The Dance Cave
529 Bloor St. West
416.532.1598
I’m pretty sure The Dance Cave has been around since before dirt. It’s situated above famed live-music venue, Lee’s Palace, and it’s about the same footage and layout-a big square, but without a stage for bands.
It’s got that late-80s boho Queen St. vibe that the Bamboo had and the Horseshoe [...]

In the 90s there was an illegal after hours above the paint store on the corner of College and Spadina. I only mention it because every time I go to Studio Gallery (also on the second floor on College, but a few door down) I think of that space.
It’s an alternative gallery [...]
The skins on Flo’s Diner are these: it was
a gorgeous 50s diner in the heart of Yorkville on a corner lot. It WAS where that stupid condo that’s also the Roots is now and the corner was on a parking lot which is now that park fail.
Flo’s had to move to the second floor of [...]
I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve been lusting after the olden days hard lately.
And Watusi’s got that sensibility on lock.
From the shared meals, which further encourage throwbacks like conversation to the cute way all the wait staff dress like 60s stewardesses, Watsusi’s totally Mad Men fun.
With cocktail names like: Skinny Bitch, Slow Screw [...]
Marben is a bit of a glitch as far as restaurants and bars inthe King St West neighborhood go.
You’d think it was stuck up cause it’s on Wellington and it’s really damn nice inside, not to mention the food is super high end.
But no dice, it’s actually mad cool.
Wellington is one of those secret streets [...]
Show & Tell Gallery has to have the best location in the city (1162 Dundas St. West).
Ossington is the new awesome in Toronto no matter how much west enders bitch about it being over run with the dreaded Liberty Village crowd.
The strip between Dundas and Queen is filled with sexy little resto-bars mixed in with [...]
Without Harbourfront Centre, my summer in Toronto would have no (he)art. Sigh.
Considering the ongoing Toronto waterfront revitalization debate, people seem to be caught up in the politics of the harbourfront and forget that the non-profit organization at the property’s core offers up some pretty cool things for the city to enjoy… now.
I’m not saying this [...]
At first, I wasn’t into the Big Fat Burrito - I was integrally against it.
It had that chain-resto stink on it and in ‘the market’!
No way, no how. I would never go.
And then it grew on me.
It became a neighborhood joint like any other and I never saw another so I decided to give it a whirl.
The [...]
I haven’t properly sat down for a sports match since my years on the Maple Leafs/Blue Jays bandwagon… so the mere idea of me sitting in a sports bar now seems a bit out of the ordinary. Thankfully, Hoops (458 Yonge Street) was surprisingly not offensive.
There’s no ignoring the fact that you’re in a sports [...]
