I can easily get my banking done on my lunch hour, which is no easy feat. I cashed a government cheque and divided it between getting cash back and deposting into various accounts. The entire process took around 16 minutes! It could be because it's…More »

I love Craft burger so hearing there was one so close to work, I knew I had to take a lunch hour to check it out. They still seem to be working out the kinks: there was no sign on the outside, they only had fries as a side option today, and the…More »

I went to a bridal shower at the edge of the world (Midland and Steeles) and my friend told me this would be the easiest LCBO to get to before jumping back on to the highway. She was right. It took about 5 minutes for me to find what I was looking…More »

I love going to the salon to get my hair done. That's because of Azan's. I've experienced services that I didn't get at other black-owned salons I've been to, which may shock some.

Despite this location being in the hussle and bustle of the PATH, I feel instantly calmer when I walk through the doors. They don't always have the best selection because it's a small location; but the staff makes up for it by assisting you in…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.

Left the club and I wanted breakfast food. The gods were nice enough to place a Denny's near my craving and we all trekked in.

We were seated in an area that didn't have much service, only to realize that we shouldn't have been seated there.

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.

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 »

The mood of a salesperson can sometimes make or break your day. If they're pissy, it can get you fired up--and not in a good way. But if they're pleasant, they can have you smiling out the door.

That was me smiling out the doors of Lenscrafters on…More »

I wanted to get a prescription filled here & went in 15 min before it was closing, as I had had a late appt next door at the clinic. They told me that they couldn't fill it because they wanted to leave early. I never went back.

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!

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.

Thunderstorms? Pshaw! (6)

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.

Cut-eye and Steups (3)

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