Why I Miss Living Closer to the Beach Area

See All Lists
Once upon a time, I lived in an area that straddled Leslieville and the Beach, perhaps leaning more toward the Beach. And though I don't live THAT far from these places, here is a list of places my Sunday bike rides or strolls miss...

Let's be honest, the area isn't the most glamorous what with it being near a Coffee Time, an In-and-Out KFC, a Blockbuster Video and an erotic boutique aptly named Naughty By Night. But sandwiched in this would-be red light district is a little slice…More »

You know that phrase "I feel like a kid in a candy store"? I believe it originated at the Nutty Chocolatier.

If there was one annoyance when it comes to going to an ice cream parlour, it's choosing which ice cream flavour you wish to have a one-night stand with. Oh sure, you can double up on scoops, but come on, I'm not an animal...

Recently updated lists from Michelle V.

Woodbine and Danforth - Yup, it's worth visiting... (8)

It might not be a neighbourhood that's bursting with trendy retail flavour but it still has a lot to offer.

Surprise Finds (7)

More specifically (since the title only allowed a max. length of 64 characters), "Places I Would Never Think I'd Find Myself In Let Alone Giving It a Great Review".

The Great Dessert Seduction (9)

Places to get your sweet on.

[Warning: one place mentioned on this list is located in Thunder Bay, ON]

Cup O'Cake (5)

The idea of this list is to [hopefully] expand it as I discover more list-worthy cupcakes since I don't normally go out and buy them. But I need to provide a brief explanation for Sweet Tooth. It's the Chocolate Raspberry cupcake alone that earned its spot. So moist and delicious and imagine if I went when they were fresh!

If You Took Me To These Places, I Might Make Out With You (9)

The title says it all...

Why I Should Be Living in Leslieville (4)

Whether it's food, clothing or more food, these are the places I must hit up when I'm in the area.
