Theology on Tap

One Monday a month at the Duke of York pub on Prince Arthur, 50-80 young adults gather to discuss spiritual topics and make new friends. It's fun, there's free food, and above all, great guest speakers! www.faithconnections.ca for calendar of upcoming topics. Next up: Monday, Oct. 20: "Oh God, what do you want from me?" with Santo Arrigo, a young Redemptorist priest.

They carry hilarious stuff for practical and fun use. In the past, I've seen everything from Bobblehead Jesus to Hebrew keyboard stickers and a giant golden pig. Great kitchenwares, jewellery and housewares including Alessi and Pilones. I recently purchased a cute Samurai vegetable peeler for $25.

Atomic

They carry brightly-coloured home accessories, furniture, kitchenware, and clothing. Everything is in immaculate condition and in most cases, items reflect the best of industrial design of each era. I found chunky bracelets & cuffs for $25, an art-deco-inspired 80s clutch for $35, Scandinavian tripod dining chairs ($600 for 3), and Scandinavian icicle-inspired glassware and vase. Atomic is conveniently located at 955 Queen West in the Chocolate Lofts, across from Trinity-Bellwoods park.

Terrific flavours and mostly consistent texture year-round! Great prices, too! I also love their chocolates - and much cheaper than most chocolatiers. You must try the brandied fig goat cheese ice cream.

Pasquale Bros
16 Goodrich Rd, Etobicoke

Really affordable and large selection of imported cheese! Also, great olives and gourmet groceries. The only problem is they close at 4:30 Mon to Fri and are not open on weekends. But this place is WAY cheaper than Cheese Boutique.

Frock
97 Roncesvalles Av, Toronto

I found fabulous navy patent Sam Edelman shoes, Ted Baker lined wool trousers for only $108 (it must have been a mistake!), and a whole range of colourful tights at $12 a pair! They also carry Dagg and Stacey, Portolano, and other great names. And, it's right beside Cherry Bomb and Tinto for great coffee!

The all-Canadian designers actually work in the store! You have to check out the chunky Pricila Gomes sweaters as well as great finds from Thieves, Lousje & Bean, and many more locals. Interesting accessories, art and fun furniture, too! It's located on West Queen West near Brock, in Parkdale.
