Friendly. Adorable. Quaint.

These are just some of the words one can use to describe this ice cream shop in the Woodbine/Danforth neighbourhood.

This candy-stripe clad establishment is such a welcoming slice of summer to the area. There's a quiet…More »

So I heard my neighbourhood was getting some sort of specialty bulk store (ahh, the power of Twitter) but I was not aware it was opening up on the other side of my apartment building. This is a good thing as it means I don't have walk far to find it…More »

Who are the people in your neighbourhood? Well, Sesame Street tells us a postman or fireman are people in my neighbourhood and though I whole-heartedly agree with both their message and method at which to teach children, they fail to mention the…More »

Having lived in the area for well over a year, I have always walked briskly by this place deeming it nothing short of a greasy spoon dive. Shady at best. Greasy spoon, that it is. A dive? Hardly!

As I finally walked into the diner (whose exterior made…More »

Not entirely sure what I was expecting when I went into Relish. I have passed it many times and disregarded it as another dive along that strip just east of Woodbine/Danforth.

The decor is something to be desired with tables and chairs you'd be…More »

I honestly couldn't tell you what makes one Thai place better than another or what's more authentic and which is some North American hack (though I suppose if a poutine is a viable option under the subhead "Canadian Menu", then that might be one of…More »

I went here again today and tried the Vanilla with Strawberry frosting - SO MUCH better! Not that the other ones were something to sneeze at.

Here's what happened: I came in and no cupcakes were in the display yet. She said they were in the back…More »

A new bakery opened in my neighbourhood so naturally I needed to see the inner-workings of this place and went to the grand opening (which seemed more like a soft launch/private party that I was crashing). In any case, I didn't stay.

Recently updated lists from Michelle V.

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!

Why I Miss Living Closer to the Beach Area (4)

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...

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.
