I Heart Etobicoke!

There I said it! I LOVE the 'Coke. You are close to the Airport and we are bisected by several highways making it super easy to get anywhere in 20 minutes. Seriously! But more than that, the 'Coke really has some of the best things in Toronto. These are the tried, tested and true places that I highly reccomend if you are ever "visiting" the 'Coke.

THANK YOU ANGELO for making me buy the sexiest cut of steak that totally made me look like a goddess in the kitchen.  It was a dry-aged rib steak that he cut so it can be enjoyed by two people.  I am so proud that there is such a great establishment…More »

The funny thing about stress is that once you mentally and emotionally let go of it, it will physically manifest itself somehow.  In my case, it was a gigantic knot of pain on my shoulders and neck.  But after an hour with Tanya Sursug RMT, I felt…More »

As I was walking  along Lake Shore, I noticed the flyers for this company.  I was curious to see where it was and out of the corner of my eye, I saw it on a quiet street a few meters from Lake Shore.  It is a small take-out shop that specializes in…More »

I drove there a little skeptical but I went to the back of the salon and waited with many other ladies.  In under 7 minutes I had perfectly groomed eye brows for just $3.  It was too good to be true.  They are quick, efficient and very nice.  It is…More »

You know the meal is hearty and good when you are happyily trundling out of the establishment with enough leftover and a sigh of peace.  How can a tiny place pack so much food?  I came here and shared a platter with my friend.  It was unbelievably…More »

This is my guilty pleasure.  After teaching a bootcamp class, I come here and indulge in those tiny perfect Black and Blue sliders, which I take with extra blue cheese and nothing more but the special sauce.  Great flavour and juicy patty inspite of…More »

I love coming in this neighbourhood gym because it is no frills and the cardio machines are never overtaken by a mob of cardio die-hards.  There is space for me to do free weights and there is a great play area at the back where you can turn gigantic…More »
