Thunderstorms? Pshaw!

I believe thunderstorms should only be enjoyed from the comfort of my bed. But if I did go out, it would only be to these places.

2712 Yonge Street
Toronto, ON M4N 2H9
(416) 485-8686
5.0 star rating
  Update - 5/14/2010

After my initial review, Tien was kind enough to invite me back for another mani/pedi. I scheduled and rescheduled so many times due to other appointments that popped up. Each email I sent was responded as quickly as possible and Tien always…More »

    I lost my faith in Brazilians years ago--the wax & the people. I've had the wax years ago. It was… Read more »

For some reason, when I have access to some wheels, my stomach ALWAYS craves fruit at around 3am. I have been known to frequent this Metro after a club, hanging out with a friend, or during a night of troubled sleep.

Always have a decent selection,…More »

There are 10 24HR Shoppers locations in the city. I'm lucky that I'm relatively close to one. I once walked home from this one and it was about 40 minutes. However, driving there takes less than 10 minutes.

I filled my asthma inhaler prescription at…More »

  Update - 4/5/2010

When Deep Blue didn't work out (didn't realize it had shut down and become Peter's Place), my cousins asked me if I knew of a "for sure" fish and chips place, it being Good Friday and all. I immediately started up the  Mahz-da and headed over to…More »

200 Interchange Way
Vaughan, ON L4K 5C3

4.0 star rating
  2/3/2010 First to Review

When food is this cheap, I almost feel like I don't have a right to complain. I had the fish and chips for $5.99. They were average. Nothing to write grandma and rave about. But it's IKEA...for dinner. I can't expect much. The dessert though was…More »

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core

5.0 star rating
  Update - 8/5/2010

I went here last month to celebrate my birthday and my friend's birthday. My friend had never had a massage before and was a little wary of it (oh men!). However I assured him that once he went Elmwood, he would never go back.

The massage was exactly…More »

Recently updated lists from Nicole B.

Man, I feel like a Woman! (11)

Every female should have a place (or two) that makes her feel good about herself, both inside and out. As Shakira would say, release your inner She-Wolf! These places not only make me feel good about myself but slightly empowered. Now, if only I could get that dang Shakira song out of my head!

Virgin Territory (23)

You always remember your first...unless it involved alcohol

Places I would send R**** from high school (15)

R**** was my sworn enemy from grades 11 to OAC. I would send her to these places because they suck and because I went to an all-girls school so I totally know about revenge and stuff.

Cold as Ice! (16)

The places I like that blast the AC

My Decemburger journey/Mon voyage de décemburgère (7)

Can I handle 22 burger spots in one month? As Decemburger bears upon me, I set myself up to sample what may be the best (or worst) burgers of my life.

My Comfort Zones (11)

These are places that make me feel warm and fuzzy on the inside. I venture here often.

Washington, DC (9)

The places I visited on my last trip

Sush-sush-sushi-ooooo! (8)

My best and worst

Sugar Coma (5)

Desserts so good, I wouldn't share with my mom.

Cut-eye and Steups (3)

I'm judgmental when it comes to my own culture's food!
