Shanghai Cowgirl's delicious comfort food rarely disappoint me.
I've eaten here dozens of times and have noshed on almost every single item on the menu (I'll admit that I haven't tried the Liver and Onions but I'm gonna).
My recommendations are the…More »

Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Niagara
This neighbourhood cafe is a welcome addition to the plethora of mega-chained coffee shops in the area. It's also extremely helpful that this little gem is just a few steps from my front door.
Inside the place is cozy with dark wooden chairs and…More »

Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhood: Niagara
The Wine Rack serves as a great place to buy wine and spirits when your local LCBO is too far to travel to.
These stores sell specifically Ontario products, so it is somewhat limiting if you were looking for something more exotic. However you can…More »

On a busy arty street of gourmet hamburger restos, fashion boutiques and rock bars is a great little art supply store called Curry's.
Inside is cramped, but aren't all Curry's like this? Every single store I've stepped into are stocked to the gills…More »

Thanks to Devyn G's ROTD of this place, I was pleasantly reminded at how great the Done Right Inn is, and how I should visit more often.
I made a point to meet a friend there the other night, knowing that they would share my attraction to the bar's…More »

In recent weeks I've come here a few times and each experience has satisfied me.
This place has changed owners so many times that it's hard to keep track. Or, maybe it's just the staff that has changed but I feel like I've interracted with some nice…More »

Hair Salons
Neighbourhoods: High Park, Roncesvalles
Toronto's best named salon has moved!
I had an appointment to see my favourite stylist at Grateful Dead's new location in the Roncesvalles Village. The size of the new salon is about the same as their former one with a few decor differences.

When Suspect Video's Queen West location burnt down in February 2008, I was heartbroken.
It was not only a blow to the neighbourhood and the store owners, but it was a tragic end to a great collection of forgotten celluloid gems. I'm unsure as to how…More »

If you're ever in a pinch, Wong's a good place to stock up on your basic grocery needs.
Outside, you can find stalls of fresh fruit, vegetables and fresh cut flowers. Inside, you can find more fruit and vegetables, and also spinach, mixed greens,…More »
I live near the Trinity-Bellwoods neighbourhood and have been wondering who was going to occupy the corner space of Queen West and Gore Vale Avenue. The building, once a professional photography studio, is now the home of - wait for it - a pastry…More »
When it comes to eating raw fish, I definitely want the freshest cut on my sushi plate.
This little resto may appear to be nothing spectactular from the outside. I was sort of deterred from going thanks to its nearby location to the "lovely" Palace…More »

Coffee & Tea

I don't come here often but it's a café that I do enjoy visiting from time to time.
It's a lovely café, decorated with salvaged materials and sturdy wood tables. The term "cozy" can be used to describe it. When it's quiet, it's laid back, but when…More »

For used and new vinyl, CDs and magazines, Rotate This is an excellent music store that isn't your typical music store chain.
I usually stop by at this store once a week. My credit card company loves me for this.

Sewing & Alterations

Leave it to me to have things done at the last minute. I needed to get one of my fancy dresses altered (shortened and hemmed) for a wedding I attended recently. The wedding was on Friday and I thought of what to wear four days prior. To avoid stress…More »
What more can I say about Clafouti that hasn't already been said? Their croissants are the best on the Queen West strip, in my humble opinion. I've heard Patachou has the best Parisian-style croissants in the city but they're a little far for me to…More »

It pains me to have to write that but it's unfortunately true. Square Fruit was part of my local: They were my grocer where I'd buy my fresh fruit and vegetables every other day, and where I'd pick up a bouquet of fresh cut flowers that…More »
