1. Toronto Pearson International Airport
Why you should read this review: I was an uber-slave to Pearson as a flight attendant for an undisclosed company, homebase YYZ. You think you were at YYZ a ton this past year? I was probably there more.
My immediate feelings towards writing this…More »
2. Yelp's Ping Pong Ball
My first elite event ever, and guys, what a way to start! Vivek, you've set the bar so high for me and I'm super excited to see how you'll top that (hint: AMAZING RACE)!!! Spin was a great idea for a venue. I think everyone's been meaning to check it…More »
3. Zipperz
Toronto, ON M5B 1L6
(416) 921-0066
Category:
Nightlife
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
Your friendly gayborhood Zipperz, serving you drinks, drag and dancing every single night of the week. In a perfect world, every Toronto neighbourhood should have one.
I am actually only well-versed with Zipperz on Wednesday nights (yes, I go out on…More »
4. Yorkville Library
A cozy little TPL situated in the cute neighborhood of Yorkville, right between the firehall and a small park. What a story book street!
The selection of books is limited due to the size of the branch, but there are four main sections: Media, Adult…More »
5. Salon Prive
Toronto, ON M5G 1H2
(416) 585-7938
Category:
Hair Salons
Neighbourhoods: Discovery District, Downtown Core
You win some, you lose some with an internet coupon deal... At Salon Prive, you most likely lose more than a few inches, a couple of bills out of your wallet, and your self-esteem.
After purchasing a couple of DealTicker coupons, my girl and I went to…More »
6. Dollarama
Toronto, ON M4Y 2B7
(416) 924-1064
Category:
Dollar Store
Neighbourhoods: Yorkville, Downtown Core
I see that a fellow Yelper has opened her review with "This Place is So Dangerous". She is right, but I have quite a different set of reasons for why this particular Dollarama is dangerous.
1. Unfriendly Staff: compared to other Dollarama locations,…More »
7. Carlton Cinemas
Toronto, ON M5B 2H5
(416) 494-9371
Category:
Cinema
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
Other Yelpers have made it clear enough, but I figured I shall reiterate their point again, in honour of today (Tuesday)... $$$ FIVE DOLLA TUESDAYS TODAY $$$
Beyond that, I would recommend this to people who like to support small-time, non-giant…More »
8. Value Village
Enter at your own risk: increasing chance of contracting a contagious condition called Hipsterphilia with each minute spent at this VV. Oh, also, you might start developing respiratory tract irritations.
I like this location better than the Lansdowne…More »
9. Manulife Centre
Toronto, ON M4W 1A5
(416) 961-2311
Category:
Shopping Centres
Neighbourhoods: Discovery District, Yorkville, Downtown Core
So, as a part-time resident of the Manulife Residences, I have to start my day by stepping foot into this mall on many occasions. While it ain't exactly my choice to be greeted by a billion old folks and their walkers each morning, I know I should be…More »
10. Yonge Street Tattoos
Toronto, ON M4Y 1Z3
(416) 929-2285
Back a few years ago, YST used to have a display of photographs in the window of people who had gotten tattooed there, and the one that stood out the most was that of a curly-haired Justin Timberlake and a backwards-capped Joey Fatone (think *NSYNC…More »
11. New Tribe Piercing & Tattooing
Toronto, ON M5V 1Z6
(416) 977-2786
Category:
Tattoo
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Queen Street West, Downtown Core
A friendly attitude goes a long way and they sure don't got that at New Tribe. The only thing keeping them from losing another star is their excellent location and clean facilities.
I have been to New Tribe on several occasions - getting one of my…More »
12. Crews And Tangos
Toronto, ON M4Y 2C8
(416) 972-1662
Category:
Gay Bars
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
Five stars for the amount of entertainment and fun Crews provides each time I visit. BUT, overall it earns no more than three for its poor upkeep of the establishment.
Cons: inaccessible entrance, ugly interior, and dirty (usually sticky beer floors).…More »
13. Adrenaline Body Piercing & Tattoos
Toronto, ON M5V
(416) 913-8805
I kind of like it at Adrenaline. I find that they have pretty friendly staff - and I value customer service a lot. If you're not covered in tattoos and piercings, you may have to be a little proactive in the beginning and initiate a conversation with…More »
14. Nine Two Five Jewellery
Toronto, ON M5G 2R3
(416) 979-9883
Clever pun, Nine-TWO-Five, clever pun.
Pros: convenient location, cheap battery replacement (just $5 after tax!)
Cons: the owner. Dude's always on the phone and gets annoyed when I show up for just a simple battery replacement each time, rather than…More »
15. Shopper's Drug Mart
Toronto, ON M4Y 1X4
(416) 408-4000
Categories:
Cosmetics & Beauty Supply,
Drugstores
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
LOOOOVE! I am proud to call this Shoppers my neighbourhood drugstore. Why? Not because I love corporate giants (I really don't) but they got errrthing! Milk, butter, eggs, deodorant, printer, passport photos (only $9.99, everyone!), spermicides,…More »
16. Body Blitz Spa
A sense of calmness and relaxation. Check. Clean space and attentive staff. Check. Thoughtful of minor details. Check. But I will cut right to the chase of why I docked two stars off:
1. CHATTER/NOISE: Having grown up in Japan, I think I am used to a…More »
17. Iam Yoga
Toronto, ON M4Y 1Z9
(416) 920-9642
Category:
Yoga
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
*2.5*
Since my review from January, I have been going to Iam Yoga on a regular basis. I am sad to report, however, that they have gone downhill by A LOT.
The change rooms, which were the highlight of many people's experiences, are now a nightmare.…More »
