My 30-Day Yelp-athon: Nov
See All Lists
1. Dr Stanley Waese, Orthodontist
Dr Stanley Waese was my orthodontist way back when I had braces.
He is extremely patient-centred and has excellent communication skills to put you at ease. His staff is also very professional and well-trained.
He goes out of his way to explain what…More »
2. 720 King West Dental
I've been coming here for about a year now after Yelp's excellent recommendation. My previous dentist was unclear and his staff were pretty sketchy, scheduling appointments for me without my knowledge.
The staff at at 720 King West are amazing.…More »
3. TD Canada Trust
While I've been to many TD branches, I want to highlight this one for their regularly excellent service.
I've visited this branch several times for some personal and business transactions and the CSRs are always extremely professional and friendly. I…More »
4. Dulhan Toronto
Richmond Hill, ON L4B 2N1
(905) 707-1955
Categories:
Accessories,
Women's Clothing
This review has been a long time coming. I've purchased a few outfits from Dulhan's over the past few years and I've always been thrilled with each outfit.
The staff makes an effort to give each client personal attention, and the variety of styles at…More »
5. Holt Renfrew
Toronto, ON M4W 3L8
(416) 922-2333
Category:
Department Stores
Neighbourhoods: Yorkville, Downtown Core
Like any other area of Yorkville I avoid this location during TIFF unless I want the tourist experience of celeb-spotting.
Yet, this Holt's location has the. best. cosmetics and perfume section ever. Staff is attentive and walk through the variety of…More »
6. Flipdog Yoga
Flipdog Yoga trumps Moksha yoga.
Everything at this studio subtly told me Flipdog does it better than Moksha in every aspect, as though looking for a challenge. The studio is located in a small 3 level commercial building with parking space in the…More »
7. Starbucks Coffee
I've been visiting this location off and on for the past 5 years or so during my university years and onwards.
This location is awesome because:
5) It's in a great location, close to Glendon College, businesses and restaurants (Also near the DVP and…More »
8. Maki Sushi
Food: This place gets an extra star for the variety of rolls and options in their lunch menu. None of the AYCE restaurants anywhere near the area have as good of a menu.
The rolls themselves weren't bad for AYCE quality.
Service: Here's where Maki…More »
9. Happy Bagel Bakery
Happy Bagel reminds me of H&H bagel on the Upper West Side. They offers croissants, cookies (the black & white cookie), breads, streudel, pies, different beverages and of course, bagels.
I loved that they also do nutella spreads on bagel, including…More »
10. Menchies Frozen Yogurt
This Menchie's location is pretty great since it provides an awesome alternative to the usual suspects. Though, I wish I had more options for the actual frozen yogurt it should be noted that I am a capitalist pig and no amount of choice is ever…More »
11. Spynga
Now here is a studio that really gets the yoga fusion trend and takes it to a whole new level of awesome. I can't believe I didn't write this review earlier.
Spynga is the lean, well-toned love child of an intense spin class and a balanced, calming…More »
12. India's Taste
I'm not a fan of this restaurant. I've been here more than a few times for lunch and dinner and I have never been wowed. I'm always surprised when friends rave and insist on coming here.
True, they have a wide variety of options but quality always…More »
13. Fallsview Casino Resort
Since this review is an equal three part experience, I will review each aspect individually. I don't head out to the niagara falls area often, but when I do, I try to make it a point to try new digs each time.
Fallsview is easily the nicer and more…More »
14. Bagel & Bean
New York, NY 10019
USA
(212) 245-6360
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Bagels
Neighbourhood: Midtown West
This is a great deli for breakfast and a quick lunch. With 3-4 employees, they run a tight ship, taking orders and preparing breakfast wrap/bagel. I waited about 3 minutes for my breakfast bagel and it was pretty good.
The bagel itself was chewy and…More »
15. Buffalo Niagara International Airport
This airport could definitely take a few lessons from other smaller airports on how to manage high traffic times. Though the airport is extremely easy to navigate, the security system is painfully uncoordinated with flight schedules. TSA agents are…More »
16. Pinkberry
New York, NY 10001
USA
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhoods: Midtown West, Koreatown
I wandered into Pinkberry to kill time before my waitlist at BCD Tofu House on friday night. As much as I enjoy a healthy dose of froyo every so often, it seems as though new york is suffering from frozen yogurt overdose. This hazard helps explain…More »
17. Papaya King
New York, NY 10028
USA
(212) 369-0648
Categories:
Juice Bars & Smoothies,
Hot Dogs
Neighbourhoods: Yorkville, Upper East Side
Came here for a juice and smoothie break the other day and I was pleasantly surprised. For freshly made juice in Manhattan the prices were amazing. The smoothie, Papaya Pride, wasn't the best I've ever had but it makes a great working snack.
-1 star…More »
18. Bravo Pizza
I don't really agree with all the 5 stars reviews for Bravo Pizza. I tried the stuffed chicken and broccoli variety as well as the NY style veggie slice.
Let me put it this way, -Lombardi's puts every pizza parlour to shame, but this wasn't even…More »
19. The Kati Roll Company
New York, NY 10012
USA
(212) 420-6497
Category:
Indian
Neighbourhood: Greenwich Village
Although I don't understand why Kati Roll company isn't just a food truck, the concept is pretty awesome. A choice of parantha or roti is given and stuffed with your choice of around ten items, including chicken, egg, beef, paneer or vegetable. The…More »
20. EuroPan
Manhattan, NY 10024
USA
(212) 496-6100
This is definitely a solid cafe joint to visit for a snack or a quick lunch taken to go. It's pretty average considering the quality of coffee and cookies, but the slice of pizza I had here was better than the specialty pizzeria on the East side of…More »
21. BCD Tofu House - CLOSED
New York, NY 10001
USA
(212) 967-1900
Category:
Korean
Neighbourhoods: Midtown West, Koreatown
I totally get the long wait times.
I came here on a Friday night to enjoy some hard core Soon Tofu Soup. There were about 20-30 people ahead of us in line so we went to Pinkberry down the street to kill time.
An hour later we were seated and excited…More »
22. 53rd and 6th Halal Cart
New York, NY 10019
USA
Categories:
Food Stands,
Halal,
Street Vendors
Neighbourhoods: Midtown West, Theater District
The line up situation is explained by a taste of anything they sell, really. During the both times I lined up for this cart it was pretty hilarious to see curious faces on bystanders, what with the 40 people in line for some gyro or lamb on rice.

23. Woodstock ONroute
So the new 401 trend involves the complete overhaul of single restaurant service stops to multi-restaurant mini monsters. This new one is LEED-certified, has free wifi. Travelers will find the clean washrooms and comfortable seats to be a blessing,…More »
24. Yogurty's
This outlet differs from Menchie's in that I found the options for the froyo itself more vast, but the taste and quality were much better here.
I tried both the Red Velvet and Tart flavours and they both tasted exactly how you would expect. A good…More »
25. Jamba Juice
New York, NY 10019
USA
(212) 247-9291
Category:
Juice Bars & Smoothies
Neighbourhoods: Midtown West, Theater District
I love a well made fresh juice every so often and Jamba juice delivers. The real question is, -what's in the carrot juice? It seems just too sweet to be limited to carrots alone.
As for the location, it's excellent and the service is extremely…More »
26. Hummus Place
New York, NY 10023
USA
(212) 799-3335
Categories:
Vegetarian,
Middle Eastern
Neighbourhood: Upper West Side
After an entire day of walking and shopping we settled in at Hummus Place for a relaxing and quiet dinner.
As it happens, I enjoy Mediterranean food immensely so Hummus Place didn't have to extend itself to sell me the concept. We were seated right…More »
27. Grapefruit Moon
Toronto, ON M5R 3G6
(416) 534-9056
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: The Annex, Seaton Village
I'm a sucker for comfort food and Grapefruit Moon delivers.
I've tried their sandwiches (Hoser, eh? and B.L.T), all day breakfast and fish and chips. Though not everything is out-of-this-world amazing, it's been very good.
They make really good…More »
28. Uniqlo
New York, NY 10103
USA
(877) 486-4756
Categories:
Women's Clothing,
Men's Clothing
Neighbourhood: Midtown West
Uniqlo is pretty much a place of worship for lovers of basics at ridic prices. Though I've noticed the brand might be more appealing for guys, the Jil Sander collaboration is pretty awesome. Every time I head down to Uniqlo I stock up on textured…More »
29. Dufflet Pastries
I stopped by Dufflet Pastry with the lovely Janna S. before our event at Nailsense this month. Though their hours are not really ideal, they seem to be the norm in this area (and Leslieville).
I may be in the minority but I truly wish the independent…More »
30. Lombardi's Pizza
Lombardi's is easily worth a two-hour wait. I'm pretty surprised that this tourist 'trap' is an amazing restaurant in itself. Even without the hype, the good people of Lombardi whip up a mean pie. I love a good deep dish pizza every now and then, but…More »
