Overall not a bad place but also not amazing.  Considering I'm veg they only had 2 or 3 options on the menu.  The veggie burger was relatively ok, but we were really disappointed when we could not combine appetizers and add a side salad.  The waitress said she was not allowed, but I have a feeling it was because they could not figure out how to punch it into their computer.  Not cool.

I doubt I'll be back any time soon unless they make some menu changes.

Yelp Elite Event @ Negroni

Woohoo! First review.  Had a lot of fun this evening.  Had never been to Negroni and was very impressed when we got there.  The venue was cozy but everyone seemed to have a good time.  The staff was amazingly nice and really went out of their way to make sure everyone was eating and drinking all of the goodies.

The panini were super tasty.  I really enjoyed the herbed ricotta spread that they put out early in the evening.  The nutella and strawberry  panini at the end of the evening were also tasty messy goodness.

Yet another successful Elite event. Glad I made it out.

Sleep Country Canada

 2/15/2010   First to Review
It's been over a decade since I've had to purchase a new mattress.  To be honest I did a lot of research and was not interested in spending huge dollars, but wanted to find a good value.  Sleep Country made the purchase easy.

I loved the fact that there was absolutely no sales pressure.  We went in and were instantly helped.  The sales person walked us through the options and made us try a number of beds to get a feeling for what we wanted.  When we told him we wanted a good value he instant helped us find a clearance special and saved us over $700.  

Delivery is free and for an extra $10 they'll take away your old mattress and recycle it for you.

I'd highly recommend them.

This place is OK but not mind blowing.  The menu is large and the price is very affordable, but the food felt average to me.  Maybe I ordered the wrong thing considering the pancakes and waffles looked amazing, but I walked out not feeling like I had to go back anytime soon.

if I have one recommendation, it's to try one of the fancier, over the top, items on the menu... they looked very good from afar and based on the other reviews I think they might be the key to making this place a 4 or 5 star.

John Fluevog Shoes

I really like Fluevog boots.  I've owned a few pairs over the last 2 decades and find myself coming back as they wear out over a number of YEARS.  The shop on Queen has been pretty consistent all along and I like popping in from time to time.

The BEST time to go is in January or mid summer when they have their big clearance sale.  You can easily save a hundred + dollars on a pair of shoes that will last a long LONG time.

As per the other reviews, I find the staff friendly and helpful with no sense of pressure to buy.  Stock is usually good and they tend to offer a 10% discount if you work in the neighbourhood and qualify.

This location is a new addition to the neighbourhood.  I have to say I was pretty excited when I saw that they were opening up.  Definitely a welcome addition to Leslieville.

The pizza is pretty standard and on par with all the other Pizzaiolo locations I have eaten at.  

They have a really good walk-in special for a 2 topping XL pizza for $18.  The nice thing is that it's actually a true extra large and you get a TON of 'zza for your money.  Took about 20 minutes for my walk-in order to prepared and the end result was very tasty.

They're good competition for the average (at best) Pizza Pizza down the street.  I only wish they had a deep dish offering.

As usual, YAAYE (Yet Another Amazing Yelp Event).  I had a ton of fun tonight.  Great venue, amazing food, and awesome people.  Not the type of place I'd visit on my own but I'm glad I had a chance to sample the goods.

The staff was really great and seemed pretty in to the whole event.  The mini fish sandwiches with the spicy mayo were really tasty and this place may have some of the best sweet potato fries I've ever tasted.

The live music really helped to round out the event nicely.

Can't wait for next month. Good job Kat!

Joyride150 is simply amazing.  For those that don't know, Joyride is made up of 2 huge converted warehouse spaces that have been transformed into an indoor bike park.  The park includes almost 1km of indoor man made cross country loop, 2 pump tracks, beginner and intermediate skills park, foam pit, and a huge selection of vert ramps and jump zones.

Mountain bikers, bmxers all welcome.  You'll need to sign a waiver and buy a membership.  Weekday passes are $20 and weekends are slightly more. Helmets and brakes are mandatory.

The riding is amazingly fun.  A perfect way to stay on your bike even if it's freezing cold out during the winter.

Chang'e Studio

I decided to sign up for an intro to Pilates class here.  The studio is fairly new and I think it has only been at this location for a short while.  They offer a ton of classes through the week along with a variety of therapeutic treatments like massage.

Beyond the standard mat based classes they also offer classes that involve the hardcore Pilates machines and cover everything from basic 101 intro classes to advanced stuff.

The studio is nice and new.  A class of 10 or so people fits comfortably and all of the equipment is clean and in good shape.  The staff is friendly and helpful.  Even for someone who isn't a Yoga/Pilates regular, this place is pretty easy going and welcoming.

From what I can tell the prices for classes are fairly decent. Not the cheapest but also not insane.  They break up their services pretty well so you can pick and choose to help manage your budget.

I can see myself signing up for more classes and working this studio into my normal activity routine.

Haleakala National Park

Simply unbelievable.  The drive up takes quite a while but the scenery along the way is amazing.  You literally feel like you are climbing the twisty curvy road for hours as you crawl up to over 10,000 ft above sea level.  Make sure you take a jacket since the summit is pretty chilly, even on the hottest beach days. A full tank of gas is a good idea too.

The view from the top is spectacular.  The landscape is almost martian.  Since you'll be above the clouds you'll feel like you are on the edge of the world.  Peering down into the crater of the dormant volcano cone is mind blowing.

We had a bit of a challenge getting down the volcano as our rental car was brand new and the brakes did not agree with the long extended decline. Half way down we got to enjoy some pretty gross burning rubber smells, but it was worth it.

This place was possibly one of my favourite visits of my entire trip.
