scotiabank theatre

I’m not sure what it is – but I find generally find service at movie theatres to be TERRIBLE (Varsity VIP excluded).
Every time I go (and I go often), it takes forever to get my ticket and forever to get my food.
Thankfully, Scotiabank Theatre (259 Richmond St. West) has a million machines you can use [...]

hungary thai

In the middle of Kensington market, on Augusta is the Hungary Thai.
It’s owned by two lovely women, one who cooks and one who waits tables. They have a small TV, a small patio and basement bathrooms that are single stall and also…pretty small.
The basic concept here is Thai food and Hungarian, which only sounds gross [...]

751

There are two sides to most everything…
1) By day, 751 is pure pub all re-deep fried McCain French fries and hot wings with the UFC playing from one of several flat screen TVs throughout.
2) At night, 751 turns into a bunch of one-off theme parties.
My favourite is probably “Slow Jams” and “Motown Party” both put [...]

dove spa

Everyone loves getting pampered.
The challenge however is finding an establishment that will give you adequate bang for your buck.
And that place is Dove Spa…here’s why:
When I walked into the Yonge and St. Clair location, I was greeted by a clean, tranquil minimalist interior that immediately put me at ease: it’s like the Apple Store of [...]

copacabana brazilian steakhouse

Carnivores take note: Copacabana is the mecca of meat.
This steakhouse is located just a walk from Yonge and Eglington and though you might not be overly impressed by the decor, the melt-in-your-mouth, never ending selection of grilled chicken, pork, beef and various fruits will keep you coming back for more.
This culinary delight doesn’t come cheap. [...]

ronnie’s local 069

Ronnnie’a Local 069 is hands down my fav bar in Kensington Market.
It’s got it all:

skids
rockers
hippies
trust fun kids
hipsters, and
a lot of the people who actually work in the market.

In the summer, time they have this big shared seating beach-table patio in the front and it’s impossible to ever get a seat, but everyone just kinda squishes. [...]

the bright pearl

The Bright Pearl is nestled in the heart of Chinatown.
It’s a 350-seater restaurant open for Lunch and dinner and it books out for banquets; absolutely, hands-down my favourite place for weekend dim sum. A real urban treat.
The crowd at The Bright Pearl is bustling and diverse. From first generation Chinese-Canadians to families, downtown kids, 20-somethings [...]

wine rack harboufront

I’m not gonna lie, most of the charges on my credit card are from the Wine Rack and I probably hit up this place at least three or four times a week.
That being said, the following things about it drive me batty (as in Darren’s experience with Blue Mountain Vineyard batty):

It only sells Canadian wine. [...]
