These are places that make me feel warm and fuzzy on the inside. I venture here often.

 1. IKEA

200 Interchange Way
Vaughan, ON L4K 5C3
(866) 372-4532
4.0 star rating
  2/3/2010 First to Review

When food is this cheap, I almost feel like I don't have a right to complain. I had the fish and chips for $5.99. They were average. Nothing to write grandma and rave about. But it's IKEA...for dinner. I can't expect much. The dessert though was…More »

Partial to this location. It has all the same amenities as most Shoppers locations, minus the Canada Post. Bonus points for being the rare ones that stays open past 6pm in the underground. Also the sales people have always been friendly to me, no…More »

I love a place where they know my order. They probably don't know my name & I can't remember theirs. Still the BS ladies know a lot about me. One knows that if I'm there twice in one day, my second bagel will be tuna salad. That I love grape juice.…More »

  Update - 1/9/2010

I stayed here for New Year's eve and noticed they changed their room service options. They have about 6 late night items and 6 breakfast items. And instead of being served the meal hot and fresh, they send you a box of your food that you can…More »

  Update - 12/6/2009

Based on Lindsey S's review of the poutine, I went back to get an order. I was NOT disappointed! The poutine was so ooey gooey good. I was shovelling it into my mouth so quickly on the train up to Yorkdale that the couple across from me gave me a…More »

It's a small but efficient location. I love the pharmacy here. They're open till 9pm on weekdays and they're really great at explaining the medication. I would rather fill my prescriptions here than at Shoppers.

Only downfall is it doesn't have a…More »

This place is tucked right at the bottom of the escalator from my work place to the underground. Seeing as how I'm lazy all the time, I was intrigued at going here due to its proximity. I then saw the line that snaked outside and around the corner…More »

I ordered lunch takeout from here after dining at its fabu sister restaurant, Katsu. I went with the Ichiban Maki set (6 pcs tempura shrimp tobiko rolls, 6 pcs spicy tuna rolls, 6 pcs L.A. Rolls--salmon, crab, shrimp, tobiko, cucumber). The lady on…More »

SSB: secret single behaviour. Any SATC lover (or one who's had to hear about the show) knows it's things we do when we're alone that we wouldn't do in front of our partners. Dominos supplies my SSB trait #1: consuming one large thin crust pizza in a…More »

I'm obsessed with the Breakfast Wrap. Literally. Everyone who knows me usually knows that if I'm out of bed before 2pm on the weekend, it's because I went to Yorkdale to buy a breakfast wrap. It's the perfect combo of egg, salsa, cheese, and avocado…More »

In high school, I was once made fun of for my love of eating just toppings. I would take all my fav burger toppings, throw it in a bowl, and munch away. Same goes for taco toppings. My mom thought that maybe I was having a weird pregnancy craving. Of…More »

Recently updated lists from Nicole B.

Virgin Territory (22)

You always remember your first...unless it involved alcohol

Places I would send R**** from high school (15)

R**** was my sworn enemy from grades 11 to OAC. I would send her to these places because they suck and because I went to an all-girls school so I totally know about revenge and stuff.

Cold as Ice! (16)

The places I like that blast the AC

My Decemburger journey/Mon voyage de décemburgère (7)

Can I handle 22 burger spots in one month? As Decemburger bears upon me, I set myself up to sample what may be the best (or worst) burgers of my life.

Washington, DC (9)

The places I visited on my last trip

Sush-sush-sushi-ooooo! (8)

My best and worst

Sugar Coma (5)

Desserts so good, I wouldn't share with my mom.

Man, I feel like a Woman! (10)

Every female should have a place (or two) that makes her feel good about herself, both inside and out. As Shakira would say, release your inner She-Wolf! These places not only make me feel good about myself but slightly empowered. Now, if only I could get that dang Shakira song out of my head!

Thunderstorms? Pshaw! (6)

I believe thunderstorms should only be enjoyed from the comfort of my bed. But if I did go out, it would only be to these places.

Cut-eye and Steups (3)

I'm judgmental when it comes to my own culture's food!
