List of Awesomeness
See All Lists
1. Twin Peaks
Having moved to the Bay area from Toronto, I've had a few visitors so touring around SF has become a normal thing. I always bring or recommend that they check out Twin Peaks for fantastic views of the city.
While it's not difficult to get to, you…More »
2. SFMOMA Rooftop Sculpture Garden
This place is perfect after strolling around the museum going through all the floors and their exhibits. The main room doesn't have much seating, only tables along the windows. I guess they're going for that open look and to have an unobstructed…More »
3. Gabriel & Daniel's Mexican Grill
Okay, this place is awesome.
For a place located at a golf centre, I wasn't expecting much at all. In fact, I was expecting a mediocre burger and fries type of place but it's awesome.
The presentation of their food is beautiful and they really take…More »
4. Olive et Gourmando
Just so happened to stumble into this place because it started to rain. I'm enamoured with this place. Cute, welcoming, unique decor that has a homey feel to it. We were first seated, then advised that all the coffee/baked goods were to be ordered…More »
5. Restaurant L'avenue
Montreal, QC H2J 1X2
Canada
(514) 523-8780
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Breakfast & Brunch
LOVE this place.
Came here for brunch (love brunch!) and was NOT disappointed. I came here on a weekday around 1pm and waited for about 15 minutes for a table. I would have waited longer if I had to. This place oozes of hipster cool (yeah, I said…More »
6. Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve
Honolulu, HI 96815
(808) 396-4229
We waited in line for an hour to get in and there's apparently always a line up so be prepared. Water, snacks, sunscreen etc for the wait & the beach. The view from above the Bay is gorgeous and take some time to enjoy it. It's really a beautiful…More »
7. Giovanni's Shrimp Truck
5 stars because quite frankly I would never have thought that shrimp coming out of a truck could taste so good. I had the shrimp scampi - garlicky & buttery greatness with a side of rice.
It's a bit pricey at about thirteen bucks but I was on…More »
8. Black Hoof
Toronto, ON M6J 1W3
Canada
(416) 551-8854
Category:
Gastropubs
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Trinity Bellwoods
I finally made it to The Black Hoof and wasn't disappointed. I loved the food and atmosphere. We came right at 6pm when it opened for dinner and were lucky to get one of the few tables left. We had:
Tongue on Brioche - delicious and actually kind of…More »
9. The Harvard Tour
This was a fantastic tour! It's a student operated tour around the university and the tour guides were enthusiastic, knowledgeable and really kept everyone engaged. The tour is full of historical anecdotes and tidbits of cool information. It's free…More »
10. Oak Tree Mazda
Can a car dealership really get 5 stars? Yes, yes they can. Prior to my experience at Oak Tree I was skeptical about dealerships thinking that all sales people try to squeeze as much out of you as possible. Not so, at this place.
I called in on a…More »
11. Caffè Artigiano
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1S2
Canada
(604) 694-7737
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Mmm...this place just warms my heart. I love it. It's the best coffee chain in Vancouver (please come to Toronto, won't ya?). I can't help but feel better about spending just a tad more when the barista presents me my latte with his/her rosetta leaf…More »
12. Morph Hair Designs
To the point - I freaking love Peter. He did wonders with my hair.
So before I came back to Toronto, I went to get my hair cut. Disastrous. Just terrible (a Yelp review to come). Bangs were too short and my hair just fell...oddly. My hair has…More »
13. High Park
Toronto, ON M6P 3K7
Canada
Categories:
Parks,
Zoos,
Playgrounds
Neighbourhood: High Park
*4.5 stars*
Finally made my way to High Park this past week and loved it. I didn't have a plan of which trail/path so my friend and I just roamed around. It's a lot larger & has a more variety than I expected (was just expecting paths & grass).…More »
14. Te Aro
Toronto, ON M4M 1K2
Canada
(416) 465-2006
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Leslieville
I've been to their Ossington location and heard great things about the Leslievile cafe so even though I wasn't particularly craving a latte, I had to drop in. I love the decor and atmosphere of this place. It's large, open, with plenty of tables. I…More »
15. Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts
Toronto, ON M5H 4G1
Canada
(416) 363-6671
Category:
Performing Arts
Neighbourhoods: Queen Street West, Downtown Core
I've been meaning to check out this centre since it opened but never had the chance to. I finally came here for one of their Free Concert Series In the Robert Bradshaw Amphitheatre. Most of the shows are from 12 to 1pm with some starting at 5:30pm.…More »
16. Dark Horse Espresso
Toronto, ON M5T 2C7
Canada
(416) 979-1200
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Chinatown, Downtown Core
Fantastic cafe with a cool vibe. The large communal tables, wood, brick interior and the 2nd level overlooking the espresso bar really makes this place stand out. It's a great place to meet friends, work and while I'd like to go their to read, the…More »
17. Porter Airlines
I love, love, love, love Porter.
Love #1: Yes, the complimentary wifi, newspapers coffee, tea, juice, water and cookies/biscotti. (Maybe I should increase the number of "loves" in my first sentence to accommodate all these things...)
Love #2: On my…More »
18. Vij's Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6H 1L1
Canada
(604) 736-6664
Category:
Indian
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
This place is really as good as it gets and it's my favourite Indian restaurant in Vancouver (and beating out the Toronto competition).
Since Vij's doesn't take reservations, I suggest going there at 5pm (it opens at 5:30pm) where you'll already find…More »
19. Pizzeria Libretto
Toronto, ON M6J 2Z8
Canada
(416) 532-8000
So you know a place is going to be amazing when there's an hour wait an hour and a half before it closes.
I decided to bring a friend here after a show at Roy Thompson Hall thinking that it wouldn't be packed. Wrong. We were the last people they put…More »
20. Bubbies Homemade Ice Cream & Desserts
Honolulu, HI 96826
(808) 949-8984
Categories:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt,
Desserts
Made it mochi rain with dolla, dolla bills.
So I was only going to try a couple since I've heard so much about it and then ended up buying a countless number of them. My favourite was the lychee, chocolate and espresso. I absolutely love the mochi…More »
21. Beachhouse at the Westin Moana Surfrider
Maybe it was because I was on vacation or maybe it's because I can't imagine a better place to have a great high tea meal than out on a veranda in Honolulu - probably both and that's why this place gets 5 stars.
We were seated on the veranda with…More »
22. Juliette et Chocolat
Montréal, QC H2X 2V4
Canada
(438) 380-1090
Categories:
Chocolatiers and Shops,
Desserts
I love chocolate! I'm not sure why it has taken me so long to find a dessert place dedicated to it but finally! Heaven. Chocolate heaven.
So even after a filling (and lacklustre meal) I was happy to find this just down the street from where we were…More »

Canadian (New),
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Liberty Village
Booked this place for 30 of my friends for my 'See You Later' dinner. I chose School because I've enjoyed their brunch, wanted to try out their dinner for awhile, remembered that they had a great pack patio and free parking behind the restaurant…More »

This place makes school cool - if only real school had such great brunch food. You're greeted with… Read more »
24. City Hall
San Francisco, CA 94102
(415) 701-2311
Categories:
Landmarks & Historical Buildings,
Venues & Event Spaces
Neighbourhood: Civic Center/Tenderloin
This venue can't be beat in SF! It's gorgeous and since it's a public building you're free to go to the various floors to take pictures.
I had my wedding civil ceremony here recently and it went very smoothly. We registered with the office and then…More »
25. Jack's Stir Brew Coffee
New York, NY 10038
(212) 227-7631
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: South Street Seaport
Traveling to a new city I'm usually on the look out for indie cafes because I think that the quality is usually better than the chains and it's always great to support local shops.
Thanks to Yelp and Toronto CM Vivek's review I made my way to Jack's…More »
26. Nothing Bundt Cakes
The cute sign and the fact that it had "cakes" in the name stood out when I drove by so I made it a point to check it out.
Glad I did!
This place has a fun, cute and refreshing interior. There were red velvet cakes on the side to sample which were…More »
27. The Salty Pig
If you love piggies, this is the place to go where the vibe is cool but without being pretentious. Charcuterie platters are the way to go here. For lunch there were three options and I opted for the Tamworth which came with proscuitto, gemilli,…More »
28. Thinking Cup
I am so happy that I found this place. Every time I visit a city, I try to find an indie cafe so I made it a point to come here.
The lattes here are fantastic (beans from Stumptown) and yes, the latte art is beautiful. I ordered a small latte and…More »
29. Lynn-Kai Chao Photography
Again, through Yelp, I found Lynn-Kai. I had a civil ceremony wedding which he has never done before and more than willing to accommodate us and at a reasonable price. He's easy going, super nice and responsive. You can really tell that he cares…More »
30. Yelp's Endless Summer Nights @ Garden Court Hotel
My very first Yelp event and it was awesome!
There was plenty of apps going around and the chocolate fondue fountain was amazing. The Garden Court Hotel was classy and the rooms were spacious so it was never too crowded.
Partybooth was the highlight -…More »
31. Yelp's Field Trip!
I had a fantastic time at Uforia! Signing in was easy and Jason, the Yelp intern, had wrist bands and water for us.
The "trip" was Zumba class which I've never tried before so I didn't know what exactly to expect. The instructor gave us a pretty…More »
