1. Aveda Institute
Toronto, ON M5C 1G6
Canada
(416) 941-9345
Category:
Hair Salons
Neighborhoods: Corktown, St. Lawrence, Downtown Core
This is the Aveda Institute that all of the American Avedas should learn from. I started coming here in grad school, and really wish that the ones in LA and SF took a cue from them. First off, Torontonians may be hapy to hear that in the other…More »
2. Bay Street Video
Toronto, ON M5S 2B4
Canada
(416) 964-9088
Categories:
Videos and Video Game Rental,
Music & DVDs
Neighborhoods: Discovery District, Yorkville, Downtown Core
When I lived in New York, there was an indie video store near where I lived. And half of the "charm" of the place was that the staff all had poles stuck up their... If you dared to rent a mainstream video, you'd get some really nasty stares. But…More »
3. Life is Sweet
Toronto, ON M4E 1G9
Canada
(416) 698-0555
Now that our wedding is over I just wanted to update my review. We had booked with Life is Sweet in December 2009 for our wedding, having really wanted cupcakes instead of the typical wedding cake (not because it's a fad, but because we love…More »

4. Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival
Toronto, ON M5V 2K4
Canada
(416) 203-2155
Best Film Festival EV-AR. Best part? If you're a student or senior, you get into daytime shows for free. Yup, that's right. But even if you don't fall into one of those two groups, it's definitely worth the $$ to get a pass and hit up as many…More »
5. Rosehill Venue Lounge
Toronto, ON M4T 2P7
Canada
(416) 923-2232
Category:
Venues & Event Spaces
Neighborhoods: Yonge and St. Clair, Deer Park
Now that the wedding is over, I'm coming back with my full on review. And I'm happy to report that the Rosehill lived up to my pre-emptive 5 star review.
First off, the space is great for a group around 100. You can fit a dance floor with seated…More »

I'll update this again post-wedding, but I am pumped to be getting hitched at the Rosehill. J and I… Read more »
6. The Rebel House
Located just north of the Rosedale station on Yonge Street, Rebel House is a good place to go if you want a beer or two and perhaps some food. I sat upstairs for some post-dinner drinks with old buddies. We weren't eating (except for one friend who…More »
7. Flip Toss & Thai Kitchen
Hands down my favorite cheap-eats place in Toronto. My grad school buddies and I would come here every week or two for lunch. The pad thai is awesome - get it just a bit spicy and it adds some extra punch - and is made really quickly. The food is…More »
8. Over Easy
Toronto, ON M5S 3B4
Canada
(416) 922-2345
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighborhoods: The Annex, University of Toronto, Downtown Core
Mmmm eggs bruschetta. I used to live really close to here, so this was a regular brunch/lunch place. It's a bit pricey, although being near the Intercontinental and the ROM can mark anything up. The eggs bruschetta were worth it, though.
The…More »
9. Hemingway's Restaurant
Toronto, ON M5R 1A8
Canada
(416) 968-2828
Categories:
Bars,
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighborhood: Yorkville
I liked that, despite the location in swanky Yorkville, this place was pretty chill all-around. Being near UofT, many bars in the area were kind of annoying and swamped with undergrads, but I really enjoyed going here. The food isn't bad, either -…More »
10. Le Gourmand - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M4S 3H7
Canada
(416) 487-9900
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Grocery
Neighborhoods: Mount Pleasant and Davisville, Yonge and Eglinton
I came here for brunch after New Years. On such a freezing day, I have to say that it would have been nice if they thought more about cold-proofing the place. We were seated in the back, where people can walk in and out and it was chilly like woah.…More »
11. The Pilot Tavern
Totally neat pub... I always thought from the outside (when I lived in the hood) that it was going to be seedy, but that may have been because a pack of four bums got me to give them half a Pizza Pizza when I was passing by the Pilot on a cold night.…More »
12. Bowlerama West
Etobicoke, ON M9B 1B5
Canada
(416) 239-3536
Category:
Bowling
Neighborhood: Etobicoke
This alley's lots of fun! They're the only 10-pin alley that's located off of a subway stop (just past Kipling station), are decently cheap during the weekdays, and offer cosmic bowling.
Go on Wednesday nights, when you can get games, hot dogs, and…More »
13. Eggstasy
Toronto, ON M5R 2A9
Canada
(416) 964-2333
Neighborhood: Yorkville
Eggstasy was in walking distance to my place in Toronto, so I came here from time to time. It's half diner/half casual restaurant... I'm not sure if they've even decided their identity. There are plenty of egg dishes here, all of which come with 3…More »
14. L'espresso Bar Mercurio
Toronto, ON M5S 1S5
Canada
(416) 585-2233
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighborhoods: The Annex, University of Toronto, Downtown Core
Decent lunch spot. It's a classy joint that's located on the ground floor of a dorm and across from the Bata Shoe Museum. They have curtains sectioning off bits of space and it's really open (floor to ceiling windows!) in a functional/industrial…More »
15. Grapefruit Moon
Toronto, ON M5R 3G6
Canada
(416) 534-9056
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighborhoods: The Annex, Seaton Village
I watched the Restaurant Makeover episode featuring Grapefruit Moon and was a bit skeptical about going here, given how the chef allegedly changed everything back. But I did make it out here once and it wasn't as bad as I thought it may be. The…More »
16. Green Room
I used to love the Green Room. It was a chill place to get together. Good for drinks, but also decent food. The rundown couches and mismatched chairs just added character. Then one time I went there when it was still light outside - and what a…More »
17. New Generation Sushi
Sorry, Torontonians, don't mean to be a hater but you're really lacking on the sushi front. I mean, tuna should be reddish, not gray. What gives?
But if I had to pick the best sushi place in the area, it would have to be New Gen. Maybe because it…More »
