New Neighbourhood (Danforth & Main)
See All Lists
1. Diamond Pizza
Toronto, ON M4J 1N1
(416) 269-1269
So this is one of the local places in our new 'hood!
We drove by it a few times making trips back and forth from the old place... you can tell just by looking at it that it's going to be GREAT or TERRIBLE. Obviously, I mean, for what it is... the…More »
2. Noah's Ark
Holy crap. This was a crazy, crazy experience. Just BIZARRE.
We're in the middle of moving. Noah's Ark Pub was the most obvious or noticeable establishment near our new place, and we wanted to take a break from heavy lifting for a drink and maybe a…More »
3. Double Sushi
Toronto, ON M4C 1M1
(416) 698-2168
Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: The Danforth
WOW. So this is apparently another hidden gem in our new 'hood! SCORE!
My Mom was visiting for the weekend and had a craving for sushi, so I did a little "interweb" sleuthing and found the closest two sushi joints. But the other one had a couple of…More »
4. Metro Hound Dogwash & Dog Gear
Toronto, ON M4E 1T3
(416) 693-2951
Categories:
Pet Stores,
Pet Services
Neighbourhood: Upper Beach
AMAZING little boutique! Visited it for the first time today, and will DEFINITELY be going back soon!
I was at our new vet for the first time, and after my dog's yearly injections and a new medicine, I needed to stick around the vet's office for 30-45…More »
5. Bistro Camino
Valentine's Day 2011 - Our first time eating out in the new 'hood!
Made the reservations weeks in advance, read every review in existence, all signs pointed to a wonderful evening. I was SO EXCITED!
Mr. Rosie S. even put on a dress shirt! He knew I had…More »
6. Loblaws Supermarkets Limited
My favourite grocery store in our new 'hood.
And believe me - we have HUGE choice - within a 5- to 7-minute drive of our place, we have Metro, Sobeys, Valu-Mart, a new FreshCo, Price Chopper and No Frills (not that I'd go to wither of those last…More »
7. Kew Gardens
Great (and HUGE), fenced off-leash park at the foot of Lee Avenue...
It was a hot, humid day today and it was GORGEOUS by the water (not suffocating like up on the Danforth where we live).
We were there around 3 p.m., and it wasn't very busy.
There was…More »
8. LCBO
Scarborough, ON M1L 1A9
(416) 699-7003
Category:
Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhood: Scarborough
WOW. There are clearly NO Yelpers around my 'hood... none of my regular spots have been reviewed yet!
So: Our new local LCBO.
It isn't the biggest, nor the smallest, LCBO you'll find. Small to mid-sized, I would say. But more on the small side...
They…More »
9. Shoppers World
East York, ON M4C 1M9
(416) 698-2447
Categories:
Shopping Centres,

Neighbourhood: East York
So. I've sort of reviewed this plaza already, via my reviews of the businesses in this plaza:
SHOPPERS DRUG MART

DOLLARAMA
http://www.yelp.ca/biz...
BULK BARN
http://www.yelp.ca/biz...
Basically, the roster of stores/businesses is…More »
10. Canadian Tire
Toronto, ON M4C 1L4
(416) 690-6666
Category:
Hardware Stores
Neighbourhood: The Danforth
WORST. CANADIAN. TIRE. EVER.
And that says a lot, because most of them are pretty crappy. Mr. Rosie S.'s Dad and Uncle David call it "Crappy Tire", in fact.
This one seems to be constantly in a state of semi-construction or store rearrangement...…More »
11. Domino's Pizza
Scarborough, ON M1L 3G7
(416) 755-1144
So. I figure the highest rating a pizza CHAIN can get is 3 stars. So they get a perfect rating!
In terms of "fast food" or chain pizza, I think I am now a Domino's convert (after years of resistance to Mr. Rosie S.'s claims that Domino's beats Pizza…More »
12. Alliance Cinemas The Beach
We went to see "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" here on Sunday afternoon. Sunday afternoon of the weekend the movie came out... we booked our tickets online to be sure they didn't sell out, and went 45 minutes early to ensure we got seats. My friend…More »
13. Classic Tan
Great customer service.
I am a very hard customer to upsell, but she ended up seling me a three-tan package. Good on you, girl! It also came with two free, full-sized products: a spray-on prep to use before tanning, and a cream for afterwards. THIS…More »
14. V-8 Convenience & Variety
East York, ON M4C 5B6
(416) 699-4495
Category:
Convenience Stores
Neighbourhood: East York
There's a huge back story. If you haven't read about my wintry emergency and the terrible experience down the street at Daisy Mart, please see said back story:
http://www.yelp.ca/biz...
So after that, I ran (crying) over to V-8, and he (OF COURSE) let…More »
15. Daisy Mart
East York, ON M4C 5B9
(416) 686-4233
Category:
Convenience Stores
Neighbourhood: East York
I must appeal to my fellow Yelpers not to support this business. It is run by heartless, rude and actively mean people. Or at least the grunting matriarch is. She's the reason to steer clear, and the reason I am encouraging potential customers to…More »
16. Shoppers Drug Mart
Best service I've had from a Shoppers Pharmacy since I moved to TO. Love that.
They all remember who I am, whether I'm calling something in or showing up at the counter. I like that.
Great selection of upscale cosmetics and grocery/food at this…More »
17. Dollarama
One of the smallest, most crowded and badly laid-out Dollaramas to which I've been. It's messy, and there are always a bajillion people. Maybe they do have off hours, but I've never seen it! The line-ups are always soooo long, even when they have all…More »
18. Bulk Barn
Toronto, ON M4C 1M7
(416) 686-9053
Categories:
Dollar Store,
Specialty Food,
Grocery
Neighbourhood: East York
I love Bulk Barn, so it's tough to mess up on this one... I suppose if you were out of stock of everything all the time, or were small or stinky... that would be off-putting... but not here!
Great customer service - everyone here is friendly. They're…More »
19. Pizza Pizza

Categories:

Fast Food
Neighbourhood: The Danforth
I am updating my review to use my new pizza rating system!
I also have to admit that I have become a convert to Domino's.
Crust Texture: Bread-like; not particularly chewy or crispy. Average-airy.
Crust Flavor: Not cardboard-like. More sweet than salty.…More »

Yeah, we like Pizza Pizza. So sue us. As far as fast food delivery goes, I am a veghead and Mr.… Read more »
20. Pet Valu Discount Pet Foods
I'm working my way through all the businesses at this plaza!
This is a very small, very food-oriented Pet Valu.
There is basically NO clothing for sale, though the selection of treats and toys is A-OK.
They do stock our Malik's Wellness Super5 Mix for…More »
21. Honey-Bee Restaurant
You know what? I had really low expectations going in... so that helps.
This place was just fine! It's been in the Beach for 30 years... amazing!
I was feeling too lazy to cook, and it was nearing 8 p.m., so we went to http://just-eat.ca and looked at…More »
22. Toronto East General Hospital
East York, ON M4C 3E7
(416) 461-8272
Categories:
Medical Clinics,
Hospitals
Neighbourhood: East York
So. My first visit!
We have driven past many times and identified a few routes to our NEW closest hospital, East General. I have severe allergies as well as asthma, so it's always imperative that we have plans for any situation, including driving to…More »

I am AMAZED and AGOG that this is BeachMac's first review! MacPeeps in the MacBeach, check this place out!
Staff are wonderful - friendly, funny, and - wow - they know Macs. Both of the employees I met were young males (appropriately and adorably…More »
24. Beach Fairway Golf Range
Scarborough, ON M4E 3T3
(416) 686-4101
So. Mr. Rosie S. and I drive by this place almost daily on our way to or from the grocery store... so today we finally decided to check it out!
Only $7.50 to play the 18-hole mini-putt! WOHOO!
Nothing to complain about... a weird little hidden gem…More »
25. Sausage Partners
AWESOME! Joining the ranks of the Leslieville/Beaches gourmet movement is Sausage Partners (snicker, snicker, I know...) - and I do think the name warrants all the jeers and comments they will get. BUT don't judge a book by its title!
Decided to…More »
