1. Cooper's CSA Farm & Maze
Just 1 hour from Toronto, this we came up to the farm for something fun and different to do a Sunday October Pumpkin weekend.
It's a family friendly farm, with animals (goats, boars, rabbits and some chickens? with a dog guarding them), wagon rides…More »
2. Tattoo Rock Parlour
Toronto, ON M5V 2B6
Categories:
Tattoo,
Music Venues
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Queen Street West
3.5
I had an excellent time here but I think mostly because we were smart and very lucky. Tonight, an impromptu decision brought us here.
This Saturday was the busiest night of the year (Halloween) and extremely crowded. Makes me wonder if all nights…More »
3. Panasonic Theatre
Toronto, ON M4Y 1Z9
(416) 928-5963
Category:
Performing Arts
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
I've been here a few times for shows, and although not the most glamourous but it's in a convenient location, with tons of parking options (best bet, is at the underground parkade on Charles Street - not Manulife Centre - that's $4.25 flat rate after…More »
4. Soup & A Sandwich
2.5
Came here for lunch today. It caught our attention because there's not that many places you can get soups on this area. It's mostly just Japanese, Burrito or Falafel places.
At 11:45am, we were the first customers. They had 4 different soups…More »
5. AMC Yonge & Dundas 24
Toronto, ON M5B 2G9
(416) 977-9262
Category:
Cinema
Neighbourhoods: Ryerson, Downtown Core
Remember those movie theatres that used to be in the Eaton Centre, which is now the home of Old Navy and H&M? I remember going there and paying $5.00 on tuesdays to see a movie, maybe two, and the theatres ranged from Large two stories (no bigger…More »
6. Bistro Seven Seven
I think this was one of the best meals I've had in a while. The prices are good and the portions you get are at least double you'd get in the city. The ingredients are fresh and you can tell. The menunis traditional yet unique. Oh man, if your in…More »
7. Pure + Simple
Toronto, ON M5R 2G3
(416) 924-6555
I come to Pure and Simple when my regular esthetician isn't available. I like their all natural products, and how they specialize in face care only.
Also, the prices are good.
Having already been to the Eglinton location, they had my name in their…More »
8. Sushi Queen Izakaya
Toronto, ON M5G 1H3
(416) 979-3288
Category:
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhoods: Discovery District, Downtown Core
We ordered delivery from here, but I think next time we'd order from Sushi on Bloor. The menu prices were about the same, and we didn't really order any izakaya appetizers.
There's a good combo there for $13.95 that comes with a full tempura dish,…More »
9. Vera Wang
I was prepared for a terrible experience coming in here, but it was okay.
I came in for my 1pm appointment with my mom, and saw two girls just finishing. Although we had to wait for the girl previous to leave, it was okay as we got a chance to browse…More »
10. Over the Rainbow
I strolled in here just before closing, hoping to find some nice over the knee boots. Sadly this was lacking, but ended up walking out with a read acrylic circle scarf ($20) and fleece lined fingerless mittens with cover ($25)
I love the styles and…More »
11. Coach Men Outlet
Did you know Coach actually started out in men's wear? Not sure if this one is new or not, but across from the Canadian Coach Outlet, there is a men's wear.
They've got duffles, messenger bags, laptop cases, belts (including reversible, $46),…More »
12. The Body Shop
I don't regularly shop at Body Shop, espeically ever since all those other competitiors are far superior and have better scents.
Nonetheless, I came in here, looking for some good deals on accessories, and that's exactly what I found. Loofahs for $3.…More »
13. Vogue Sposa Bridal Boutique
I do very much like the location and the store itself here, however, the exterior is deceiving. Although it looks tall and a large two story store, it's really only one floor.
There weren't as many dresses here as I thought, but there were many…More »
14. Dixie Park
I come here for a quick work lunch. They have a diverse no frills food court here that serves up Chinese, Vietnamese and Japanese food. My favourite is Lemongrass kitchen, with an assortment of chinese dishes all for $5-10. And the portions are big…More »
15. Fallsview Casino Resort
Stayed here for one night, compliments of my Mom's Player's Advantage Card. With free parking, plenty of entertainment (i.e. casino) and a big spacious room (with a fallsview), this mid week stay was a great getaway.
Want freebies? Such the PAC card,…More »

I highly suggest anyone that comes here more than once or even goes to Casino Niagara (becuase they… Read more »
16. Labyrinth Lounge
A quick venue change for a Yelp event landed us here. Like for most, it was hard to find, and I needed to have someone tell me that L.A.B. = Labyrinth Lounge. Not sure why this is the case.
If you're in a parking lot, you've gone too far.
With shots…More »
17. Windsor Arms Hotel Tea Room
Toronto, ON M5S 3E7
(416) 971-9666
Category:
Tea Rooms
Neighbourhoods: Discovery District, Yorkville, Downtown Core
Thanks to a good friend, my mom and I had gift certificate to the Tea Room. We came here on a Saturday night (6pm) which was their last seating. I get that it was the last seating, but there were some things that were unacceptable. Granted, we were…More »
18. Sherway Gardens
Etobicoke, ON M9C 1B8
(416) 621-1070
Category:
Shopping Centres
Neighbourhood: Etobicoke
I like it because it's a simple layout (figure 8), great shops, does not feel dirty, and still has the cozy feel of a mall without being too commercialized.
It's a great place to take parents shopping and not be bombarded with a ton of people.
The…More »

19. Iyashi Bedrock Spa
Now this is a Spa.
With that glowing review from Jennifer K. I had to check it out. Especially since there was a Groupon!
Even from entering into the Spa, there is a sense of tranquility.
The large change changeroom, has lockers, a seating area,…More »
20. Cam's Place
Came here for Brunch (they serve it til 4pm) after a relaxing few hours at the Iyashi Bedrock Spa across the street. After spending a lot of time on Yelp, trying to find a good place to have lunch in the area, this was all that came up.
I was pleased…More »
21. NAILSENSE
My first experience at Nailsense this weekend! It was my pamper day finale after a morning at the Iyashi Bedrock Spa. It'd been a long time she coming since I don't live in the area, but it's something I would definitely I would make the trip up.
I…More »
22. Ponte Vecchio
This is one of the fancier restaurants in the Fallsview Casino complex, but it wasn't spectacular, at least for the price.
We did come here compliments of my mom's Player's Advantage card, cashback and VIP credits, but I would never want to come here…More »
23. Man Doo Hyang
This hidden gem in Mississauga gets you authentic Korean food at downtown prices. It's not your typical Chinese owned, with Japanese fusion type place, and you'll get more than just Japchae, Bimbimbap and Bulgolgi.
One of their specialities is their…More »
24. Fran's Restaurant
Toronto, ON M5E 1G4
(647) 352-3300
Category:
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhoods: St. Lawrence, Downtown Core
As a former frequent visitor of the Victoria street location, I wasn't surprised the service today wasn't adequate, I guess that's consistent with the management. This was a 2 star review turned 3 star due to the nice way that they split the bill…More »
25. Fifth Social Club
Toronto, ON M5V 1W2
(416) 979-3000
Categories:
Dance Clubs,
Lounges
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
It was my first time here in a while, let's just say before they renovated.
I like to get to clubs early because I hate waiting in line. And the semi-fullness of a club is the best. It's the calm before the storm where you can actually hear each…More »
26. The Bay
Toronto, ON M5C 2L7
(416) 861-9111
Category:
Department Stores
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
The flagship store has had a major overhaul in the last few years. Now you'll see Major luxury brands including Laboutins and Armani to Top Shop, BCBG and Anne Klien. They have lots is selection at the makeup counters including Loccitane and…More »

27. Urban Eatery at the Eaton Centre
Toronto, ON M5B 2L7
(416) 598-8560
Category:
Fast Food
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
Wow, let's welcome the Eaton Centre to the 21'st century. It's about time their food court got an update like this, and this should be the standard for all mall food courts.
Although, overwhelming at first, especially if you remember what it used to…More »
28. Your Dollar With More
North York, ON M3H 2S1
(416) 631-6506
Although it's considered a dollar store, you can find almost anything in here, but they usually cost more than just a dollar. Despite it's false advertising, it's still a one stop shop for most of your needs.
I come here for party decorations -…More »
29. The Caribbean Dutchpot
Believe it or not, I've actually never had Jerk Chicken in a Roti before. So that being said, I wasn't sure what to expect or how it's prepared. It was a weird feeling to walk in there completely blind, but there's a first for everything.
I walked in,…More »
30. Yonge-Dundas Square
Toronto, ON M5G 2C2
(416) 979-9960
Categories:
Local Flavour,
Landmarks & Historical Buildings
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
This cluster-mess of lights and billboards and tall buildings are reminiscent of a slightly cleaner Time Square. It's smaller and more crowded. Time Square is entire intersection of a few streets; this is just one corner.
It's awfully bright, and you…More »
31. Eaton Centre Skybridge
This review is only being written because it exists.
Its a great connection between the mess of Eaton Centre and the Bay, all without putting my coat on, or diving into the dirtyness of Queen Street, being bombarded by bums or the hotdog vendor.

32. Bar Vespa
Toronto, ON M6K 3K4
(416) 533-8377
After hearing raving reviews about this place from the last (and missed) elite event, I had to find a time to check it out!
Driving along at night, we almost missed it. It's in the Brazen Head pub plaza. Free parking after 6pm in front, or around the…More »
33. Starbucks
This seemingly small Starbucks opened up recently, and it's terrible, you shouldn't come here.

Okay, fine. It was one of the best SBx that I've ever been to but I want to keep it a secret.
High ceilings, and ample working space, including a nice…More »
34. Niagara Falls
Hello Niagara, you are my 600th review.
This is not only the honeymoon capital of the world (I'm really not sure why), but also the weekend getaway of many Toronto and environs residents.
Of course, if you've never been here, it's worth walking along…More »
