1. King's Diner
Toronto, ON M4E
(647) 349-3016
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Diners
Neighbourhood: Upper Beach
This might be the last place in the city where you can get a classic breakfast (3 eggs, bacon/sausage/ham, toast, homefries and fruit) for less than $5.
The service was friendly and quick, and the food was good. Their homefries were nice and crispy,…More »
2. Herrera's Fine Dining & Catering
I was recently at a friend's wedding, which was catered by Herrera's. I was actually quite impressed with the food. Wedding food can often be a bland, dry affair, but the beef and chicken meals (the Hubster and I ordered one of each and split them)…More »
3. Enoch Turner Schoolhouse
Toronto, ON M5A 3C6
(416) 327-6997
Categories:
Venues & Event Spaces,
Museums
Neighbourhood: Corktown
What a gorgeous and unique spot for a wedding reception!
There are three rooms in this place... one room that is put together like the original schoolhouse, complete with old school desks and chairs (which are connected, so wear underpants, ladies, if…More »
4. St John's Parish Church
Toronto, ON M4E 1R7
(416) 698-1105
Category:
Religious Organizations
Neighbourhood: Upper Beach
I can't speak to the services here, but this is a very beautiful place for a wedding.
There's an incredible amount of stained glass, a very VERY high ceiling, and even a choir area with a pipe organ, if you're into that. The pews are, like all…More »
5. Beaches Bake Shop
Toronto, ON M4E 1S5
(416) 686-2391
Categories:
Specialty Food,
Scandinavian
Neighbourhood: Upper Beach
A lovely little place, we just stopped in for a coffee and juice before a wedding.
The atmosphere was friendly and family centred, there were a couple of 10-year olds selling Swedish cinnamon buns out front as it was Swedish Cinnamon Roll Day. I was…More »
6. 100 Degrees Hot Pot
Despite all the terrible reviews, I still wanted to try this place out. My brother goes here all the time with his buddies and is kind of a food snob, so I figured we'd be safe.
They have a few really great items, and a few meh items.
The seafood thing…More »

Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Riverdale
Delicious food and fantastic service!
A friend and I were trawling the Queen East strip, looking for a light dinner, when we found this place. It looked really cool, great artwork, beautiful marble tables and old school movies projected onto a black…More »
8. Pogue Mahone Irish Pub
Pretty good atmosphere, great beers, terrible food.
We dropped in to watch the leaf game and get some beer and pub food into our bellies. The place was packed full of hockey fans and the sound from the TVs was BLARING. It we had to yell to talk to…More »
9. The Office Pub
Toronto, ON M5H 1Y2
(416) 977-1900
Categories:
Pubs,
Sports Bars,
Karaoke
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
Good service, but not so great food.
This was a decent place to hang out with the Hubster. We were both a little hungry, so he got the burger, which was fine, and I got the mussels, which were incredibly salty.
Everything else about this place was…More »
10. Manulife Centre
Toronto, ON M4W 1A5
(416) 961-2311
Category:
Shopping Centres
Neighbourhoods: Discovery District, Yorkville, Downtown Core
A small mall with some neat features.
I go here quite a bit, as I like the movie theatre a lot. It's also where my blood donor clinic happens to be, so I'm here at least every two months. It's close the subway, and it has an Indigo, which is perfect…More »
11. J.B. Tudhope Memorial Park
A beautiful park with a ton of great features.
This is a beautiful park with everything: a beach, a children's playground, a baseball diamond, biking/walking trails, large green areas, an ICE CREAM SHOP!, beach volleyball courts and ample parking.
My…More »
12. The Hogtown Vegan
Toronto, ON M6G 1M2
(416) 901-9779
Excuse me as a wheeze through this review. My stomach has completely taken over most of the room usually reserved for my lungs.
I came here with Chad, Nicolle and Danielle for some impromptu vegan feasting. As an appetizer, we split some fries that…More »
13. Harvey's Restaurants
This place just opened a couple of months ago and I finally bit the bullet and got a burger.
I'm not a HUGE fan of Harvey's burgers, and like all fast-food chains, the food is exactly the same from location to location. They had the same fixins' and…More »
14. Dollorama
I came in here for two things: cheap file folders and a cheap bin to keep said file folders. I left with cheap file folders, a ladle, 3 watertight spice jars ($1 for 3!!), a pack of bandaids and a bunch of chip clips. All for $10 including tax.…More »
15. Staples Business Depot
I've been here several times for their print and copy centre and most recently to buy a new computer chair.
The place is a little cluttered, but it was easy enough to find what I needed. I found the chair I wanted, then asked a nice man who tried to…More »

Toronto, ON M4Y 2C8
(416) 323-2822
Categories:
Nightlife,
Restaurants
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
This is a pretty decent place to have a party.
A friend of mine had a going away bash here last night. He had booked the second floor, which was pretty comfortable for the 30-40 of us. There were three high tops, two couch areas a big table and a bar…More »
17. Jollytops
Tasty takeout at a decent price.
I actually didn't know this was a restaurant until today. I thought that it was store that sold children's clothes. I was planning on visiting the takeout next door, but was told that it was not open until noon. The…More »
18. Shoppers Drug Mart
A tiny little location with the very basics of what a Shoppers might have.
1/4 of the store is taken up by the pharmacy, which is probably why most people go there. They have a small selection of everything, including makeup (covergirl only, it…More »

I am so impressed with the professionalism and the expertise of the people I have dealt with here.

Category:
Bars
Neighbourhoods: Brockton Village, Bloordale Village, Wallace Emerson
A great spot for a drink with friends.
We came here a while back for Avitania's birthday celebration. This was an ideal spot. The bartender was super nice, made great drinks, and didn't seem to mind that we took over the whole place and rearranged all…More »

(416) 961-9704
Category:
Pubs
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
This is exactly what I thought bars were like when I was a kid.
This place is divey, like a dirty Cheers without the studio audience. The only music comes from the lone jukebox. Seating is strewn about the place and lower than it looks. The bar staff…More »
22. Wells Hill Park
A great park to take kids, dogs, or to generally hang out.
This park is pretty great. There's a nice playground for kids, including a wading pool and bathrooms! There's also a large grassy area where there are often pow wows and other community…More »
23. Best Buy
This is actually a pretty great spot to buy electronics. Everything is either exactly where you think it's going to be, or there's an associate to help you find it.
I've purchased a few items from here and the whole process of finding, picking and…More »

24. Shoppers Drug Mart
Toronto, ON M6C 1A1
(416) 538-1155
Neighbourhood: Wychwood
This Shopper's Drug Mart is pretty big. It has a large makeup area, food section (including tons of fridges and freezers) and photo developing.
It's open to Midnight, which can be pretty convenient. I actually don't find myself coming here all too…More »
25. Yelp Masquerade at Bar Vespa
Great time as always!!
I loved that most everyone participated in the masks. There's nothing worse than a costume party with no participants (first world problems?)
I had a bit of a problem finding the place, as Google Maps couldn't seem to decide…More »
26. Bar Vespa
Toronto, ON M6K 3K4
(416) 533-8377
A really modern spot, but the pasta isn't great.
Nicole H., Lady Chris P. and I decided to grab some food at the tail end of the Elite party. They were really impressed by the apps that were circulating, so we stayed.
Service was fantastic. I was…More »
27. Taftan Kebab
Sweet sassy molassy, this is some tasty food!
My friend brought me in here for dinner. They have a large range of food, all of which is cooked on a shish kebob. Combos are served with delicious rice and salad. We came in here on a Wednesday night,…More »
28. The Annex Wreckroom
Toronto, ON M5R 3G1
(416) 536-0346
Category:
Nightlife
Neighbourhoods: The Annex, Seaton Village
Turns out the Wreck Room is nothing like high school girls. I get older, but it does NOT stay the same.
We came here for Halloween Friday, after the bar. I talked this place up as being a great rock bar with lots of seating and a small dance floor. We…More »
29. Pizzaiolo
A pretty good pizza with a light, crispy crust.
I somehow convinced my coworkers to order Pizzaiolo with me, even though they like Panago a lot (what does this say about their tastes? I don't know, but cheeseless Panago is pretty awful). I wanted…More »

Life in the Grocery Lane (11)Places to go when you can't afford to let someone else prepare and bring your meal. |
Wing a Ding Ding! (16)Wings are my weakness. They are the kryptonite to my Superman. The garlic to my Dracula. The whoever-Weak-was-written- about to my SWV. Here are some places you can get wings, from the incredible to the incredibly mediocre. |
Something to yelp home about (11)Some of the places we've visited and/or purchased from to acquire and furnish our new home. |
Ain't no mountain high enough (8)Places that I love so much, I'd run to when the craving hits, no matter how far away I am. |
Places that ruined my week (8)Spots that turned me into a single-minded zombie, unable to concentrate on any task other than one that might bring me back. |
Giving you the business (8)Places to get some work done for the freelancer set. These places have free wifi and more likely than not are places where you can discuss a project in a casual setting over a beer. |
Friday Night Booze-down Pubs (11)Every Friday, my husband and I get together for a date after he finishes work at midnight to catch up on our week. The places we go to have to be reasonably close to the subway, preferably around the downtown core, be quiet enough for conversation and serve booze until 2am for us to get properly sloshed. |
Lunch places near Hwy. 7 and 404 (5)Having worked in the area for 3 years, I have my few choice places that I go to again and again. |
