Keeping Track of My ROTD (Reviews of the Day)
See All Lists
1. The Sackett
This is my favorite booze joint these days. Located on a side street in a desolate stretch of Gowanus, The Sackett is small but never crowded, the jukebox pumps out excellent tunes at a conversation-friendly volume and the bartender is super sweet.…More »
2. Lockbusters
New York, NY 10003
(212) 960-8585
Category:
Keys & Locksmiths
Neighbourhood: East Village
I was with my out-of-towner friends at an AirBnB pad when the cylinder on the door lock malfunctioned around 11:30 p.m. We were locked out of the place with no word from the landlord. Luckily, I remembered Jane K.'s 5-star review of Lockbusters that…More »
3. Steve's Authentic Key Lime Pies
I love everything about this bakery:
- Single-minded dedication to one product
- The quirky signposts that point you toward the bakeshop
- The remote location that keeps the hoi polloi away
- Outdoor picnic tables surrounded by Floridian foliage
- The…More »
4. Darling Spa - CLOSED
It was that time again; I had to get rid of the extra feathers and twigs around the magpie's nest. Based on all the positive reviews on Yelp, I knew that Leslie at Darling Spa was the woman for the job. She's also offering a 30% discount* for…More »
5. Mystic Muffin
Toronto, ON M5C 2H4
Canada
(416) 941-1474
Categories:
Sandwiches,
Middle Eastern
Neighbourhoods: Corktown, Downtown Core
No, the name of this place doesn't refer to Jennifer Love Hewitt's vajazzled vajayjay. I'm not sure how it got its name but that's just one of the many questions I have about this kooky little deli/falafel shop, like:
- How can everything be so cheap…More »
6. The Hoof Cafe - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M6J 1W2
Canada
(416) 792-7511
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Trinity Bellwoods
Brunch is the most overrated meal ever. You want me to pay double-digits and wait in the cold for over an hour on a weekend for a couple of eggs and some bread? Hell, no.
But brunch at The Hoof Cafe is not the tired egg-crap I see at every coffee shop…More »
7. Kom Jug Yuen Restaurant
Toronto, ON M5T 2G3
Canada
(416) 977-4079
Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Downtown Core
Holy crap, this place is cheap. The sign out front says "Best BBQ Pork in North America" but it should really say "Kom Jug: Best Bang for Your Buck." (Har, har.)
For $4, I had their famed BBQ pork on a bucketload of rice. Even after I shoved several…More »
8. Hank's
Toronto, ON M5E 1M2
Canada
(416) 504-2657
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhood: St. Lawrence
My MacBook is in the shop. The surrounding air felt like a warm vat of mayo and then it rained buckets. My building shut off the water from 9-5. Today would go down as the suckiest day in history if it weren't for Hank's.
Their whitefish sandwich is…More »
9. Tap Phong Trading Company
Toronto, ON M5T 2G4
Canada
(416) 977-6364
Categories:
Home Decor,
Kitchen & Bath,
Hardware Stores
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Kensington Market, Downtown Core
I just moved to Toronto and I'd been scrambling for bits and pieces for the kitchen, racing against the clock, and trying to procure enough tableware for a tapas shindig I was throwing for 13 people.
Luckily, I came across Tap Phong in Chinatown…More »
