her personal…More »
15. GTAA Parking Garage - Terminal 1
Short Term Parking gets flying colours for the pick up, but as far as a long-term stay there are better options available through the airport. You can usually get an ace spot right near a walkway to the terminal at any time of the day. The payment…More »
16. McCarran Rent-a-Car Center
This is about a 7 minute shuttle( and by 'shuttle' I mean full-sized bus) ride away from Terminal 2, The shuttle driver is very helpful with baggage handling.
It's a pretty smart idea to assimilate the rental centers at one spot to eliminate the…More »
17. Montblanc
Las Vegas, NV 89109
USA
(702) 732-0569
Neighbourhood: The Strip
Montblanc pens are easily the best luxury pens out there, -easy on the eyes and the paper. I always make it a point to come out here and peruse luxury watches in the Forum Shops and then dabble in writing utensils for the high rollers, pun intended.…More »
18. Nordstrom
Las Vegas, NV 89109
USA
(702) 862-2525
Category:
Department Stores
Neighbourhood: The Strip
I really like Nordstrom. Unusually, this is not an ode to the massive (and I really mean massive) shoe collection, but for the great service and selection offered in their contemporary womens clothing and sleepwear department.
There is a well-chosen…More »
19. Avis Rent A Car
When you end up in Vegas without a car it feels like a major inconvenience. Especially when your life doesn't include gambling and an excess of alcohol it becomes a huge setback to rely on greasy spoons and lunchtime tequila on the strip. A car seems…More »
20. Flamingo Las Vegas
Las Vegas, NV 89109
USA
(702) 733-3111
This review is strictly for the Casino and grounds.
Sure Flamingo is an anchor on the Strip with its history and flashy signage, but I think that's where the question lies; better to burn out than fade away? It's already faded. The casino reeks of…More »
21. Town Square Las Vegas
Las Vegas, NV 89119
USA
(702) 269-5001
Category:
Shopping Centers
Neighbourhood: Southeast
Town Sq LV is an outdoor shopping center located about 10 minutes (by car) South of the strip. It's a great place to spend some time away from the hustle and noise of the circus life.
This shopping center has a few restaurants, Fry's, Whole Foods,…More »
22. Trump International Hotel
Las Vegas, NV 89109
USA
(702) 982-0000
Categories:
Hotels,
Venues & Event Spaces
Neighbourhood: The Strip
Like many others before me, I, too enjoyed the casino-less hotel ambiance. It's very relaxing and calming to enter a pristine building free of the stimulants and lights that make you never want to sleep in LV.
Being here before the pools open,…More »
