November is my b*tch(kinda) a/k/a November 26 day Yelp Challenge
See All Lists
1. Camros Organic Eatery
Toronto, ON M4Y 2P2
(416) 960-0723
Categories:
Gluten-Free,
Vegetarian,
Persian/Iranian
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
With positve reviews that I'd bookmarked from Yelp in mind, on a hungry mission afterwork one day I decided to try well revered Camros Organic Eatery.
Tucked away from the freakshow sketchiness of the Yonge street strip, on Hayden street beside a…More »
2. Shoppers Drug Mart
Toronto, ON M5V 2E5
(416) 979-3903
Category:
Drugstores
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Queen Street West, Downtown Core
This SDM is situated where the glorious CABAN lifestyle store once resided and is now a smorgasbord of all your daily needs from Anna Sui Lipstick to Preparation H to Ritz crackers.
My review will stick to the essential needs...La Maquillage!
Yes Yes…More »
3. Basil Thai Kitchen
Toronto, ON M4C 1K7
(416) 422-0617
Not to be mistaken with Thai Basil further west in the Annex, BASIL THAI (sorry for the emphatic caps) is probably one of the most underated Thai/Malay establishments around.
Originally owned by Jean and Harry, who are now the proud owners of…More »
4. Freshii
When Subway sandwiches (which I rather despise) simply won't do in the "healthy" lunch category, I will by default pick up something from Freshii to fill that niche.
It is a tiny albeit high ceilinged spot where the line-up for lunch inevitably ends…More »
5. Ichiban Sushi House
Toronto, ON M4T
(416) 922-7500
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhoods: Yonge and St. Clair, Deer Park
Is it just me or is the name Ichiban (translation #1) completely overused for sub-standard sushi joints? I mean you could probably go to the far reaches of Uz-becki-becki-becki-stan-stan and there would be an Ichiban sushi there too I bet!
My…More »
6. La Bamboche
As I've previously stated, La Bamboche produces in my opinion the most delectable macarons that a Torontonian could ever desire to O.D. on, but did you know that La Bamboche is also a place that provides oral pleasure...let me explain! I work close…More »

7. Blacksmith's Bistro
Came here quite by chance as I was spending a girls day out with a dear friend for her belated Birthday. We had originally intended to dine at Il Postino but it was closed and on the kind recommendation by the counter lady at the heavenly Old Fire…More »
8. Niche Decor
My dear friend and myself happen upon this charmingly quaint decor store while on a jaunt promenading the main street in Unionville, but then again everything about Unionville is quaint isn't it?
Niche is smallish but once inside the warmth and the…More »
9. Old Firehall Confectionery
It's very hard not to resist the temptation of the Old Firehall Confectionery, the enticing aroma of sweet and creamy hot chocolate as it wavers teasingly in the air and once I've succumbed to the cocoa-hypnosis, I'm ensnared by the fragrant charms…More »
10. Remington's Men of Steel
Toronto, ON M5B 1S1
(416) 977-2160
Categories:
Adult Entertainment,
Gay Bars
Neighbourhoods: Ryerson, Downtown Core
For my 69th review, I thought I'd go a little raunch and review the infamous Remington's Men of Steel!
John F's Remington's review before me is pretty epic and gets down to the main business of what Remington's is, that being a strip club geared for…More »
11. Henri Bendel
New York, NY 10019
USA
(800) 423-6335
Categories:
Jewelry,
Accessories
Neighbourhood: Midtown West
It's no surprise why Henri Bendel was chosen as a location for the film Confessions of a Shopaholic as the building's four story gorgeous multi window paned facade and interior oozes Franco-architectural charm. Don't get me wrong Bergdorf's and…More »
12. Tutto Pronto
I like coming to Tutto's for their excellent prepared take-out foods. You can really taste the home made goodness and just about everything I've ordered and eaten here feels like something my Italian mamma (in another lifetime) would have made for…More »
13. TTC- 61 Avenue Rd North Bus
Oh Route 61, I raise my fist to you in anger for you are the bane of my Public Transit taking existence.
You can consistently be counted on to never conform to the bus stop schedule.
According to http://TTC.com you run every 20 minutes, but technically…More »
14. Riz North
3.5 actually. Yes Riz you are one of the prettiest Asian fusian restos around, think Moroco Chocolat chandaliers and Frenchified styling meets Spring Rolls gweilo-fied menu, however the service leaves me a little skeptical. The service was congenial…More »
15. Canadian Men's Clinic
Toronto, ON M4P 3A1
(416) 636-7377
Category:
Doctors
Neighbourhoods: Mount Pleasant and Davisville, Yonge and Eglinton
Warning this review may be a bit graphic for the menfolk so for the squamish I'll suggest that maybe instead they read another review, perhaps this? http://www.yelp.ca/biz...
For the rest of you that have the balls (sorry I couldn't resist) let's…More »
16. Local 4 Restaurant
Toronto, ON M4Y 1K2
(416) 915-0113
Category:
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
Not to be confused with Four Loko, Local 4 is a cozy little resto pub that is an adorable little refuge away from the sketch and stank of the Yonge street strip, and funny enough right next to Kawaii Spa, wink-wink ;) Incidentaly according to their…More »
17. Dr. Martens
Toronto, ON M5V
(416) 585-9595
Category:
Shoe Stores
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Queen Street West, Downtown Core
It doesn't get any better than Dr Marten's when it comes to comfort shoes, for either work or play, but who would've thought they made high heels too!
As I was running errands in the neighbourhood today, I happend to jet by Dr Marten's and literally…More »
18. The New Red Rocket
Toronto, ON
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
All the praises aside from my initial review of the new fangled TTC Rocket trains, is it just me or are the new seats REALLY uncomfortable on these things? I find them super stiff and hard considering I don't have a boney ass!
Oh well at least if I…More »

19. Spring Rolls Go
Toronto, ON M4Y 2B2
(416) 365-7655
Category:
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
In a sea of cheap and not so cheerful eatery options that line the Yonge street strip Spring Rolls Go is just another casualty that offers subpar McAsian meals.
Like most people I came in to grab a quick nosh for take-out as I perused the illuminated…More »
20. Momiji Sushi Bar and Grill
Japanese restos are a dime-a-dozen these days and sometimes it's hard not to write many of them off as bland since the food they serve all tends to taste the same and the service often leaves much to be desired...yawn.
Enter Momiji, a gem of a…More »
21. Beerbistro
Toronto, ON M5C 1C4
(416) 861-9872
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Bars
Neighbourhoods: St. Lawrence, Downtown Core
Beer Bistro was hubby's first choice for his birthday dinner, and not surprisingly so being the beer connoiseur that he is.
Conveniently located near the intersection of King & Yonge, It's a beautful high ceilinged interior with Art deco-ish…More »
22. Seduction Love Boutique
Toronto, ON M4Y 1Z2
(416) 966-6969
Seduction is a Sex shop extrordinaire as it's gargantuan and almost takes on a department store vibe. The main floor is sub divided featuring lingerie/apparel, dildos and vibes of every stripe along with plenty of lubes and love potions. The…More »
23. Rawlicious
Toronto, ON M4W 1J5
(416) 646-0705
Categories:
Vegan,
Vegetarian
Neighbourhood: Yorkville
Located next to the Pilot on Cumberland street, Rawlicious is an adorably cozy little resto that also offers its raw foods to go.
Admittedly this in my first raw take-out meal I've ever ordered, but boy was it good.
If you'd asked me 20 years ago, if…More »
24. Loblaws Supermarkets Limited
Leave it to Loblaws to give you nearly everything you need under one roof.
Banking, Pharmaceuticals, Dry Cleaning, Wine and heck even some half-decent clothes shopping. All that's missing is a Legal Services booth from Bob Loblaw …More »
25. Ginza Sushi and Thai
Yorkville isn't known as a destination for Sushi, or Japanese food for that matter, but if you ask me I'd say Ginza is the creme of the Yorkville sushi crop.
With a super slick post-mod minimalist interior Ginza is an aesthetically pleasing space,…More »
26. Davids Footwear
Toronto, ON M5S 1L9

Shoe Stores

Shoes...glorious shoes...aaaaah

Recently updated lists from Sara K. P.
24 Karat Dining (14)Sure the ambiance sometimes might be filled with too much botox, bravado, silicone and pretension per square foot, but sometimes Mama likes a $$$$$ meal baby! |
Mouthgasms :D (19)I don't always get them, but when I do they are deliciously memorable. Here are those special spots that have teased and tantalized my tastebuds to flavourful release. |
La Dolce Vita (17)Who doesn't like desserts and sweets? Here's where I like to go to get my high GI groove on. |
Fevrier Sans Food (29)Admittedly not Yelping about delectable chocolates, cakes and patisseries will prove difficult but here's hoping I can actually complete this February's foodless challenge...maxed out credit cards here I come!! |
London Calling (7)A Toronto girl's adventures in London Town |
Shopoholism (17)It may be more expensive than therapy, but at least I can always count on having a fantastic wardrobe to show for it! |
Domo Arigato.... (5)Mr Roboto...Here's some Japanese (and pseudo Japanese) places that I've dined at |
Thrones when you're away from home (5)It's no secret that I am OBSESSED with well presented public restrooms. Heck I've even used my visits to them as inspiration for my own bathroom's gentrification (Ahem Le Germain I'm looking at you) Here are some grand examples of what a proper lieu experience should be all about. |
