I have to give love to a place that will take a reservation for a group of 20 gals on a busy Thursday night. Our table was all set up in long rows and the staff didn't even seem to mind that we played a lot of musical chairs. Our waitress was…More »
I've just stopped in here to get my bangs trimmed a few times. The stylists have always been nice - asking me if I'm going to school and what the weather is like. Small talk, but nice enough.
The bangs weren't bad - a little uneven, but she brushed…More »
My soy latte was quite the nice steamy and frothy concoction. It came out quickly and I settled into one of the cozy oversized arm chairs and pulled out my laptop to rock out some caffeine-fueled yelping. It wasn't too busy - 9 AM-ish on a Friday…More »
Such a great little video store! Great staff, who have always helped me find the videos I want since I find their system a little bit confusing. Instead of taking the video off the shelf, you take up the blue tag to them. No blue tag = no copies in…More »
I was left stranded at Southgate Mall for about an hour the other night, my fiancee having taken our car, and me, stupidly, forgetting house keys. Just a typical Thursday is all.
After some shopping, I needed a caffeine hit and a place to rest of my…More »
Beijing Beijing was our last-minute dinner spot on Valentine's Day. Was it because it was a bit late, 8 PM-ish, that the place was near empty, or is it usually like that? I am still left wondering. And why is it called Beijing Beijing, not just…More »
I became the hero of my New Year's Eve party when I showed up with mini cupcakes from Flirt! Baked fresh that morning, I picked up a combo pack with a dozen minis, with flavours like red velvet and double chocolate. (It's just too bad I didn't stop…More »
The giraffe is my favourite animal, so it was inevitable that the Plaid Giraffe and I would meet and fall in love some day.
A big selection of bags in front (if that's your style) and the best jewelry collection in the city (well, because it's all my…More »
I like visiting the Twisted Fork for breakfast because so few people know that they have a great brunch menu. Although lighting is low in this restaurant/bar, big storefront windows let the light in during breakfast hours.
Like most of the fare here,…More »
Blink and you WILL miss this hidden restaurant on the east end of Whyte Avenue. (I suppose you could almost call them Unseen Restaurant, too!)
I had an amazing private fine-dining experience. Set up in our own room, our group of ten (ten!) was easily…More »

What an outstanding evening at The Bothy! Both our host and server were friendly, chatty and knowledgeable about the menu. The special that evening, the short ribs, sounded amazing. I hope it come back as a special so I get a chance to try it!
My wine…More »
Chicken Scratch, I think you have the cutest name of any store on Whyte. Plus, I'm slightly obsessed with greeting cards, so this store is definitely one I think is worth checking out for any crafty gal or Whyte Ave wanderer.

I was a bit intimidated when my good friend said she was holding her going-away party at Shanks, since, as you all well know by now, I'm not exactly up on my sports savvy. And just wait until we go bowling all together at the upcoming CMYE. I do a…More »
Out on the very north side of town, Jax is a cute (and quirk-ily named) little cafe in a much larger strip mall.
The decor is very "crazy-great-aunt's house." Lots of little knick knacks for sale, and then you turn around, and bam! Hookahs for sale,…More »
If you're looking for some awesome and creative pub food (like pulled pork nachos!) or adorably-named burgers (the Drama Queen) just off Whyte Ave, then pop on into local theatre-goer fav The Next Act Pub.
I swung by for Saturday afternoon drinks and…More »
On Saturday night, Michael J and I bought our tickets for Sherlock Holmes 2. That was at around 6:10 and the movie started at 7. No time to head out of City Centre Mall for dinner but we didn't have to walk far to Elephant and Castle, where a quick…More »
While I was kind of bummed to say goodbye to Cafe Dabar and its very friendly owner (Manager? Barista? Whatever, the chipper dude who was always there), I do love to see a great new cafe!
Cafe Coral de Cuba has kind of a waaaay too long name…More »
If you love well made and super cute active wear but you're looking to spend your dollars at a (much) smaller company than Lululemon, say hello to your new favourite store, fit girl: OneTooth!
My favourite thing they carry here is work-out bottoms.…More »
My friend Sarah had the fantastic idea to go for brunch at Culina. I made reservations, as per Yelper recommendations, which were also a fantastic idea. We watched as several couples and larger groups were turned away and given a long wait time, all…More »
Oh, Funky Buddha. I feel like you are the forgotten club of Whyte Avenue. You know who says, "Wanna go to Funky Buddha tonight?" No one. No one has ever said that.
Sure, your giant windows are a little weird and perverse. And karaoke on Sundays is an…More »
