The Outer Layer

Neighbourhood: The Annex
Like the other Outer Layer location, this store has some great stuff - cool perfumes, lotions, funny gifts, and my personal fav- cards!
I find this location has some more tame offerings. Less swearing in the cards and a few less risque options. As has been mentioned before, this store is a bit pricey on some items, and others (like Burt's Bees products) are priced the same as other competitors.
I prefer the Queen W. location, however this store is always a good place to find strange and funny things.

I had an amazing experience here working with Toni.
I had to order a large quantity of tags for a work promotion. Toni walked me through the whole process, was very communicative, and made sure that my order was completed correctly, and on time!
I found their pricing very reasonable, and I was delighted to even get a thank-you note afterwards!
Would definitely use this supplier again!

Service here is ok...the lines can sometimes be insane, particularly between 8:30-9:30 am.
Other than that - the typical starbucks experience!

Fresh & Wild
Categories:

Fruits & Veggies
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
I only ever really come here when I need a gourmet cheese, or a Christmas tree.
The Bad:
Fresh and Wild is generally overpriced - by a LOT. Especially when you could go to Shoppers a block away and get the same bread and boxed products
They often have expired canned and boxed goods
I have seen rotten fruit at this location on many occasions
The Good:
Pre-packaged wraps and sandwiches are decent
Good selection of local and gourmet cheese
Fresh bread from Ace Bakery
Organic frozen goods
I would much rather go to a Loblaws, but this store works in a pinch.

Hub Coffee House & Locavorium

Neighbourhood: Christie Pits
I love the Hub! Its such a neighbourhood place - kinda like Cheers, where everybody knows your name.
The sandwiches are cheesy, meaty and saucy delicious.
They typically offer the same varieties each day - Turkey, Ham, Grilled Cheese, and Summer Sausage. Each of them is heated up in a sandwich press and served piping hot and tasty.
Their drinks are fantastic as well - iced lattes in particular are my fav.
Don't let their "healthy cookie" fool you either - its got chocolate in it, and is perhaps even better than their regular chocolate chip cookie.
Go there. Eat there.

Not bad! Good prices, and really good tzaziki. I really enjoyed their Greek salad - lots of crumbly feta. Could have done with more toppings tho, besides just the single olive, 1/2 tomato and two slices of cucumber.
The pita was very fresh, and it was overall a good gyro.
I would never take a date here however, its very much a basement restaurant, with not a single window, and it does smell musty.
A good place to grab a quick, cheap bite of Greek food in Niagara on the Lake if you're not prepared for an expensive sit down place

Lindsay is my lifesaver!
I am so relaxed knowing she is looking after my little guy while I'm at work. They go for epic long walks together, and he always comes home pooped. My dog is what you could call "a challenge", and is very wary of new people, so I was blown away by how amazing she was with him from their very first meeting. She has since become Timmy's favourite person outside of our family and one or two friends. He is delighted to see her when we run into her around town.
Lindsay has also made sure that Tim always looks fresh to death by outfitting him in the latest trends for dogs such as bow ties, kickin' printed collars and leashes. He has become a bit of a pup about town since he's been in her care.
Would definitely recommend for walks, boarding, training advice - and of course the latest fashions for dogs!

This is a beautiful park in the center of downtown. One of my favourite views in the city is looking North on John street, where you can see The Grange (Toronto's oldest home), with the striking blue Gehry AGO behind it. It is simply spectacular - and has become a hotspot for tourists to snap some photos.
This park also has a lively dog park scene, particularly between 5:30-7pm. It's not fully fenced, but there are many barriers to the roads on either side, with trees for shade as well as a wide open space for playing fetch.
Seems the splash pad isn't open this year...probably another cut thanks to Mr. Ford.
This park does have its fair share of homeless and drug users, but for the most part its a lovely place to be when the sun is shining.

Let me tell you how much I love this place - from the kick ass Pad Thai, to the amazing Khao Soi, to the crispy and tasty squash fritters, and the coconut dessert, and the milkshakey thing. Oh man. I have NEVER had a bad meal here.
I generally don't write reviews for places that already have so many, but my first taste of the Gaeng Massaman this week blew my mind.
I'm always hesitant to try new things when you know the other things you get area always amazing. New things are risky, you know?!
But Koh San Road did not disappoint: The Gaeng Massaman curry dish with shimp made my head explode with awesomeness. Rich, coconutty, peanutty, sweet and tangy. My word. It was quite near orgasmic.
So yeah, go here. Lots.
