These guys just celebrated their 1 year anniversary of being open a couple weeks ago.

So I will caveat my review with the fact that I came here when I was drunk after a night over at Clinton's.

They owner was a really nice guy. I asked him to surprise…More »

I've now made two trips here and both have been fantastic.  The menu is simple and straightforward.  The food comes out piping hot and the little side dishes are quite tasty.  For under $8 a person you are getting a great deal.  There is easily…More »

It's good and it's cheap, what more can you ask for out of a pizza place?

I wasn't expecting much walking in here. The restaurant itself isn't the nicest looking place but it's fine for what it is. The guy behind the counter (owner?) was nice but was…More »

4.0 star rating
  12/13/2011 First to Review

The store is smaller than most convenience stores but they have the basics and some American products that you can't get in Canada (like Pitch Black Mountain Dew). The main reason I keep coming back here though is the owner. When he thanks you for…More »

I didn't know what fully expect coming here.  I had heard a few things but waited to see for myself.  Upon entering through the front door you find yourself in what looks to be a log cabin turned into a pub.  There are a few tables across from the…More »

This is one of the smaller stations on the Bloor/Danforth line. There is only one bus and it generally runs once every half hour.

This station is convenient for getting to Korea Town to hit the likes of Buk Chang Dong and other delicious delights on…More »

Neighbourhood: Christie Pits

3.0 star rating
  4/4/2012 First to Review

Tucked away on Shaw street, just north of Christie Pits is a little convenience store. There's nothing fancy about it. They have the basics: an ATM, lottery, snacks and drinks, plus the odds and ends that you would expect from any convenience store.…More »

This is a lean running Tim Hortons. I've hit this location both in the morning and late at night and they never seem to have enough staff on. The place is always a mess with napkins and wrappers all over the floor and tables and chairs strewn about.
