1. The Artscape Wychwood Barns
Toronto, ON M6G 4C7
(416) 392-1038
Categories:
Performing Arts,
Art Galleries
Neighbourhood: Wychwood
This is probably one of the best things to happen to the neighbourhood in recent history. Grand opening was November 2008 and it hasn't looked back since.
The space is a reclaimed TTC barn and has five 'barns' each labeled with giant steel…More »
2. Parpar Boutique
Toronto, ON M6G 3E8
(416) 657-3333
Categories:
Women's Clothing,
Cards & Stationery
Neighbourhood: Wychwood
With its bright pink storefront and delightful inventory, Parpar has stood the test of time. It moved in maybe five or six years ago just as the neighbourhood was on the upswing and before Hillcrest appeared in that issue of Toronto Life as one of…More »
3. Boubah's Pet Store
The owners Maureen and Llewellyn named the store after their dog and while I don't see them as often in the store these days, the young people they've hired to mind the store are friendly, helpful and competent. (I think they started out as co-op…More »
4. Hillcrest Park
Toronto, ON
Categories:
Tennis,
Playgrounds,
Dog Parks
Neighbourhood: Wychwood
Good ol' Hillcrest Park services a pretty large surrounding neighbourhood. For a city park it is a great size - just big enough to kick a ball around on, but small enough so that you can be heard if you had to shout at a dependent from across the…More »
5. Knitomatic
Toronto, ON M5R 3J1
(416) 653-7849
Category:
Knitting Supplies
Neighbourhoods: Casa Loma, Wychwood
There's a couple things you discover once you start knitting: 1) There's a whole sub-culture complete with a new dialect like LYS, UFOs, frogging, tinking etc and 2) it can get expensive.
Knitomatic would be considered my local yarn store (LYS) and…More »
6. Mutts & Cats
Strategically located beside a veterinary office, Mutts & Cats is a cute little addition to the St. Clair West strip. Owner Rosemary is friendly and eager to meet the needs of the local pet owners.
She carries premium brands of cat and dog foods, a…More »

Categories:
Children's Clothing,
Baby Gear & Furniture
Neighbourhood: Wychwood
More of a 3.5
Good selection of miscellaneous baby rearing necessities and luxuries. The left wall is covered with those knick-knacks you don't even know exist until you have a baby (like Sophie the giraffe, stroller caddies, bottle nipples, sippy…More »
8. Buy and Sell
This is not the antique store from the movies with artfully displayed spinning wheels and charming roll-top desks. This is an enter at your own risk, go digging for that treasure type of establishment. If you think shopping at Winners is too much…More »
Recently updated lists from Jing K.
I see ROTD and think of LOTR (6)Well, I guess two points make a line, three make a triangle, four a quadrangle and also a list! |
Trade Secrets (photography) (2)But not so secret anymore. Here are the businesses that help me better my photography business. (Started Jan '11 - sorry just two things right now. I've just been so secretive about my other places so stay tuned). |
Fool me once, shame on me. (2)A list to remind myself of places not to bother with again. |
Boring reviews (3 stars) (5)I realize that I don't have many 3 star reviews because they are boring to write. I will try to be a good yelper and catch up a bit and also make a list while I am at it. These aren't all my 3 star reviews but they were all a chore to write. |
If my dogs could type... (9)they would yelp (woof?) about these places. Kafrey and Six are two active, fun-loving, large mutts who may look like they love everything but actually have very discriminating taste. |
Eat, Drink, St. Clair West (8)It's a good thing I like to cook or else I'd be fat and broke from these places! |
Would YOU share the last bite? (4)The food at these places are so enjoyable that I wouldn't even consider sharing the last bite with my sweet little baby girl. (Don't worry, the kid is far from deprived, it's just that the last morsel is to be enjoyed for myself). |
Down-East Bound (5)Just about every year for the past five years we've driven down to New Brunswick for a visit. Here are some of the places we enjoy. |
The Stockyards Area (5)No, not the BBQ joint I frequent. I'm referring to that area north of the Junction deep in the western wilds of St. Clair where the 512 ends and where there is a touch of suburban big-box sprawl. |
Tim-hits and tim-misses (3)Yes their coffee tastes like dishwater but you can't escape this Canadian institution. Some locations are better than others. These are the ones I know. |
