1. RBC Royal Bank
Toronto, ON M5J 2J5
(416) 974-3940
Category:
Banks & Credit Unions
Neighbourhoods: Financial District, Downtown Core
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 »
2. Big Smoke Burger
Toronto, ON M5C 2B6
(416) 947-9500
Category:
Burgers
Neighbourhoods: St. Lawrence, Downtown Core
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 »
3. LCBO
Scarborough, ON M1T 3H1
(416) 291-5902
Category:
Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhood: Scarborough
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 »
4. Azan's Beauty Salon
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.
1. My appointment starts on time. As soon as I enter and register, I'm…More »
5. Kokoro Sushi
Very decent sushi place. I didn't order a lot from there but it was delicious. I got take out because I live close by but they do have a pretty decent dining area. The lady that served me was really friendly as we discussed fashion and shopping. I…More »
6. Indigospirit - Royal Bank Plaza
Toronto, ON M5J 2J3
(416) 865-0090
Category:
Bookstores
Neighbourhoods: Financial District, Downtown Core
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 »
7. Hertz Rent A Car
I've rented from here on 2 separate occasions over the past month. I get discounts with Avis and Budget thru my workplace and yet Hertz was always cheaper each time I checked for rates. Both times were an extremely smooth and pleasant process. I had…More »
8. Metro
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 »
9. Denny's
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.
Robert…More »
10. Victoria's Secret
I was invited to their preview shopping event this evening and I couldn't pass up the chance. This location is beautiful and laid out similar to its US counterparts.
The sales associates were funny and warm; they didn't always know the answer to…More »
11. Shoppers Drug Mart
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 »
12. Freshwest Grill
Toronto, ON M5K 1N9
(416) 861-8163
Category:
Tex-Mex
Neighbourhoods: Financial District, Downtown Core
In high school, I was once made fun of for my love of eating just toppings. I would take all my fav burger toppings, throw it in a bowl, and munch away. Same goes for taco toppings. My mom thought that maybe I was having a weird pregnancy craving. Of…More »
13. Healthwinds
Toronto, ON M4S 2N2
(416) 488-9545
Categories:
Day Spas,
Massage,
Cosmetology Schools
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant and Davisville
Before I left for my trip, I figured I would use my gift certificate and get a massage at Healthwinds. I got to the spa, and loved the atmosphere. Extremely clean and white with inspirational words written on the walls.
When I got to the counter to…More »
14. The UPS Store
Toronto, ON M5V 3S5
(416) 366-5700
Category:
Shipping Centres
Neighbourhood: Niagara
I love this UPS location. I've sent several packages in the past 2 months & consider it the only place I'll go.
They're friendlier than any Canada Post location IMO. The lady that works here knows me. She knows that I'm usually sending back purchases…More »
15. IKEA
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 »
16. Lenscrafters
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 »
17. Marlee Pharmacy
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.
18. Kitchen Stuff Plus
Toronto, ON M4Y 2B2
(416) 944-2718
Category:
Kitchen & Bath
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
A sneeze broke the sugar jar!
It all happened in slow motion. I had just finished using the sugar and was putting it back in its place. Then I sneezed...and somehow my hands lost their grip on the jar and it fell. I really thought it would just fall…More »
19. Fitness One
Fitness One, I despise you! I spit at your feet. Pitoueee!
FO is a women's only gym designed to be a simple gym for people on a budget. They lack certain amenities (no pool) but offer aerobics classes, start-up consultations, personal training & the…More »
20. Kelsey's
Scarborough, ON M1H 3K3
(416) 296-0144
Category:
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Scarborough
Let me get this straight, Kelsey. I give your restaurant $20 and you give me a meal that I could've made if I just walked across the parking lot and bought all ingredients in Price Choppers? Wish you had told me that BEFORE I gave you my money.
I went…More »
21. Dominos Pizza
SSB: secret single behaviour. Any SATC lover (or one who's had to hear about the show) knows it's things we do when we're alone that we wouldn't do in front of our partners. Dominos supplies my SSB trait #1: consuming one large thin crust pizza in a…More »
22. Good For Her
I had been to the Everything To Do with Sex Show and I believe I signed up for the Good For Her's newsletter. I noticed that they had sexuality workshops and decided to attend one called Giving Good Head. I was intrigued that this class was sold out…More »
23. Studio Vis-A-Vis
Toronto, ON M6G 1C6
(416) 537-3232
Categories:
Hair Removal,
Day Spas,
Skin Care
Neighbourhood: Bickford Park
A Living Social deal for a Brazilian led me to Studio Vis-A-Vis. It's located close to College and Ossington and was easy to get to by TTC. When I walked in, my coat was taken and I was checked in within 10 minutes. There was no attitude regarding me…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! |
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! |
