Who are the people in your neighbourhood (CityPlace edition)
See All Lists
1. Liberty Shawarma
This place just opened a week or two ago, and I gotta say, I'm a huge fan of a shawarma place within stumbling distance of my apartment. It's almost icing on the cake that the shawarma was excellent, but I suppose that's at least as important as…More »
2. Telus CityPlace
Toronto, ON M5V 3S8
(416) 883-3550
Category:
Internet Service Providers
Neighbourhoods: City Place, Entertainment District, Downtown Core
This is perhaps the fastest Internet connection it has been my privilege to use since I left University. It's insane how fast stuff downloads - I am the envy of most everyone in my office for the speeds I can get, as well as the transfer cap (300…More »
3. Dollarama
This store opened right around when I moved downtown, which has been a real boon to me, since I forgot to stock up on a few essentials (garbage can, hangers, etc.) before I left the cold embrace of a Wal-mart. Having the store 5 minutes from my house…More »
4. Fox and Fiddle
Overall, I'd say a 3.5-star facility with a 1-star round up for being right in my building.
Pros:
-Did I mention it's right in my building?
-Lots of seating
-Tons of TVs for watching the game of your choice
-Very large patio
-Large variety of food
-What…More »
5. Sobeys
Coming from the suburban Land of the Mega Grocery Store, this one disappoints severely. I've had naught but trouble in finding whatever I happen to be looking for in this store, be they Pizza Pops (a request of a friend), toothpicks or anything in…More »
6. T.O. Tuck Shop
Toronto, ON M5V 3V3
(416) 623-0660
Category:
Convenience Stores
Neighbourhoods: City Place, Entertainment District
Some time around the end of 2007, there was an article in the National Post about a fancy new convenience store that would be hitting the streets of CityPlace soon. It talked of stylish decor and organic produce. I'm not sure if that is the same…More »
7. Spot Coffee
Toronto, ON M5V 3V3
(416) 883-0762
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: City Place, Entertainment District
Being located directly between thousands of young condo dwellers and their places of work, you'd think that a place like Spot Coffee wouldn't have to try too hard, and would still make a killing. Thankfully, this isn't the case.
Spot is located inside…More »
8. Subway
Toronto, ON M5V 3S8
(416) 623-0934
Category:
Sandwiches
Neighbourhoods: City Place, Entertainment District, Downtown Core
It's yet another franchise shop, so I'll get to the point: this is far and away... not my favourite location. It's convenient for where I live, so I'm here from time to time, but generally if I can't think of anything better.
The quality of the food…More »
9. Pizza Nova
Toronto, ON M5V 3S8
(416) 439-0000
Category:
Pizza
Neighbourhoods: City Place, Entertainment District, Downtown Core
The first thing you'll notice walking into this location is how sane the seating layout is compared with the Pizza Pizza across the street. A few round tables and some benches at a bar is simplicity itself contrasted with the labyrinth across the…More »
10. Shoppers Drug Mart
Toronto, ON M5V 3A6
(416) 260-2860
Category:
Drugstores
Neighbourhood: Harbourfront
I don't think I need to go over the basics of a Shoppers Drug Mart - by now, virtually every Canadian is familiar with who they are and what they sell.
The layout of this store feels very odd to me - not sure if it's because of support beams to hold…More »
